Nursing Clinical Information System

Nursing Clinical Information System

Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS)
A Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS) is a specialized type of healthcare information system tailored to meet the unique needs of nursing practice. It incorporates the principles of nursing informatics to streamline information management and improve the quality of care delivery.
Critical attributes of NCIS include:

Health Information Technology and Healthcare Information System

Health Information Technology and Healthcare Information System

Health Information Technology (HIT)
Health Information Technology, commonly called HIT, integrates advanced information systems and technology in healthcare settings. Its primary functions include:

Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine

Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine

Combining two or more treatment methods increases the life span of cancer patients while reducing damage to vital organs or tissue from the overuse of a single treatment. Combination therapy also targets different cancer-inducing pathways, thus reducing the chances of developing resistance to treatment.
The combination of the drug acetazolamide and sulforaphane is a good example of combination therapy to treat cancer. The cells in the interior of a large tumor often die due to the hypoxic and...

Integrated Healthcare System

Integrated Healthcare System

An integrated healthcare system (IHS) is a set of organizations that provides for or arranges to provide coordinated and continuous service to a defined population. The IHS takes responsibility for that particular population's health status and outcome, both clinically and fiscally. An integrated healthcare system is a well-organized, well-coordinated, and collaborative network. The integrated delivery system is a network that connects different healthcare providers to deliver organized,...

Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.
Cost Containment
Payment for healthcare services has historically promoted adoption of costly and often unnecessary or inefficient...

Area of Science:

Health Informatics
Bioinformatics
Translational Research

Background:

Multiple levels of interoperable informatics are emerging in the US to improve patient care.
These initiatives aim to link disparate data sources for comprehensive health management.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe national informatics efforts in the US.
To highlight global connections in cancer research, particularly with Europe.

Main Methods:

Overview of the National Health Information Network (NHIN) for multi-condition patient data interoperability.
Description of the National Cancer Institute's Cancer Bioinformatics Grid (caBIG) linking clinical and research data.
Explanation of National Institutes of Health (NIH) translational research for implementing genomic discoveries.

Main Results:

These informatics developments are fostering global networks for cancer diagnosis and treatment.
The caBIG program facilitates international collaboration, connecting with European initiatives.

Conclusions:

The National Cancer Research Institute (NCRI) in the UK is developing the Oncology Information Exchange (ONIX) to enhance cancer research data sharing.
These coordinated efforts aim to advance cancer research and patient care through improved information exchange.
