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:
Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System01:26

Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System

At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is limited...
Integrated Healthcare System01:20

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,...
Secondary Healthcare System01:11

Secondary Healthcare System

Secondary healthcare is offered by a specialist, generally in hospitals or clinics for patients referred by primary healthcare providers. It occurs when a person has an illness or injury that requires specific medical care. Secondary care is often referred to as acute care. Secondary care can range from uncomplicated care to repair a minor laceration or treat a strep throat infection to more complicated emergent care, such as treating a head injury sustained in an automobile accident. Whatever...
Tertiary Healthcare System01:21

Tertiary Healthcare System

Specialized care provided over an extended period is called tertiary care. Usually, a primary or secondary care physician will refer a patient to tertiary care. A patient's maximum physical and mental function is restored in tertiary care, which is caused due to the impact of a chronic illness or condition. Tertiary care aims to achieve the highest level of functioning possible while managing chronic illness. For example, a patient who falls and fractures their hip will need secondary care to...
Purpose of Health Records I01:11

Purpose of Health Records I

The vital purpose of health records is to provide a complete and accurate account of a patient's medical history, including communication, diagnostic and therapeutic orders, care planning, research, and quality review.
Here's a breakdown of how health records serve these purposes:

Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Knowledge Translation
  • Health Systems Science

Background:

  • Research knowledge infrastructures (RKIs) facilitate evidence use in healthcare.
  • RKIs encompass instruments for accessing, disseminating, and using evidence.
  • A developed framework outlines key RKI domains: climate for research use, research production, linking research to action, and evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To profile the RKI components in regional health authorities, primary care practices, and hospitals.
  • To assess the current mix and experience with RKI components in two Canadian provinces.
  • To gather insights on future RKI development initiatives.

Main Methods:

  • Semistructured telephone interviews with key personnel (senior management, library managers, knowledge brokers).
  • Purposive sampling across three regional health authorities, six hospitals, and six primary care practices in Ontario and Quebec.
  • Exploration of helpful RKI components, implementation barriers/facilitators, and future development views.

Main Results:

  • The study will identify the current state of RKIs across different health system organizations.
  • It will highlight effective RKI components and challenges in their implementation.
  • Insights into decision-makers' perspectives on enhancing RKIs will be gathered.

Conclusions:

  • This qualitative study examines RKI efforts to increase research evidence use in health systems.
  • Anticipates identifying broadly applicable insights for building effective RKIs.
  • Identified RKI components may enhance evidence-based decision-making in healthcare.
