Archival Research

Archival Research

Some researchers gain access to large amounts of data without interacting with a single research participant. Instead, they use existing records to answer various research questions. This type of research approach is known as archival research. Archival research relies on looking at past records or data sets to look for interesting patterns or relationships. For example, a researcher might access the academic records of all individuals who enrolled in college within the past ten years and...

Methods of Documentation I: Source-Oriented Records

Methods of Documentation I: Source-Oriented Records

Source-oriented records, or SOR, are medical record-keeping organized by the data source. The SOR system was first developed in the mid-1900s to organize the growing patient data in hospitals and other healthcare facilities.
In an SOR, each discipline involved in patient care maintains a separate medical record section. This record-keeping method enables easy tracking of patient progress and ensures healthcare staff have access to up-to-date information.
Key Attributes include the following:

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

Methods of Documentation V: CBE

Methods of Documentation V: CBE

Charting by Exception, or CBE, is a method of documentation used in healthcare, particularly in nursing, that focuses on documenting only significant or abnormal findings rather than recording every detail. This approach aims to streamline the documentation process, improve efficiency, and ensure that healthcare providers can quickly identify deviations from normalcy in patient assessments.
In CBE, healthcare professionals establish predefined standards of practice that define what constitutes...

Background:

Effective management of the International Network of Person-Centered Medicine (INPCM) relies on robust information systems.
Timely knowledge dissemination and research support are crucial for advancing patient care quality.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe the structure and functions of a proposed information system for the INPCM.
To outline how the system will support INPCM's diverse functions, including knowledge distribution and research catalysis.

Main Methods:

System design and functional specification for the INPCM information system.
Integration of data acquisition, storage, retrieval, and analysis capabilities.

Main Results:

The proposed system provides a comprehensive informational base for the INPCM.
The system is designed for efficient knowledge distribution and systematic research support.

Conclusions:

The developed information system is essential for the successful operation and growth of the INPCM.
This system will enhance the quality of patient care through improved knowledge sharing and research infrastructure.
