Summary
This study integrates hospital information systems, including Electronic Medical Records (EMR), for better clinical data management. This enables remote patient care and improves healthcare accessibility through digitalized medical information systems.
Area of Science:
- Medical Informatics
- Health Information Systems
- Digital Health
Background:
- Current hospital information systems often lack integration, hindering efficient data management.
- Existing Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems can be improved for broader accessibility and functionality.
- Traditional oriental medicine requires in-person visits, limiting remote patient care.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop an integrated medical information system for effective clinical database management.
- To enhance the current hospital-based Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system.
- To facilitate remote health screening and patient data access.
Main Methods:
- Integration of Order Communication System (OCS), Picture Archiving Communication System (PACS), Laboratory Information System (LIS), and EMR.
- Development of a high-speed network for remote data access.
- Utilization of digitalized medical measurement equipment for remote diagnosis.
Main Results:
- The integrated system allows for effective management of patient treatment data.
- Remote access to patient data and health screening is enabled, even from remote areas.
- Digitalized tools allow for non-contact pulse measurement and computerized data storage.
Conclusions:
- The integrated system improves clinical information management and database efficiency.
- Remote medical treatment is possible by analyzing electronic medical records and diagnosis history.
- Establishing comprehensive medical testing centers is expected to enhance overall medical service quality.

01:30Pulse rhythm
Pulse rhythm refers to the pattern of pulsations within specific intervals, offering valuable insights into the regularity or irregularity of the heart's beats as observed through the pattern of pulsation within specific intervals. A regular pulse exhibits a consistent heart rate with uniform waveforms and pulsation force, variations of which can be classified as normal, weak, or bounding.
Conversely, an irregular pulse pattern is termed dysrhythmia, stemming from disruptions in cardiac muscle...

01:30Methods of Documentation VII: EMR
Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) primarily center around electronically documenting patients' health information within a single healthcare organization or practice. They contain essential clinical data related to a patient's medical history, diagnoses, medications, treatment plans, lab results, and other pertinent information relevant to the specific encounter or episode of care. EMRs are designed to streamline documentation and workflow processes within individual healthcare settings,...

Apical-Radial (A-R) Pulse Assessment
The A-R pulse assessment involves simultaneous evaluation of the apical and radial pulses. When the apical and radial pulse rates vary, this assessment helps identify a pulse deficit.

Assessment of Radial Pulse
The radial pulse, located at the wrist, is often the preferred site for assessing peripheral pulse because of its accessibility and dependability. The process of determining the radial pulse involves several steps:

01:16Pulse
When the heart pumps blood out, arterial elastic fibers play a crucial role in sustaining a high-pressure gradient. They expand to accommodate the received blood and then recoil - a process known as the pulse that can be either manually palpated or electronically quantified. Despite a reduction in its effect with increased distance from the heart, elements of the pulse's systolic and diastolic components persist, observable even at the arteriole level.

01:05Pulse
The pulse is one of the most fundamental physiological indicators of the body's cardiovascular health. It is the rhythmic expansion and contraction of the arterial walls in response to the pressure generated by the heart's pumping action.
Pulse Rate and its Significance
Pulse rate, often measured in beats per minute (bpm), reflects the heart rate (HR), which is influenced by numerous factors such as stress, physical activity, and hormonal changes. A normal resting adult pulse rate falls between...
