Summary
The Substitutable Medical Apps, Reusable Technologies (SMART) platform enables interoperability for health applications. SMART-enabling the i2b2 platform allows seamless integration of these applications for improved patient data review.
Area of Science:
- Health Informatics
- Software Engineering
- Clinical Research Informatics
Background:
- The Substitutable Medical Apps, Reusable Technologies (SMART) project developed a framework for health-related web applications.
- Interoperability in health IT is crucial for seamless data exchange and application integration.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe the SMART project's framework and its application in enabling substitutable health applications.
- To detail the SMART-enabling of the Informatics for Integrating Biology and the Bedside (i2b2) platform at Partners Healthcare.
Main Methods:
- Developed a common interface for "SMART-ready" health IT systems.
- Integrated SMART capabilities into the i2b2 open source analytical platform.
- Enabled direct interaction of SMART applications within the i2b2 web client.
Main Results:
- The SMART framework facilitates the use of substitutable health-related web applications.
- SMART-enabled i2b2 allows for direct use of SMART applications within its web client.
- Patient data visualization in an EMR-like view within i2b2 enhances the medical review process.
Conclusions:
- The SMART project provides a viable framework for health application interoperability.
- SMART-enabling existing platforms like i2b2 enhances their functionality and user experience.
- This integration supports a more natural and efficient patient data review process in clinical settings.

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
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.

Ethical Standards I
The American Nurses Association (ANA) created and implemented the first nationally accepted Code of Ethics for Nurses with Interpretive Statements. The Code of Ethics is a living document regularly updated by the ANA and establishes an ethical standard that is non-negotiable for nurses in all roles and settings.
The Code of Ethics provisions outline the nurse's duty to the patient, the healthcare team, the profession, and society. The Code's fundamental principles include advocacy,...
