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:

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...

Methods of Documentation VI: Case Management Model

Methods of Documentation VI: Case Management Model

The case management model is a multidisciplinary approach that involves healthcare professionals from diverse disciplines, such as physicians, nurses, therapists, social workers, and pharmacists, working collaboratively to address the various needs of patients. Each healthcare professional brings unique expertise and perspectives, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the patient's condition and tailoring treatment plans accordingly.
For example, a patient with a chronic illness...

Secondary Healthcare System

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...

Area of Science:

Health Informatics
Clinical Decision Support Systems
Software Engineering in Healthcare

Background:

Healthcare delivery systems require interoperable clinical decision support (CDS) tools.
Existing CDS systems often lack scalability and shareability across different institutions and regions.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a shareable clinical decision support (CDS) system applicable across diverse healthcare delivery systems and large geographic regions.

Main Methods:

The enterprise clinical rules service (ECRS) was developed using enterprise Java beans.
Leveraged off-the-shelf rules management systems for consistency, maintainability, and scalability.
Implemented nine core design principles for robust decision support.

Main Results:

ECRS was deployed at Partners HealthCare System and utilized in consortium trials.
Included internally developed systems, Regenstrief Institute, and vendor-based systems in Oregon and New Jersey.
Demonstrated sub-second response times, excluding data retrieval and document assembly.

Conclusions:

ECRS design and trials confirm its flexibility and modularity for widespread use.
The system exhibits adequate performance for broad application in clinical decision support.
Future work will explore additional CDS patterns, data passing methods, and performance optimizations.
