Summary
Intensive Care Information Systems (ICIS) significantly improve information management, clinical decision support, and patient outcomes. Wider adoption of ICIS enhances critical care services and reduces healthcare costs.
Area of Science:
- Critical care medicine
- Health informatics
Background:
- Increasing demand for intensive care due to aging populations and socioeconomic factors necessitates improved healthcare environments.
- Intensive Care Information Systems (ICIS) offer a potential solution to address challenges within intensive care units (ICUs).
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the impact of ICIS on healthcare practitioners' practices.
- To assess the influence of ICIS on patient outcomes.
- To determine the effect of ICIS on ICU performance.
Main Methods:
- A systematic review of scientific databases and electronic journal citations was conducted.
- 22 articles discussing ICIS outcomes were included from an initial search of 609 articles.
Main Results:
- ICIS demonstrated a median impact of 48.7% on information management.
- Significant improvements were observed in user outcomes (36.4%), cost savings (24%), clinical decision support (22.7%), clinical outcomes (18.6%), and research (18%).
Conclusions:
- Growing ICIS functionalities present opportunities for enhanced, patient-centered critical care.
- Standardization guidelines for ICIS integration with Hospital Information Systems (HIS) are needed to maximize effectiveness.
- ICIS adoption improves patient care and reduces healthcare expenses.

2.2K
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...
