Using the Asseco Medical Management Solutions Program to Monitor Patients After Kidney Transplantation

Area of Science:

• Medical Informatics
• Transplant Surgery
• Health Information Systems

Background:

• Poland faces a shortage of doctors, with 2.31 per 1000 population, necessitating efficient patient monitoring systems.
• Increasing patient numbers and medical records strain healthcare resources, highlighting the need for advanced IT solutions.
• The Asseco Medical Management Solutions (AMMS) system has been utilized for five years at Pomeranian Medical University's Department of General and Transplant Surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

• To evaluate the clinical utility of the AMMS system in monitoring renal transplant recipients.
• To assess the system's effectiveness in the early detection of post-transplant complications.
• To determine if AMMS improves the management and analysis of patient data.

Main Methods:

• A retrospective study analyzed 100 renal transplant patients treated between 2012 and 2017.
• Key data points included laboratory test results (complete blood count), creatinine, urea, potassium levels, and immunosuppressive drug dosages.
• The AMMS system was used to analyze these parameters for assessing graft function predictors.

Main Results:

• The AMMS system demonstrated clinical usefulness in evaluating predictors of early graft dysfunction.
• Significant time savings were achieved in the analysis of patient medical records.
• The system facilitated retrospective evaluation and timely modification of treatment plans.

Conclusions:

• The AMMS system enhances medical record management for post-surgical patients, enabling effective treatment review and adjustment.
• Standardizing medical IT systems in Poland would improve data accessibility and inter-institutional information exchange.
• A unified system could support large-scale, multi-facility scientific meta-analyses for advancing transplant research.
