[Design and implementation of an integrated information platform for emergency interconnection]

Area of Science:

• Medical Informatics
• Emergency Medicine
• Health Information Systems

Background:

• Emergency departments face challenges in managing patient flow and information.
• Existing systems often lack integration, leading to inefficiencies.
• A patient-centered approach is crucial for optimizing emergency care.

Purpose of the Study:

• To develop a patient-centered integrated information platform for emergency interconnection.
• To improve the efficiency and quality of emergency diagnosis and treatment.
• To support clinical decision-making and department management in emergency medicine.

Main Methods:

• Modularization, process standardization, and system integration were employed.
• The platform incorporates modules for triage, physician workstations, electronic medical records, clinical pathways, and more.
• Existing hospital IT infrastructure was leveraged for development.

Main Results:

• The integrated information platform was successfully developed and implemented.
• It demonstrated strong compatibility, stable performance, and efficient processing capabilities.
• The platform significantly reduced patient processing times, improved work efficiency, and ensured timely care for critical patients, improving outcomes for conditions like acute trauma and respiratory failure.

Conclusions:

• The developed platform effectively supports the entire emergency care process.
• It meets the daily operational needs of emergency departments.
• The system enhances the quality of emergency medical services and departmental management.
