Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Special Education
  • Health Informatics

Background:

  • Children in special schools frequently have complex health needs and multiple physical disabilities.
  • Extensive and fragmented case notes hinder information accessibility for healthcare providers.
  • Coordinated care is challenged by the lack of readily available patient information.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the challenge of inaccessible health information for children with severe learning difficulties and physical disabilities.
  • To propose a solution for improving information accessibility and care coordination.

Main Methods:

  • The study proposes the implementation of a Personal Health Record (PHR).
  • The PHR would be concise and regularly updated.
  • The PHR would be provided to the child or their carer.

Main Results:

  • A Personal Health Record can consolidate essential health information.
  • Regular updates ensure the record remains current and relevant.
  • Accessibility of the PHR facilitates timely and appropriate care decisions.

Conclusions:

  • A Personal Health Record is a viable solution for managing complex health information in special education settings.
  • Implementing PHRs can significantly enhance the quality and efficiency of care for children with multiple disabilities.
  • Empowering children and carers with accessible health records promotes better health outcomes.
