This study models healthcare information flow, identifying information quanta and defining Clinical Information Process Units (CIPUs) and Transfer Modules (TraMs) to improve data management.

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Clinical Workflow Analysis
  • Information Management

Background:

  • Healthcare delivery involves complex information flow, often fragmented by clinical processes.
  • Effective information transfer is crucial for patient care and operational efficiency.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To model the information flow in Healthcare Delivery Environments (HDE).
  • To analyze the information transfer process within HDE.
  • To provide a framework for designing IT applications and reorganizing information management.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a model of HDE information flow based on data from healthcare professionals.
  • Introduced Clinical Information Process Units (CIPUs) to represent fragmented information quanta.
  • Defined Transfer Modules (TraMs) to describe information transfer events between CIPUs.

Main Results:

  • Identified 32 CIPUs across various clinical environments and professional groups.
  • Established a matrix for classifying transfer situations among CIPUs.
  • Characterized TraM content based on transfer situation specifics (emitter, receiver, purpose).

Conclusions:

  • The developed model using CIPUs, TraMs, and information links offers a systematic approach to understanding HDE information transfer.
  • This framework can guide the development of improved information technology applications in healthcare.
  • The model provides insights for reorganizing information management to enhance efficiency and patient care.
