Area of Science:

  • Psychiatric informatics
  • Clinical information systems
  • Healthcare administration technology

Background:

  • Traditional paper-based record keeping in psychiatric departments presents challenges in data management and efficiency.
  • The need for integrated systems to handle clinical records and administrative tasks in psychiatric settings is growing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and implement a computerized clinical application for psychiatric departments.
  • To assess the system's impact on record quality, departmental efficiency, and user acceptance.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a computerized system using the CLICKS program on a network of 34 personal computers with Novell Netware 3.11.
  • Implementation involved distinct stages: planning, record structuring, programming, practice, and operation.

  • Evaluation of system performance, record quality, and user (patient) acceptance.

    • Main Results:

    • The computerized system successfully integrates clinical records and administrative functions for psychiatric departments and outpatient clinics.
    • Patients favorably accepted the new system.
    • The system demonstrated advantages over paper-based record keeping, enhancing record quality and departmental efficiency, though it required slightly more time.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed computerized psychiatric clinical application (CLICKS program) is effective in improving record quality and departmental efficiency.
    • The system offers a viable, well-accepted alternative to traditional record-keeping methods in psychiatric care.
    • Further adoption of such systems can enhance overall psychiatric service delivery.
