Nursing Clinical Information System

Nursing Clinical Information System

Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS)
A Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS) is a specialized type of healthcare information system tailored to meet the unique needs of nursing practice. It incorporates the principles of nursing informatics to streamline information management and improve the quality of care delivery.
Critical attributes of NCIS include:

Anatomical Terminology

Anatomical Terminology

Knowledge of anatomy is essential to understand human biology and medicine. Anatomists and health care professionals use standard terminology to describe the human body with more precision and no ambiguity. Anatomical terms have mostly Greek and Latin-derived roots. Because these languages are rarely used in conversation, the meaning of words remains the same. Each term is made up of a root in between the prefixes and suffixes. The root of a term often refers to an organ, tissue, or condition,...

Health Information Technology (HIT)
Health Information Technology, commonly called HIT, integrates advanced information systems and technology in healthcare settings. Its primary functions include:

Integrated Healthcare System

Integrated Healthcare System

An integrated healthcare system (IHS) is a set of organizations that provides for or arranges to provide coordinated and continuous service to a defined population. The IHS takes responsibility for that particular population's health status and outcome, both clinically and fiscally. An integrated healthcare system is a well-organized, well-coordinated, and collaborative network. The integrated delivery system is a network that connects different healthcare providers to deliver organized,...

Methods of Documentation VII: EMR

Methods of Documentation VII: EMR

Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) primarily center around electronically documenting patients' health information within a single healthcare organization or practice. They contain essential clinical data related to a patient's medical history, diagnoses, medications, treatment plans, lab results, and other pertinent information relevant to the specific encounter or episode of care. EMRs are designed to streamline documentation and workflow processes within individual healthcare...

Patient-centered Care

Patient-centered Care

Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

Area of Science:

Health Informatics
Medical Terminology Systems
Collaborative Software Development

Background:

Sharing computing resources and medical applications across sites necessitates a common medical vocabulary.
Developing a unified medical vocabulary requires an architecture supporting collaborative, networked development.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a web-based server architecture for the collaborative development of a medical vocabulary.
To provide network services for medical applications needing a common, controlled medical terminology.

Main Methods:

Developed a web-based server architecture for collaborative medical vocabulary creation.
Implemented network services for vocabulary browsing, editing, and programmatic querying.
Tested the system with a medical application for HIV clinical trial eligibility determination.

Main Results:

The vocabulary server supports browsing, editing, and direct programmatic queries.
Demonstrated the system's utility in a practical medical application scenario.
Validated the communication protocol and tools for collaborative vocabulary improvement.

Conclusions:

The proposed architecture effectively supports the collaborative, networked development of controlled medical vocabularies.
The system enhances interoperability for medical applications requiring standardized terminology.
Focus remains on the communication protocol and tools for user-driven vocabulary enhancement.
