Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Medical Informatics
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Hypertension is a prevalent chronic disease impacting overall prognosis.
  • Effective hypertension management requires multi-dimensional approaches beyond medication.
  • Primary care settings are crucial for managing hypertensive patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a system for standard protocol care in hypertension management.
  • To support clinical epidemiology through a comprehensive patient database.
  • To enhance decision-making for treatment selection, including lifestyle modifications and medication.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of a clinical database for symptoms, signs, lab data, and prescriptions.
  • Development of an evaluation system for patient conditions.

  • Integration of a decision support system with knowledge bases for treatment recommendations.

    • Main Results:

    • A relational database was created to manage patient records chronologically.
    • Graphical representations of medical data aid in understanding patient status.
    • Protocol care is expected to reduce unnecessary medications and laboratory tests.

    Conclusions:

    • The protocol care system supports standardized and appropriate medical management for hypertension.
    • Reduced medical expenses are anticipated due to optimized treatment and testing.
    • The system is poised to improve the quality of care and facilitate clinical research.
