Integrated Healthcare System01:20

Integrated Healthcare System

2.2K
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,...

Patient-centered Care01:13

Patient-centered Care

2.8K
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:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Computer Science Applications in Healthcare

Background:

  • Hospital Information Systems (HIS) require robust solutions for managing computer-based medical records.
  • Integrating diverse technologies within HIS presents significant challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the UNIDOC system as a feasible solution for integrating medical offices into a Hospital Information System (HIS).
  • To highlight the successful marriage of UNIX and MS-DOS technologies within a standardized, distributed open systems architecture.

Main Methods:

  • Development and operationalization of the UNIDOC system within the DIOGENE-2 HIS.
  • Implementation of a fully standardized and distributed open systems architecture.

Main Results:

  • The UNIDOC system demonstrates a successful integration of UNIX and MS-DOS.
  • The system provides a sound, general solution for medical office integration into a HIS.

Conclusions:

  • The UNIDOC system represents a viable and recommended approach for HIS integration.
  • Standardized, distributed architectures are key to successful medical record system implementation.
