Massachusetts General Hospital developed a Web-based Clinical Summary application for physician access to patient clinical information. This system offers a rapid and cost-effective clinical information solution.

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Medical Information Systems
  • Web-based Healthcare Applications

Background:

  • Physicians require efficient access to comprehensive patient clinical information.
  • Existing clinical information systems may lack accessibility or be costly to develop.
  • Massachusetts General Hospital sought to improve clinical data accessibility for referring physicians.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the design, function, and implementation of the Clinical Summary Web-based application.
  • To demonstrate a rapid and cost-effective method for developing a new clinical information system.
  • To provide healthcare professionals with timely access to patient data.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a Web-based front end for the Clinical Summary application.
