Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Software Engineering

Background:

  • General practitioners (GPs) require efficient tools for managing patient data and hospital services.
  • Current healthcare systems often face challenges in real-time data management and resource allocation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a client-server application enabling GPs to access hospital services and patient data remotely.
  • To enhance GP daily workflow through features like appointment scheduling and medical record supervision.
  • To improve healthcare resource management and cost supervision via real-time transaction logging.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized advanced object-oriented techniques for client and server-side development.
  • Implemented internet connectivity via GSM wireless cellular telephones using standard protocols (HTTP, TCP/IP, CGI).

  • Developed client-side modules for patient record supervision, schedule management, hospital information, and pharmacy consultation.

    • Main Results:

    • The application facilitates booking medical examinations, hospital admissions, and patient data management.
    • Real-time, automatic entry of GP transactions into a central server database.
    • The system is currently undergoing testing in an urban healthcare setting in southern Italy.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed personal digital assistant application can significantly aid GPs in their daily tasks.
    • Potential for improved healthcare resource management and cost supervision through real-time data integration.
    • The system demonstrates a viable approach to integrating mobile technology into primary healthcare settings.
