Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Health Information Technology
  • Cardiology Information Systems

Background:

  • Improving general practitioner-patient-hospital relationships is crucial for quality patient care.
  • Current information and networking technologies offer potential solutions for healthcare data management.
  • The cardiology division, particularly for Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA) patients, presents complex data management challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To enhance the quality of patient care by improving communication and data accessibility.
  • To develop a system for remote access to medical records for general practitioners (GPs) involved in post-PTCA patient follow-up.
  • To leverage information technology for better management of complex patient data.

Main Methods:

  • Development of the KHOSPAD project utilizing information and networking technologies.
  • Implementation of ARCADIA, an object-oriented database management system for PTCA patient data.
  • Creation of a remotely accessible view of the ARCADIA medical record for authorized GPs.
  • Utilizing PC, modem, and Internet for remote data consultation.

Main Results:

  • A functional system allowing authorized GPs to remotely consult PTCA patient medical records.
  • Management and display of complex data, including multimedia and temporal features.
  • An object-oriented temporal data model underpinning the application's data management capabilities.

Conclusions:

  • Remote access to patient data via KHOSPAD can improve the continuity and quality of care for post-PTCA patients.
  • Information technology, specifically object-oriented databases and remote access, can effectively manage complex clinical data.
  • Enhanced GP access to hospital data strengthens the general practitioner-patient-hospital relationship, benefiting patient outcomes.
