eHealth
3 components of eHealth
- Storage
- Retrieval
- Transmittal
Storage
It is an electronic system used and maintained by healthcare systems to collect and store patients’ medical information
Electronic Health Record (EHR)
Storage
These are used across clinical care and healthcare administration to capture a variety of medical information from individual patients over time, as well as to manage clinical workflows.
Electronic Health Record (EHR)
Storage
These contain different types of patient-level variables, such as demographics, diagnoses, problem lists, medications, vital signs, and laboratory data.
Electronic Health Record (EHR)
Storage
These has multiple core functionalities, including the capture of health information, orders and results management, clinical decision support, health information exchange, electronic communication, patient support, administrative processes, and population health reporting.
National Academies of Medicine:
Electronic Health Record (EHR)
Retrieval
It transforms the ordeal of tracking down referral care records, full diagnostic imaging, and pathology—which can often drag on for weeks—into a quick, simple turnkey service that can be initiated a nurse.
eHealth Record Retrieval Service
It is an element of health informatics that focuses mainly on the administrational needs of hospitals.
Hospital Information System (HIS)
a.k.a hospital management software (HMS) or hospital management system
It is a comprehensive, integrated information system designed to manage all the aspects of a hospital’s operation, such as medical, administrative, financial, and legal issues and the corresponding processing of services.
Hospital Information System (HIS)
a.k.a hospital management software (HMS) or hospital management system
It provides a common source of information about a patient’s health history
Hospital Information System (HIS)
a.k.a hospital management software (HMS) or hospital management system
It is a medical imaging technology which provides economical storage and convenient access to images from multiple modalities (source machine types).
Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS)
These typically contain general information such as treatment and medical history about a patient as it is collected by the individual medical practice.
Electronic Medical Record (EMR)
digital equivalent of paper records, or charts at a clinician’s office
What allows e-health users to communicate with health care professionals by e-mail, to access medical records, to research health information, and to engage in person-to-person exchange of text, audio, video, and other data
Internet
It provides both audio and visual transfer of a variety of information between two or more individuals at two or more locations in real time.
Interactive TV
also known as polycom
These freestanding devices (usually computers), are used in e-health to provide interactive information to the user.
Kiosks
can also be used to collect data and information from users
These are used to store data digitally
DVDs, USB flash drives, and other media
These are the fundamental elements of cognition and are defined as unanalyzed raw facts that do not imply meaning.
Data
(Gudea, 2005)
When meaning is attributed to data and when data are processed and analyzed, then data become information.
In order for information to be valuable, data must have the following characteristics:
- Accuracy
- Accessibility
- Comprehensiveness
- Consistency/Reliability
- Currency
- Definition
characteristic of data:
This ensure that documentation reflects the event as it happened
Accuracy
characteristic of data:
This is data characteristic which ascertains data availability should the patient or any member of the health care staff needs.
Accessibility
characteristic of data:
Data inputted should be complete
Comprehensiveness
characteristic of data:
Having no discrepancies in data recorded
Consistency/Reliability
characteristic of data:
All data must be up-to-date and timely
Currency
characteristic of data:
Data should be properly labeled and clearly defined
Definition
The most prominent of these measures is ________, which seeks to establish the national health passport system.
House Bill No. 8 (‘HB 8’)
When it comes to the availability of healthcare services, Filipinos often experience a crisis in confidence brought about by WHAT various factors:
- High cost
- Poor accessibility
- Lack of patient data or information
- Decentralized government
- Proposed solution
High cost:
A recent study shows that ____ of Filipinos are unsure whether they can pay for their medical bills, while ____ do not know whether they can afford regular checkups.
- 40%
- 35%
Decentralized government:
Under what RA or Local Government Code, states that local government units (LGUs) are autonomous, and therefore in control of their own basic health services, including the budget.
RA 7160 or the Local Government Code of 1991
What is the One key solution to the healthcare problems that has recently been gaining traction
the development of a framework for eHealth in the Philippines
The DOH, though what Administrative Oder No., outlined the policy directions of Universal Health Care. Also known as kalusugan pangkalahatan (KP),
Administrative Oder No. 2010-0036
These are basically comprehensive patient records that are stored and accessed from a computer or server
