Logic Model and System Classification Flashcards
Graphic way to organize information and display thinking.
• LOGIC MODEL
Support design, planning, communication, evaluation, and learning.
• LOGIC MODEL
Often used when explaining an idea, resolving a challenge, or assessing progress.
LOGIC MODEL
- resources required for the system to be fully functional such as personnel, logistics, financing, ICT.
Inputs
tangible, countable products produced by the activities; can be measured
Outputs
direct products of health information system’s activities
Outputs
dissemination, sharing, and use of information
Outputs
expected changes in the population served that result from a program’s activities and fall along a continuum
Outcomes
type of outcome; change the knowledge, and skills; aiming to spread information
Short-term
type of outcome; changes in behavior or action
Medium-term
type of outcome; changes in condition or status of services as a whole; ex. You want to improve healthcare in general
Long-term
LOGIC MODELS UNDERLYING TWO SYSTEMS
- Electronic Medical Records System (EMR)
- Laboratory Information System (LES)
- Only contains a few elements or few components; its interaction is one direction and uninterrupted
Simple
- Contains many elements that are highly related or interconnected
Complex
- Interacts with its environments through receiving and giving information
Open
- Interaction only happens within specific systems
- Shutoff from the outside environment
- Limited only to their system
- Data confined in the data base
Closed
- Changes little over time
Stable
- Rapidly and consistently changing
Dynamic
- Owned by a vendor and can only be changed by vendor
Proprietary
- Typically, there is a license to run the system and users have to pay fees (eg. Microsoft Office, Commercial health management information systems: Bizbox)
Proprietary
- Free
- Not owned by a vendor and can be modified; no license and user fees (eg. Open Office)
Public
- Holds data for a long-time
- Long-time system
Permanent
- Short-time system
- Emergency shelter is an example
Temporary
- Refers to a process for developing any kind of software
- Undergoes peer-reviewed
Open source
- Public software, open-source software developed through an open-source community, or by one developer who wants to freely share the software developed
Freeware
- User access data through software that uses web technologies (HTTP)
Web-based
- Often run inside a web browser and can run locally on one machine over a local network that isn’t connected to the internet, or over the internet
Web-based
- Allow the healthcare worker collect multiple data points in a standard way
Health Information System
Examples of Popular Health Information Systems
- Electronic Medical Records
- Laboratory Information Systems
- Logistics Management Information System
- Mobile platforms
- District health information systems
o Collecting data
o Storing data
o Retrieving data
Activities/Processes
Types of outcomes
Short-term, Medium-term, Long-term
