problem or by system).
What are the Information Technology Applications and Functions in Critical Care Environment?
Medical Information Bus (MIB)
Physiologic Monitoring System
Provides a generalized method of attaching patient monitoring devices to a common interface.
MIB
Used to classify the backbone of information exchange, allowing data to be moved from one point to another.
MIB
It has the ability to “filter”, stone and select information sent for inclusion into clinical medical record on the clinical computer system.
MIB
This Integrates multiple physiology parameters on one single small platform.
Physiologic Monitoring System
What platform integrates monitoring of the rectal temperature, electrocardiogram (ECG), respiration, oxygen saturation (SpO2), blood pressure and exhaled CO2 (EtCO2)
Physiologic Monitoring System
It Features a real-time display which provides numeric values as well as waveforms that can be customized by the user. Multiple signals can be displayed on each of the three graphs.
Physiologic Monitoring System
It is a Collective term for the methodical application of information science and technology to community and public health process.
Community Health Information System
Focuses on the health information system of the community; it is centered on the majority part of the public. It focuses on the information about the majority of populations.
It emphasizes the prevention of disease, medical intervention and public awareness.
Community Health Information System
What are the Goals of Community Health Applications?
- Effective and timely assessment involves monitoring and tracking of health status of populations including identifying and controlling disease
outbreaks epidemics. - Develop a correlation and identify risk factors that contribute to health problems.
What are the primary focus of Community Health Applications?
o Preventing, identifying, investigating and eliminating communicable
health problems.
o Accessibility of data and information, through communication
o Educating and empowering individuals to adopt health life style
o Facilitate the retrieval of data
o Effective transformation of data into information
o Effective integration of information to other disciplined to concretized
knowledge and create better understanding
o Creation of computerized patient records, medical information system
o Central repositories of all data such as data warehouse
o Simple Graphical User Interface (GUI) for nurses and other healthcare
provider, patient and consumer.
An experiment that involves the collection of measurement or observations about populations that are treated or controlled by the experimenter.
Computer Based Survey System
It is used to collect information about items in a populations to establish certain information from the obtained data.
Health Statistical Surveys
It can be used to integrate all the information obtain using different processes.
Automated System
It is used to enhance the emergency preparedness and response system, coupled and integrated to national health information system.
National electronic disease surveillance system
What are the advantages of Integration of Community Health System?
Consistent exchange of response
Disease tracking
Data and information sharing
Building strategies
Early detection and monitoring of diseases and sickness
Control of spread of disease
National alertness and preparedness
Building strong communication
Maintaining strong relation between nurses and other healthcare provider
Continuous coordination of the healthcare professionals
Synchronization of the decisions
Streamlining process
Effective management of data and information
Optimal operation of Hospital and Clinics
This care are provided for patients who are admitted overnight to a hospital.
Ambulatory Care
These services are performed at outpatient clinics, urgent care centers, emergency rooms, ambulatory or same-day surgery centers, diagnostic and imaging centers primary care centers community health centers, occupational health centers mental health clinics and group practices.
Ambulatory Care
This system provides automated processing of data and information such as allergies and medical alerts patient accounting system such as charging, billing, discounts & concessions, claims, management doctor fees, registration management for booking of
appointments, patient registration emergency management, other devices data types such as diagnostic reports related to laboratory, radiology and patient monitoring as well as providing decision support
Ambulatory Care Information System
With this system, the patient waiting is optimized through effective queue management. It only involves one-time registration require per visit. It facilitates the
management of doctors’ schedules.
Ambulatory Care Information System
What are the Role of a Nurse Using Information System in the Ambulatory Care System? The ambulatory nurse and other healthcare provider should be capable enough to implement the process effectively:
Store Data
Translate Data
Manipulate Data
Retrieved Data
