Given the increasing prevalence of multimorbidity in primary care (PC), interdisciplinary PC teams supported by appropriate clinical information systems (CIS) are needed in order to deal with the complexity of multimorbid patients’ care. Our team has developed such a system, called the Da Vinci system. However, despite the expected benefits, evidence suggests generally low rates of CIS adoption. To optimize adoption in PC settings, a better understanding of the implementation process of such systems is crucial.

Background
Information deficits contribute to medical errors. Hence several efforts to develop electronic communication systems to facilitate a flow of information between health care providers have been attempted, including initiatives to develop regional or national electronic patient summaries.
Objectives
To study information access and information needs in inpatient emergency departments, and how clinicians in these departments handle deficits in available information.

Reports of health information systems failures identified the guilty parties laying with issues around social, technical, and organizational factors. The reason so many systems fail may lie in the socio-cultural fit of e-Health systems. We do not understand how to deliver information to providers when they need it, in a usable format, and in a way that fits transparently into their workflow and into the daily lives of patients.

Lilly CM, Thomas EJ. Journal of Intensive Care Medicine, 25(1)
Tele-intensive care unit (ICU) is a care provided to critically ill patients by off-site clinicians using audio, video, and electronic links to leverage technical, informational, and clinical resources. Providing care includes the ability to detect patient’s instability or laboratory abnormalities in real-time, collect additional clinical information from or about the patient, order diagnostic testing, make diagnoses, implement treatment, render other forms of intensive care such as managing life-support devices, and communicate with patients and bedside providers.

Objectives:
We examine the potential of archetype patterns for upper-level ontology development in health information systems (HISs).
Methods:
Archetype patterns, based on the integration of archetype concepts and design patterns, are conceptualized and developed for ontology in the HIS domain. The UML provides the underlying modeling support.

Purpose
The purpose of this study was to examine nurses’ attitudes and reflection on the transformation of their workpractices after the implementation of an Emergency Department Information System (EDIS).
Methods
A qualitative study using interviews, mainly with nurses, conducted four years after the implementation of an EDIS at the emergency department (ED) of a large university hospital in Midlands, UK.

La experiencia creciente en sistemas de información en salud, como las historias clínicas electrónicas (HCE), ha demostrado beneficios luego de una adecuada implementación en muchos países del mundo. La mayoría de estudios provienen de países desarrollados donde se ha reportado que en hospitales donde se ha implementado HCE registraron menos complicaciones, menos tasas de mortalidad y menores costos luego de su implementación.

Despite some clinical, economic, and other qualitative advantages associated with remote cardiac device monitoring systems, one of the main challenges concerns the management of the out-of-hospital data. Manual updating of hospital databases with the data stored in the manufacturers’ servers increases time requirements and may introduce mistakes in the entries. The use of communication standards such as Health Level 7 for data interchange could provide a safe and easy way to access patient and device information. The present study of 38 patients was carried out with the Carelink® remote monitoring technology. A formal process for remote cardiac device monitoring was established, including some features in the Arrhythmias Information System: mobile phone and e-mail were included for communication between patients and hospital, with a new gateway for automatic message sending.

Recognition of the improvements in patient safety, quality of patient care, and efficiency that health care information systems have the potential to bring has led to significant investment. Globally the sale of health care information systems now represents a multibillion dollar industry. As policy makers, health care professionals, and patients, we have a responsibility to maximize the return on this investment. To this end we analyze alternative licensing and software development models, as well as the role of standards.

“Siete meses después de la implantación oficial del sistema informático Selene en la atención primaria del Servicio Riojano de Salud (Seris) un elevado porcentaje de los médicos que lo usan a diario arremeten contra un programa que, según ellos, lejos de facilitar su trabajo, lo ha ralentizado considerablemente. La lentitud, la tardía visualización en la pantalla de radiografías o analíticas, la pérdida de información clínica o los problemas para rellenar las recetas ya no se pueden achacar, según los médicos afectados, al lógico reajuste o al consabido periodo de adaptación y transición entre un programa informático y otro.

The health information technology movement focuses much of its energy on the use of electronic medical records by clinicians, but the use of information technology by patients carries equal promise. Outside of health care, the public routinely uses computers and smart phones to access information and perform tasks with a click of a button.

“With respondents representing organizations ranging from small hospitals and midsize health systems to physician organizations, this survey shows significant diversity and disparity in attitudes. For example, while more than half of the healthcare leaders are satisfied with their health information systems’ functionality, less than half are satisfied with their systems’ cost and value.

In this paper, we present MedWise, a high level design of a medical information infrastructure, and its architecture. The proposed system offers a comprehensive, modular, robust and extensible infrastructure to be used in public health care systems. The system gathers reliable and evidence based health data, which it then classifies, interprets and stores into a particular database. It creates a healthcare ecosystem that aids the medical community by providing for less error prone diagnoses and treatment of diseases. This system will be standards-compliant; therefore it would be complementary to the existing healthcare and clinical information systems.

With the progress and the development of information technology, the internal data in medical organizations have become computerized and are further established the medical information system. Moreover, the use of the Internet enhances the information communication as well as affects the development of the medical information system that a lot of medical information is transmitted with the Internet. Since there is a network within another network, when all networks are connected together, they will form the “Internet”. For this reason, the Internet is considered as a high-risk and public environment which is easily destroyed and invaded so that a relevant protection is acquired. Besides, the data in the medical network system are confidential that it is necessary to protect the personal privacy, such as electronic patient records, medical confidential information, and authorization-controlled data in the hospital.
