Electronic Medical Record Adoption in New Zealand Primary Care Physician Offices
Describes EMR adoption in New Zealand's primary healthcare system, including how government investment was secured and data protection laws, unique patient identifiers, and standards and certification were established, with lessons for the United States
A Community-Driven Validation Service for Standard Medical Imaging Objects
Digital medical imaging laboratories contain many distinct types of equipment
provided by different manufacturers. Interoperability is a critical issue and
the DICOM protocol is a de facto standard in those environments. However,
manufacturers' implementation of the standard may have non-conformities at
several levels, which will hinder systems' integration. Moreover, medical staff
may be responsible for data inconsistencies when entering data. Those
situations severely affect the quality of healthcare services since they can
disrupt system operations. The existence of software able to confirm data
quality and compliance with the DICOM standard is important for programmers, IT
staff and healthcare technicians. Although there are a few solutions that try
to accomplish this goal, they are unable to deal with certain situations that
require user input. Furthermore, these cases usually require the setup of a
working environment, which makes the sharing of validation information more
difficult. This article proposes and describes the development of a Web DICOM
validation service for the community. This solution requires no configuration
by the user, promotes validation results share-ability in the community and
preserves patient data privacy since files are de-identified on the client
side.Comment: Computer Standards & Interfaces, 201
A modular multipurpose, parameter centered electronic health record architecture
Health Information Technology is playing a key role in healthcare. Specifically, the use of electronic health records has been found to bring about most significant improvements in healthcare quality, mainly as relates to patient management, healthcare delivery and research support. Health record systems adoption has been promoted in many countries to support efficient, high quality integrated healthcare. The objective of this work is the implementation of an Electronic Health Record system based on a relational database. The system architecture is modular and based on the concentration of specific pathology related parameters in one module, therefore the system can be easily applied to different pathologies. Several examples of its application are described. It is intended to extend the system integrating genomic data
