1.) Have substantially influenced healthcare
2.) The application of organized knowledge and skills in the form of medicines, medical devices, vaccines, procedures and systems
developed to solve a health problem and improve quality of life.
3.) Advocates for extensive use of innovations to achieve
universal health coverage and other Sustainable Development Goals
1.) Technology
2.) Health Technology
3.) WHO
Key Factors for Early adoption of technology
✓ large unmet demand
✓ ease and safety of application
✓ affordability
✓ positive perception among the prescribers and users about the technology
• Nurses retrieve and
display patient data
over time via EMR.
• Standardized nursing
care plans, critical
pathways, and care
maps are stored
digitally
Tracking Client Status
Components of CCIS
1.Physiologic Monitoring System
2.Vital Sign Monitoring
3. Clinical Documentation
4. Decision Support
5. Medication Management
6. Interdisciplinary Plan of Care
7. Provider Order Entry
8. COMPUTERIZED CLINICAL ALERT
Ordering supplies, tests,
meals, and services.
• Scheduling appointments
and staff shifts.
• Insurance and billing
accuracy.
Practice management
• Tracks caseloads and
healthcare benefit
eligibility.
• Manages payer reporting
requirements and service
provider details
Case management
• Collects, stores, and manages
critical patient data.
• Integrates data from physiologic
monitoring systems, infusion
pumps, ventilators, and other
devices.
Critical Care Information System (CCIS)
OR
Medical Information BUS
• Process, store and integrate
physiologic and diagnostic
information of patient
• Present deviations or abnormalities
by setting an alarm
• Analyze and present data trends in
graphical form
Physiologic Monitoring System
1.) • Bedside monitoring system acquires
data such as heart rate from the ECG,
parameters from arterial and
pulmonary arterial invasive blood
pressure, temperatures, noninvasive
blood pressure and arterial saturation
and heart rate from pulse oximetry
Vital Signs monitoring
Record and integrate data on patient vital signs
Clinical Document
• Provide access to vital patient
information thus supporting clinical
decision making
• Electronic devices at patient’s bedside that
sources of important clinical information
Decision Support
1.) Control the dosages and drips given to patients
2.) Allows nursing professions to check on patients, even if they’re on the move or busy helping someone else
1.) Automated IV pumps
2.) Portable Monitors
1.) Can help nurses track movement, weight and even vitals. Can also play a major role in keeping patients safe and comfortable during a long hospital stay
2.) Devices that help track heart rates, exercise, sleep, respiration and more. They are helping people take their health into their own hands
1.) Smart Beds
2.) Wearable Devices
Bedside computer terminal access can facilitate real time charting and increase nursing time at bedside
Computer on Wheels
✅ Online Fully integrated medication
✅ Significant time reduction associated with transcription medications to paper
✅ decrease transcription error
Medication Management
Barcode on patients bands and medication packaging helps to double check that the right medication is being given to the right patient at the right time
Barcode Technology
Eliminates handwriting errors, reduces verbal orders and improves patient safety
Interdisciplinary Plan of Care
can be used in conjunction with the
hospital pharmacy. A system design is
created to alert both pharmacy and
health staff when two or more drug
prescriptions are incompatible
Computerized Clinical Alert
System alerts the nurse immediately if any inconsistencies or potential problem exist
• Online and integrated Rules and Alerts
• Drug allergy alerts based on order entry
• Drug- drug interaction alerts
• Alerts for abnormal lab values and vital signs
• Alerts for new orders
• Alert for order renewals
• Alert for scheduled patient events
Primary focus of community health information system
1.) Preventing, identifying, investigating and eliminating communicable health problems
2.) Accessibility of data and information, through communication
3.) Educating and empowering individuals to adopt healthy lifestyle
The main use of computers in the community settings are
1.) Gathering epidemiological and administrative statistics
2.) Patient appointments - Identification system
3.) Monitoring of programs in the community
4.) Documentation
5.) PPGIS / Community Mapping
• Monthly report, no of birth
immunization, communicable
diseases, deaths, delivery
• Field workers engaged in monitoring of epidemics, outbreaks and analyzing the morbidity trend of their village
gathering epidemiological and administrative statistics
To enhance the emergency preparedness and response system, a special system such as national electronic diseases surveillance system can be coupled
Community Electronic disease surveillance system
People can have access to the details of dispensaries, diagnostics centers, medical shop and hospital in the locality, medical colleges, rehabilitation centers
Patient appointments identification system
