Summary Background: Numerous projects, initiatives, and programs are dedicated to the development of Electronic Health Records (EHR) worldwide. Increasingly more of these plans have recently been brought from a scientific environment to real life applications. In this context, quality is a crucial factor with regard to the acceptance and utility of Electronic Health Records. However, the dissemination of the existing quality approaches is often rather limited. Objectives: The present paper aims at the description and comparison of the current major quality certification approaches to EHRs. Methods: A literature analysis was carried out in order to identify the relevant publications with regard to EHR quality certification. PubMed, ACM Digital Library, IEEExplore, CiteSeer, and Google (Scholar) were used to collect relevant sources. The documents that were obtained were analyzed using techniques of qualitative content analysis. Results: The analysis discusses and compares the quality approaches of CCHIT, EuroRec, IHE, openEHR, and EN13606. These approaches differ with regard to their focus, support of service-oriented EHRs, process of (re-)certification and testing, number of systems certified and tested, supporting organizations, and regional relevance. Discussion: The analyzed approaches show differences with regard to their structure and processes. System vendors can exploit these approaches in order to improve and certify their information systems. Health care organizations can use these approaches to support selection processes or to assess the quality of their own information systems. Citation: Hoerbst A, Ammenwerth E.

El avance de las tecnologías de la información ha permitido un cambio sustancial en el desarrollo de la Salud, por lo que el uso de estándares de telemedicina como el HL7 y CEN TC 251-13606 permiten que los sistemas de información médica se comuniquen vía mensajes estandarizados facilitando el uso de los mismos. El propósito de este estudio es crear una guía metodológica de intercambio electrónico de información clínica basada en el análisis de los estándares de telemedicina HL7 y CEN TC 251- 13606 para mejorar la eficiencia de la gestión de Historias Clínicas de los pacientes. La metodología consta de 2 fases, la primera plantea el diseño e implementación del modelo de referencia de la Historia Clínica Electrónica, el mismo que define entidades necesarias en la construcción de una Historia Clínica Electrónica, en la fase 2 se define la arquitectura de la historia clínica especificando la estructura y semántica del documento mediante el lenguaje XML, el cual se utiliza en los procesos de gestión de las historias clínicas electrónicas dentro del sistema médico desarrollado. Este sistema permite control clínico a distancia facilitando la interacción médico-paciente. El sistema posee una aplicación web, una aplicación de escritorio y una plataforma hardware e- Salud. La aplicación de la metodología planteada mejora la eficiencia de la gestión de historias clínicas, puesto que el 83.32% de los médicos de la clínica consideran que se agiliza el proceso de acceso, creación e ingreso de historias clínicas y reduce recursos en el proceso de control de pacientes domiciliarios. The advance of Information and Communication Technologies has improved Health Care in last years; by providing new ways of accessing medical information. In particular, the use of telemedicine standards such as HL7 and CENTC 251-13606 allows standard communication, integration, and retrieval of electronic health records among medical systems. This article aims to create a methodological guide for the electronic exchange of clinical information based on telemedicine standards in order to improve the efficiency of electronic health records management. The proposed methodology consists of two phases: The first one states the design and implementation of the reference model of an electronic health records, which defines entities of the electronic health record. In phase 2, this methodology describes electronic health records architecture. The architecture is defined by the structure and semantics of the document using XML. In order to test the proposed methodology, a medical system was implemented that consists of a web application, desktop application, and hardware platform e- Health. This system allows the electronic exchange of clinical information to ease patient-doctor interaction. The results show 83,32% of doctors at the clinic where the system was tested agree the proposed methodology for electronic exchange improves the efficiency of electronic health records management since it speeds up the process of creation and retrieval of an electronic health records. Moreover, the system reduces resources in the control of home patients. Palabras clave: Telemedicina, HCE, HL7, CENTC 251-13606, e-Salud.

Abstract Background: This paper reports on a qualitative evaluation of a hybrid II stepped-wedge trial using implementation facilitation to implement team-based care in the form of the Collaborative Chronic Care Model (CCM) in interdisciplinary outpatient mental health teams. The objective of this study was to compare the alignment of sites’ clinical processes with the CCM elements at baseline (Time 1) and after 12 months of implementation facilitation (Time 2) from the perspective of providers.Methods: We conducted semi-structured interviews to assess the extent to which six CCM elements were in place: work role redesign, patient self-management support, provider decision support, clinical information systems, linkages to community resources, and organizational/leadership support. Interviews were transcribed and a priori CCM elements were coded using a directed content analysis approach at Time 1 and 2. We sought consensus on, and compared, the extent to which each CCM element was in place at Times 1 and 2.Results: We conducted 27 and 31 telephone interviews at Times 1 and 2, respectively, with outpatient mental health providers at nine participating sites. At Time 1 and Time 2, three CCM elements were most frequently present across the sites: work role redesign, patient self-management support, and provider decision support. The CCM elements with increased implementation from Time 1 to Time 2 were: work role redesign, patient self-management support, and clinical information systems. For two CCM elements, linkages to community resources and organizational/leadership support, some sites had increased implementation at Time 2 compared to Time 1, while others had reductions.Conclusions: Sites increased the extent of implementation on several CCM elements. The most progress was made in the CCM elements where sites had CCM-aligned processes already in place at Time 1. Teams made progress on elements they could more easily control, such as work role redesign. Our results suggest that maximizing the benefits of CCM-based outpatient mental health care may require targeting resources and training toward specific CCM elements—especially in the use of clinical information systems and linking with community resources.
