Current Status of a Medical Information System

A pilot medical information system is being implemented and currently is providing services for limited categories of patient data. In one year, physicians’ diagnoses for 500,000 office visits, 300,000 drug prescriptions for outpatients, one million clinical laboratory tests, and 60,000 multiphasic screening examinations are being stored in and retrieved from integrated, direct access, patient computer medical records.This medical information system is a part of a long-term research and development program. Its major objective is the development of a multifacility computer-based system which will support eventually the medical data requirements of a population of one million persons and one thousand physicians. The strategy employed provides for modular development. The central system, the computer-stored medical records which are therein maintained, and a satellite pilot medical data system in one medical facility are described.

The Ideal

This article will present the architecture of the medical information system (MIS) developed in Georgia and its application for image-based second opinion consultations. The primary goal of the MIS is patient management. However, the system can be successfully applied for image based second opinion consultations. Five hundred Georgian language electronic medical records from the cervical screening activity illustrated by images were selected for second opinion consultations. It has been shown, that the MIS is perspective and actual technology solution. It can be successfully and effectively used for image based second opinion consultations. The ideal of healthcare in the information age must be to create a situation where healthcare professionals spend more time creating knowledge from medical information and less time managing this information. The application of available and adaptable technology and improvement of the infrastructure conditions is the basis for eHealth applications.

Right To Information

The patient’s right to access to electronic medical recordsThe article is devoted to the issue of electronic medical records as a progressive instrument of implementation the patient’s right to information. Reason for such analysis is an obligation of archiving medical records only in electronic form in force since 1 January 2018 as well as possibility to share documentation in the Polish Medical Information System planned from 1 August 2017. Therefore there is a fundamental change in the form in which the patient will obtain access to the records and perform his information rights.In following considerations, the author will peform evaluation of expected law modifications, starting with explanation of the term „electronic medical records” and marking the historical background of development in this range. In the further part, will be presented the advantages of processing electronic.

Integrated Medical Information System

With the development of the internet, applications have become complicated, and the relevant technology has diversified. Compared with medical applications, the significance of information technology has been expanding to include clinical auxiliary functions of medical information. This includes electronic medical records, electronic prescriptions, medical information systems, etc. Although research on the data processing structure and format of various related systems is becoming mature, the integration is insufficient. An integrated medical information system with security policy and privacy protection, which combines e-patient records, e-prescriptions, modified smart cards, and fingerprint identification systems, and applies proxy signature and group signature, is proposed in this study. This system effectively applies and saves medical resources—satisfying the mobility of medical records, presenting the function, and security of medicine collection, and avoiding medical conflicts and profiteering to further acquire the maximum effectiveness with the least resources. In this way, this medical information system may be developed into a comprehensive function that eliminates the transmission of manual documents and maintains the safety of patient medical information. It can improve the quality of medical care and indispensable infrastructure for medical management.

Rome Criteria

In order to validate the Stockholm County Medical Information System with regard to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) we have studied the medical records of 276 cases coded as RA in the medical information system. We searched information on the criteria for RA from (1961) and New York (1966). 18% of the medical records lacked information to the extent that an assessment of the number of criteria fulfilled was not possible. 9% fulfilled only one New York criterion and 7% fewer than three Rome criteria. 47% fulfilled four New York criteria and 35% at least seven Rome criteria. The most complete information on criteria was found in medical records from departments of rheumatology and these had also the highest degree of criteria fulfilment. A comparison is also presented between this sample of cases and a sample of RA persons selected from the general population with regard to fulfilment of criteria.
