Patient Centric

SummaryBackground: The information present in Hospital Information Systems (HIS) is heterogeneous and is used primarily by health practitioners to support and improve patient care. Conducting clinical research, data analyses or knowledge discovery projects using electronic patient data in secondary care centres relies on accurate data collection, which is often an ad-hoc process poorly described in the literature.Objectives: This paper aims at facilitating and expanding on the process of retrieving and collating patient-centric data from multiple HIS for the purpose of creating a research database. The development of a process roadmap for this purpose illustrates and exposes the constraints and drawbacks of undertaking such work in secondary care centres.Methods: A data collection exercise was carried using a combined approach based on segments of well established data mining and knowledge discovery methodologies, previous work on clinical data integration and local expert consultation. A case study on prostate cancer was carried out at an English regional National Health Service (NHS) hospital.Results: The process for data retrieval described in this paper allowed patient-centric data, pertaining to the case study on prostate cancer, to be successfully collected from multiple heterogeneous hospital sources, and collated in a format suitable for further clinical research.Conclusions: The data collection exercise described in this paper exposes the lengthy and difficult journey of retrieving and collating patient-centric, multi-source data from a hospital, which is indeed a non-trivial task, and one which will greatly benefit from further attention from researchers and hospital IT management.

The Subject

This research aimed to find the system features for remote, synchronous, and asynchronous communication and collaboration among the students. The research design was through an exploratory case study. The data collection method was in-depth interview with experienced supervisors and the subject coordinators. The result of the research is the necessary features to be included in the updated version of the information systems. The various coaching and mentoring features can support subject coordinators, supervisors, and students and allow them to complete the subject on time and in accordance with the standards

Qualitative Methodologies

Data collection is a critical aspect of any research. To this point, it is very important that a researcher has a good understanding of why, where and how to collect data. Broadly speaking, there are two main research and data collection approaches; namely, quantitative and qualitative methodologies. These two approaches are used both in academia and professional domains. This study focuses on philosophical assumptions underpinning Information Systems (IS) research. The philosophical assumptions underlying interpretive, case study research tradition and approach implies a subjective epistemology and the ontological belief that reality is socially constructed. The study investigated the challenges of interpretive, case study research strategy and empirical techniques applied in the information systems discipline. This paper focuses on the realistic challenges that researchers face while conducting a qualitative, interpretive, case study, particularly during data collection.

Summary Objectives: The objectives of this research are to examine the current situation of computer-based information support of clinical research in hospitals and to determine the expectations of clinicians toward clinical research support functions of hospital information systems (HISs) in both China and Japan. Methods: 172 clinicians from 42 major hospitals in China (2 groups), and 568 clinicians from 79 university hospitals in Japan (2 groups), were surveyed by postal questionnaire during July and August, 1999. The Kruskal-Wallis test was performed to analyze the differences among the groups. Results: The total response rate was 66.9%. The result shows that 94.8% of the Japanese clinicians, 3.5 times more than those in China, use computers almost every day. High significance was shown for the frequency of non-HIS based information resources used by clinicians between China and Japan (p <0.001), whereas no significance for the frequency of HIS use by clinicians between the China I and Japan I groups (p = 0.725) was found. 33.3% clinicians in China thought they could obtain 30-50% of the necessary patient data for clinical research from the HIS, about 2 times more than in Japan (p = 0.009). Conclusions: Although the degree of computer involvement among clinicians in Japan is much higher than in China, the computer-based hospital information systems have not been developed well for supporting clinical research in both countries. The clinicians expect comprehensive computerized patient records (CPRs) and full use of patient related information in the existing HISs to support their clinical research.

Negative Findings

The purpose of this study is to find out how Accounting Information Systems are applied to UMKM and how to apply Accounting Information Systems that are effective for UMKM. The form of research is a case study research with data collection techniques using observation, interviews and documentation. The results showed that UMKM had not yet implemented an effective and accurate system. The conclusions of this study are: 1. The control applied is still not effective, 2. The existence of negative findings: a. The absence of accurate records, b. Lack of control in the production and warehouse. There are no financial report. The advice given is that UMKM should improve the system that was previously implemented, the owners of UMKM carry out supervision that authorizes the segregation of duties for each employee, in order to avoid fraud.
