Introduction
Clinical information system (CIS) is purposely designed to be used in critical care conditions such ICU ( Intensive Care Unit).
In modern hospitals it can network with other computer systems including radiology and pathology.
The information is drawn to the electronic patient record by the systems (Musen, Middleton & Greenes, 2014).
Communication has been improved by the use of CIS because health professionals are able to share information.
Health Information and Management System Society (HIMSS) is selected organization for CIS use.
Clinical Information system is important in enhancing service delivery to the patient especially those in critical conditions and those who needed more attention.
Electronic patient record records make it easy to access information of the patients and communication enhance sharing of information.
2
Role of CIS
CIS helps in improving the quality of services provided to patient who are in critical condition
Facilitates sharing of information and communication concerning specific patient (Wager, Lee & Glaser, 2017).
Enables the faster decision making by the physicians or clinicians during the encounter with patient in critical condition.
The X-rays for the patient can be taken and scanned when in need.
CIS plays important roles in the healthcare facilities.
it improves service quality provided to the patients, sharing of information and enables decision making process to be done within a short time because all the information needed can be easily accessed.
3
Role of CIS
Help the healthcare to achieve equity and patients are provided with better care.
It allows analysis of the information by the health agencies or healthcare practitioners.
Clinical information system assist recording of the data of the patient.
Eliminates errors which would have occurred when entering data manually.
It also becomes easy to analyze health information by the health agencies including government or donors who need to provide some assistance to the healthcare.
Recording of data by the patients become easy because there is no manual entering of the data hence eliminating errors.
4
Impacts of CIS
Increases access to medical information because of good maintenance of the records form of the patient.
The authorized users would be able to receive the immediately as there is no time wasting in files transfer (Boulware et al, 2016).
It also make it easy for the clinicians to address emergence admission or unscheduled visit.
It also minimizes overload of the information and promote a better care of the patient.
Keeping of the records form of the patient become easy since all the information can be accessed in the portal.
Transfer of information is only through the authorized users hence maintaining the confidentiality of the patient’s data.
It becomes easy for the healthcare to do admission for emergences and attend to the unscheduled visits.
5
Impact of CIS
CIS reduces errors which could occur during transfer of the data manually.
Errors in the information of the patient can lead to poor decision and wrong diagnosis.
CIS minimizes the costs of labor in the healthcare systems because only one person per computer is needed.
It facilitates better research in the healthcare since data can be easily shared.
One of the challenge of the manual data entry in the healthcare is errors therefore, CIS eliminates these errors since most of the information is automated.
Errors have been the cause of the poor decision making made by the clinicians on certain diagnosis and medication to the patients.
Cost of the labor is reduced especially on hiring the secretaries who would be entering the data and keeping of the files.
Only one person per computer is needed hence less costs.
6
Legal and regulatory requirements
strategies to ensure Privacy and security of the data of the patients.
Protection of the patients rights and confidential information in case there is data breaches from the organization.
compliance with confidentiality and privacy of the patients in all situations (Levesque et al, 2015).
Functionality of the system and how it would be beneficial to the organizations and society in general.
There are legal and regulations which must be complied with before implementation of the CIS, these include
Strategies which would be used in ensuring security of the data and privacy.
Compliance with confidentiality and privacy of the patients which is shown in the healthcare ethics.
Functionality of the CIS has to be proved and how it would benefit the community where it is used.
7
Legal and regulatory requirements
Creation of one login that is integrated and allows sharing of information to other system.
The system should have a long term benefits which are clearly indicated in details.
Indicating the relationship between clinical information systems and the goals of the organizations.
Complying with requirements of the meaningful-use which enables the organization to receive incentives for electronic medical used.
There is also compliance of the meaningful use of the CIS and how it would be more efficient as compare to the previous system which was operating.
There should be existence of one log in which would be controlling the other computer systems in the healthcare.
All goals must also be clearly indicated and illustrate how they match with the organizational goals.
8
Value summaries of Clinical information system
The quality services to the patient because of the faster sharing of information (Nguyen,Bellucci & Nguyen, 2014).
The outcomes of CIS are associated to proper diagnosis of the diseases leading to right medication and treatment.
The transfer of the data is safe because it is shared to the authorized individuals more so the clinicians.
Effective treatment and medication leads to patient recovery.
Values which the CIS must for it to be implemented are;
Ability to provide quality services to the patient and enhance faster communication for the sharing of the information.
It leads to reliable results due to error elimination
There is also effective treatment and medication because the results generated are reliable.
9
Value summaries of Clinical information system
Generally, the productivity of the organizations increased because faster service delivery.
It promotes the performance of the physicians before they do not wait for data to be recorded manually.
The cost also reduces because the number of the workers needed to record the data reduces.
It also improves the efficiency in terms of timely planning and effective decision making.
In terms of productivity , it is increased because of the improved services of the clinicians and faster delivery.
Effective decision making and timely planning of the activities improves the efficiency.
Cost reduction due to reducing the labor especially on the maintenance of the files
10
Cont”
The services provided by the organization improves more so the patient in critical conditions.
The patients who are the customer also get satisfied with the services hence establishing good customer relationship.
Proper treatment and medication also saves the cost of the patient of moving from one hospital to another.
Good services in the healthcare organization promotes the well-being of the people.
Generally, there is improvement of the services especially to patients who need emergence services.
The level of satisfaction increases and the probability of the patient becoming regular customer to the organization is high because of quality services
Cost is saved when the patients they are provided with effective treatment and medication because they will recover and no need to seek furhter treatment.
11
Summary of specific attributes
The functionality of the clinical information system has the following attributes.
Accuracy of the data due reduced errors in data entry.
Suitability for use in the emergence so as to provided faster attending of the patients.
