Description |
The Biomedical Informatics Laboratoty of the
Institute of Computer Science of FORTH has
developed new, innovative service platforms for
automatic, context sensitive offering and contracting
of electronic and mobile health across heterogeneous
networks, focusing on a patient-centered,
clinically driven health system.
The Integrated Care Solutions software (ICS) is an open, scalable and evolvable architecture conforming to the requirements for interoperability of systems and services as well as the use of standards. It is a software system with flexible integration of distributed information and knowledge, focusing on the timely and effective delivery of appropriate information to all authorized users, built upon an underlined Healthcare Information Infrastructure. It follows high quality international trends regarding both the structure of the Electronic Health Record (EHR), as well as integration with third party systems. ICS through its various tools and applications contributes immensely to clinical decision support for disease management and treatment planning. More specifically: The ICS Hospital Information System automates
the patient management process from admission
to discharge (and billing), including all medical
information required, leading to improved efficiency
and communication throughout the hospital.
Patient data (administrative and medical) is
streamlined, virtual and paperless, so that it is
accessible at the point of need but only by authorized
personnel according to each user's operational
area, role and responsibilities. At the same
time Ward and Department management is made
easy through statistics, reports, views etc.
The Primary Health Care Information System
facilitates the patient management process in the
context of a primary health care provider setting,
including administrative and medical data as well
as primary care management. The EHR is based
upon internationally accepted models for primary
care, and both a visit-oriented and a problem-oriented
views are supported, together with process
automation. It supports policy development as far
as population health is considered together with
strategy development in the area of primary health
care, in regard with the conduction of medical
research, exporting of epidemiologic information
and evaluation of services offered. This system is
implemented and in use in Greece since 1998.
The ICS Emergency Care is a unique tool for
prompt and accurate management of an emergency
incident. The coordination centre and the
ambulance service can prioritize and manage the
available resources in the best possible way. In the
ambulance patient telemonitoring (by transmitting
vital signs through telematics) from the incident
site is available, while proper arrangements can
take place at the host health center, thus saving
lives in emergency incidents where every second
counts. This system is implemented and in use in
Greece since 1998.
