Experiences with DHE: an order entry and result reporting case study.

Organization of hospital information systems that are currently in use is characterized by a multitude of simple, unfortunately less integrated components. For the integration of the already available as well as new components into a hospital information system, the "Committee European de Normalisation" (CEN) proposed a basic "Conceptual Architectural Framework". Based on the CEN proposal, in this paper we present first results of a case study in order to investigate the usability of the Distributed Healthcare Environment (DHE), as a standard architecture for hospital information systems. Another aim of this case study was to design an Order Entry and Result Reporting System and implement it by using DHE.

[Model for a computer-assisted quality assurance system in burn intensive care].

The prerequisites for an integrated quality management system for hospitals were developed as a result of considerations regarding the necessity of an appropriate quality-assurance system for the intensive care sector. The basis for a dynamic quality-assurance system on the documentational level is a comprehensive data base containing patient files unlimited in terms of time and data technology. The necessary hardware and software structure will be provided by consistent application of a client-server architecture. Permanent surveillance of existing quality objectives within the scope of an economic close-loop system requires a system with flexible query mechanisms. Informational data access from all hierarchical level within the hospital organization is facilitated by the data warehouse concept, a data base system with subject-oriented, integrated, time-variable, and persistent data.
