A computerized information management system for educational programs in the health sciences.

The Physician Assistant Program at the University of Florida has developed and implemented a computerized information management system that eliminates time-consuming duplication of effort in record-keeping and covers all functional components of the educational program. Data-base files for admissions, curriculum and/or evaluation design, student records, graduate follow-up, and research activities and a master file for administrative activities permit rapid accessing and transfer of information across files, continual updating of information, and efficient generating of records and reports pertaining to all program functions. Research about the program is enhanced through the correlation of data available in the five data-base files. This comprehensive system facilitates the audit of the program's educational process and the evaluation of its accomplishment of its stated objectives. The system can be easily adapted for use by other educational programs in medicine and the allied health sciences.

Strategic planning for health care management information systems.

Using a planning methodology and a structured design technique for analyzing data and data flow, information requirements can be derived to produce a strategic plan for a management information system. Such a long-range plan classifies information groups and assigns them priorities according to the goals of the organization. The approach emphasizes user involvement.

Design considerations of CareWindows, a Windows 3.0-based graphical front end to a Medical Information Management System using a pass-through-requester architecture.

The Care Windows development project demonstrated the feasibility of an approach designed to add the benefits of an event-driven, graphically-oriented user interface to an existing Medical Information Management System (MIMS) without overstepping economic and logistic constraints. The design solution selected for the Care Windows project incorporates three important design features: (1) the effective de-coupling of severs from requesters, permitting the use of an extensive pre-existing library of MIMS servers, (2) the off-loading of program control functions of the requesters to the workstation processor, reducing the load per transaction on central resources and permitting the use of object-oriented development environments available for microcomputers, (3) the selection of a low end, GUI-capable workstation consisting of a PC-compatible personal computer running Microsoft Windows 3.0, and (4) the development of a highly layered, modular workstation application, permitting the development of interchangeable modules to insure portability and adaptability.

Nuclear medicine information management systems.

There are good arguments for considering a computer system to improve timeliness and quality of patient care, enhance the format of clinical reports, and strengthen management controls for the containment of health care costs. A nuclear medicine information management system serves to fill these needs. Receptionists access the system to schedule patient studies, log patient data, and generate examination records. Secretaries transcribe and print clinical reports. Film library staff locate patient films and keep track of borrowed studies. Technologists produce study work sheets, record quality assurance information, and process the examination results. Staff preparing radiopharmaceuticals use the system to receive and inventory tracer stocks, track preparation and dispensing activities, and to keep records for external review. Clinicians use it to look up old study results and record their study impressions. Managers access statistical reports, billing information, and resource utilization data. This review describes an information management system as implemented in a nuclear medicine clinic. Software applications for patient scheduling, radiopharmacy, film management, report generation, quality assurance, and inventory control are described as implemented on a variety of academic and commercial systems. Hardware architectures and the issues surrounding system specification and installation are explored.

Tying it all together: The Integrated Academic Information Management System being implemented at Maryland.

With the National Library of Medicine serving as the catalyst, the University of Maryland at Baltimore, Campus for the Professions, entered into a major initiative to integrate information management systems in support of the campus missions of education, research, and clinical care. Strategic planning initiated the integration process and continues in an iterative mode. In support of integration, changes were made in the campus organizational structure and in its technological infrastructure. Implementation involves transforming the Information Resources Management Division into an information utility on a phased and incremental basis. Collaboration with the Health Sciences Library is key to this transformation, as are numerous outreach activities.

A computer-assisted management information system for nutrition services.

A computer-assisted management information system was created to facilitate effective management of clinical nutrition services and labor resources in a 330-bed teaching and research hospital. Standards were developed for the quality and quantity of nutrition care, time required to provide nutrition care, and utilization of dietitians' time. Computer software was developed to report the volume of services provided, the need for services, and the utilization of labor hours. Data were evaluated to determine whether services were consistent with standards and to calculate a recommended number of clinical dietitian full-time equivalents for the hospital. Furthermore, the management information system was instrumental in developing a fee-for-service structure, for evenly distributing work loads among dietitians, and for monitoring adherence to standards of care.

FP/MIS: a management information system for a community family planning clinic.

The management information system (FP/MIS) used by the Howard University Center for Family Planning Services, which operates community family planning clinics in Washington, D.C. is described. The system was developed to satisfy program objectives in patient management, program planning and evaluation, resource management, federal reporting systems and clinical, epidemiological and health services research. The data collection forms used in the system and the output from the four data display groups--patient profile, resource management, quality of care and epidemiology-are described along with examples of their use.
