Implementation of an Emergency Medical Card and a Continuity of Care.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: The CCR standard can be used to implement an application to enable patients to not only view but add or modify personal health records, and create, print and share paper EMC and CoC report with HCPs. The documents can be created using HCP-maintained EMR data, in addition to patient-entered data as is currently the norm.

Health Care Procedures.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: CCAM appeared as the more elaborate and mature system whereas ICHI had some drawback regarding ambiguity and varying granularity. It is recommended to improve the structure of ICHI by the beneficial aspects of the CCAM and to avoid semantic ambiguities by applying ontological principles and logic-based representation languages.

The Rate of Missed Test Results in an Emergency Department.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: Our rates of missed test results are lower than those reported from studies where paper ordering and reporting systems were used. This suggests that the availability of CPOE systems may reduce the risk of these events. Electronic result delivery, with electronic endorsement to allow documentation of follow-up of test results, may provide additional efficiency benefits and further reduce the risk of test results which are not followed up.

CONCLUSION: A comprehensive list of principles relevant for properly describing Health Informatics evaluations has been developed. When manuscripts submitted to Health Informatics journals and general medical journals adhere to these aspects, readers will be better positioned to place the studies in a proper context and judge their validity and generalisability. STARE-HI may also be used for study planning and hence positively influence the quality of evaluation studies in Health Informatics. We believe that better publication of (both quantitative and qualitative) evaluation studies is an important step toward the vision ...
