RESUMO

Digital Health is one of the three pillars for the effective implementation of Universal Health Coverage in Argentina. The Ministry of Health published the National Digital Health Strategy 2018-2024 in order to establish the conceptual guidelines for the design and development of interoperable health information systems as a state policy. The World Health Organization "National eHealth Strategy Toolkit", "Global Strategy on Digital Health" and other international and local evidence and expert recommendations were taken into account. The path to better healthcare involves adopting systems at the point of care, allowing for the primary recording of information and enabling information exchange through real interoperability. In that way, people, technology and processes will synergize to enhance integrated health service networks. In this paper, we describe the plan and the first two years of implementation of the strategy.

RESUMO

The Ministry of Health (MoH) stated the National Digital Health Strategy 2018-2024 in order to establish the conceptual guidelines for the design and development of interoperable health information systems. It included the creation of a National Digital Health Network, and a Citizen Health Portal to inform and empower patients about their rights. For instance, the Digital Vaccination Card is already available and has equal legal validity as its paper version. The platform also works as a personal privacy manager, to configure the consent for Health Information Exchange through the network, or to check the access logs. This paper outlines the implementation experience of this powerful tool at a national level.

RESUMO

This paper presents the extract-transform-and-load (ETL) process from the Electronic Patient Records (ePR) at the Heart Institute (InCor) to the OMOP Common Data Model (CDM) format. We describe the initial database characterization, relational source mappings, selection filters, data transformations and patient de-identification using the open-source OHDSI tools and SQL scripts. We evaluate the resulting InCor-CDM database by recreating the same patient cohort from a previous reference study (over the original data source) and comparing the cohorts' descriptive statistics and inclusion reports. The results exhibit that up to 91% of the reference patients were retrieved by our method from the ePR through InCor-CDM, with AUC=0.938. The results indicate that the method that we employed was able to produce a new database that was both consistent with the original data and in accordance to the OMOP CDM standard.

RESUMO

Health information exchange (HIE) is implemented in Quebec, Canada to improve the exchange and use of clinical information for decision making in the province's health care system. The objective of this mixed-method approach study was to evaluate the usage, usability, and usefulness of an electronic health record (EHR) to access and import clinical information from a centralized HIE. First, a heuristic analysis was performed of three different commercial EHRs, using end users to analyze the integration feature through think aloud protocols. Second, interviews were conducted with advanced users to describe the usefulness. Third, usage data were analyzed to describe the level of use of each data domain, per EHR and user. The results show that usefulness is high for medication data; leading to greater use of this domain, its relation to integration, and meets the needs of general practitioners. Difficulties in the implementation processes reduced the potential of this system.

RESUMO

Objetivo: Analisar a literatura científica a respeito da comunicação por meios eletrônicos entre profissionais de saúde. Método: Revisão integrativa da literatura, realizada nas bases de dados e/ou portais PubMed, Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde e Cochrane, até agosto de 2018, com descritores combinados, que respondem à pergunta norteadora: "Como ocorre a comunicação eletrônica entre os profissionais de saúde na assistência ao paciente? ”. Resultados: Seis artigos foram incluídos, publicados de 2011 a 2016, no idioma Inglês. Os recursos foram smartphone, pager e tablet. Os aplicativos utilizados foram WhatsApp, Medigram e Serviço de Mensagens Curtas (SMS). Agilidade, facilidade de uso e auxílio na tomada de decisão foram as vantagens encontradas no uso desse recurso na comunicação dos profissionais; dentre as desvantagens estão ausência de privacidade e de confidencialidade das informações, interrupções na assistência e inabilidade no uso do recurso tecnológico. Conclusão: O uso de aplicativos para troca de mensagens e comunicação interdisciplinar de fato proporciona agilidade na comunicação, mas a confidencialidade desses dados ainda é uma questão a ser tratada. Assim, cabe ao enfermeiro conduzir a comunicação com os demais profissionais, preservando a privacidade do paciente.

Purpose: To analyze scientific literature regarding the communication via electronic means between health professionals. Method: Integrative revision of the literature carried through databases and/or portals PubMed, Virtual Health Library and Cochrane, until August 2018, with combined describers, who answer to the leading question: "How does the electronic communication between health professionals in patient assistance occur?". Results: Six articles were included, published from 2011 to 2016 in the English language. Features were smartphone, pager and tablet. The applications used were WhatsApp, Medigram and Short Message Service (SMS). Agility, ease of use and support in decision-making were the advantages found in the use of this resource in the communication of professionals; among the disadvantages are lack of privacy and confidentiality of information, interruptions in assistance and inability to use the technological resource. Conclusion: The use of applications for messaging and interdisciplinary communication does indeed provide agility in communication, but the confidentiality of such data is still an issue to be addressed.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT As part of the integrated curriculum, the Elective Educational Unity (EEU) is a tool to support knowledge construction and student autonomy during undergraduate training. The international exchange for undergraduates therefore aims to explore potentialities and challenges within a pedagogical perspective through the experience and understanding ofdiverse educational institutions and health services, through prolonged contact with other professionals and students. One constructive strategy of an elective internship is in conjunction with student associations. This report intends to contribute to medical education by reflecting on how the international elective internship impacts on medical training, analysing its potentialities and challenges. The reportaddresses the steps in accomplishing the exchange, presenting the activities developed in the experience, highlightingthe observed objectives and results, along with reflections on the experience. It is ascertained that the international exchange stimulates the experience, recognition and understanding of other cultures; it helps students build autonomy and stimulates a critical reflexive view which promotes knowledge construction, raising the student's awareness of his own social responsibility as a health professional. Therefore, the Elective Educational Unit encourages the student to elect the exchange as a curricular activity, it supports him on choosing a study area and international or national institution of interest, with the option to liaise with other organizations, for example the student organization. Unquestionably, personal growth is one of the consequences through learning about diversecultures and making new friendships and partnerships between different countries. However, there are challenges, such as adaptation to another cultural context, affective detachment and the understanding that different places have distinct historical, social, economic contexts from one another. Thus, advances and changes are proposed to improve the Elective Educational Unit, stimulating greater student participation in international experiences during undergraduate training, as well as underlining the importance of the supervisor's role in the elective planning process.

RESUMO No currículo integrado, instituiu-se a Unidade Educacional Eletiva (UEE) como uma ferramenta de construção de conhecimento e incentivo da autonomia dos acadêmicos no processo de formação médica. Nesse sentido, o intercâmbio internacional na graduação busca explorar potencialidades e desafios dentro de uma perspectiva pedagógica, por meio da vivência e compreensão das múltiplas formas de organização de outras instituições de ensino e serviços de saúde, pelo convívio com outros profissionais e estudantes.Uma das estratégias de construção do estágio eletivo pode ser em conjunto com associações estudantis. Este relatopretende contribuir, assim, para a formação em Medicina a partir da reflexão sobre como essa internacionalização do estágio eletivo interfere na formação médica, analisando suas potencialidades e desafios. Aborda os passos para a realização do intercâmbio, apresenta as atividades desenvolvidas nessa vivência, destaca finalidades e resultados observados, comreflexões sobre a vivência. Verifica-se que o intercâmbio internacional estimula a vivência, o reconhecimento e a compreensão das culturas; contribui para o estudante construir sua autonomia e estimula a visão crítico-reflexiva, que impacta a construção de conhecimento, tornando-o ciente de sua responsabilidade social como profissional de saúde. Em vista disso, a UEE tem incentivado o estudante a eleger o intercâmbio como uma atividade curricular, apoiando-o na escolha da área de estudo e instituição nacional ou internacional de seu interesse, podendo articular-se com outras organizações, dentre essas a estudantil. Positivamente tem-se o crescimento pessoal pela compreensão de diferentes culturas, novas amizades e parceria entre diferentes países, mas também há desafios, como a adaptação em outro contexto cultural, o distanciamento afetivo e a compreensão de que diferentes locais têm contextos históricos, sociais e econômicos distintos uns dos outros. Com efeito, pontuam-se avanços e mudanças interessantes para o aprimoramento da UEE, estimulando os estudantes a participarem mais da internacionalização durante a graduação, bem como salientando o papel do orientador no processo do planejamento do eletivo.

RESUMO

Objective: To apprehend the health team's perception of communication barriers and to identify factors that contribute to or interfere with health team communication. Method: Qualitative research with 12 health and administrative professionals, members of a health team at a large pediatric hospital in Curitiba, PR. The data were collected through a semi-structured and recorded interview. For the analysis of the data the analysis of content proposed by Minayo was used. Results: The professionals had knowledge about the concept of communication, about the meaning of communication barriers and the possible consequences. Communication barriers include lack of communication, interruption of communication before the message reaches the destination, lack of interest of the receiver, overload of work and information, non-adequacy of language and technical problems with the medium used. Conclusion: Good communication is needed to ensure that environmental adversities do not interfere with care, so understanding the elements that permeate the development of effective communication is of paramount importance.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The electronic exchange of health-related data can support different professionals and services to act in a more coordinated and transparent manner and make the management of health service networks more efficient. Although mental health care is one of the areas that can benefit from a secure health information exchange (HIE), as it usually involves long-term and multiprofessional care, there are few published studies on this topic, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to design, implement, and evaluate an electronic health (eHealth) platform that allows the technical and informational support of a Brazilian regional network of mental health care. This solution was to enable HIE, improve data quality, and identify and monitor patients over time and in different services. METHODS: The proposed platform is based on client-server architecture to be deployed on the Web following a Web services communication model. The interoperability information model was based on international and Brazilian health standards. To test platform usage, we have utilized the case of the mental health care network of the XIII Regional Health Department of the São Paulo state, Brazil. Data were extracted from 5 different sources, involving 26 municipalities, and included national demographic data, data from primary health care, data from requests for psychiatric hospitalizations performed by community services, and data obtained from 2 psychiatric hospitals about hospitalizations. Data quality metrics such as accuracy and completeness were evaluated to test the proposed solution. RESULTS: The eHealth-Interop integration platform was designed, developed, and tested. It contains a built-in terminology server and a record linkage module to support patients' identification and deduplication. The proposed interoperability environment was able to integrate information in the mental health care network case with the support of 5 international and national terminologies. In total, 27,353 records containing demographic and clinical data were integrated into eHealth-Interop. Of these records, 34.91% (9548/27,353) were identified as patients who were present in more than 1 data source with different levels of accuracy and completeness. The data quality analysis was performed on 26 demographic attributes for each integrable patient record, totaling 248,248 comparisons. In general, it was possible to achieve an improvement of 18.40% (45,678/248,248) in completeness and 1.10% (2731/248,248) in syntactic accuracy over the test dataset after integration and deduplication. CONCLUSIONS: The proposed platform established an eHealth solution to fill the gap in the availability and quality of information within a network of health services to improve the continuity of care and the health services management. It has been successfully applied in the context of mental health care and is flexible to be tested in other areas of care.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Electronic health (eHealth) interventions may improve the quality of care by providing timely, accessible information about one patient or an entire population. Electronic patient care information forms the nucleus of computerized health information systems. However, interoperability among systems depends on the adoption of information standards. Additionally, investing in technology systems requires cost-effectiveness studies to ensure the sustainability of processes for stakeholders. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to assess cost-effectiveness of the use of electronically available inpatient data systems, health information exchange, or standards to support interoperability among systems. METHODS: An overview of systematic reviews was conducted, assessing the MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, LILACS, and IEEE Library databases to identify relevant studies published through February 2016. The search was supplemented by citations from the selected papers. The primary outcome sought the cost-effectiveness, and the secondary outcome was the impact on quality of care. Independent reviewers selected studies, and disagreement was resolved by consensus. The quality of the included studies was evaluated using a measurement tool to assess systematic reviews (AMSTAR). RESULTS: The primary search identified 286 papers, and two papers were manually included. A total of 211 were systematic reviews. From the 20 studies that were selected after screening the title and abstract, 14 were deemed ineligible, and six met the inclusion criteria. The interventions did not show a measurable effect on cost-effectiveness. Despite the limited number of studies, the heterogeneity of electronic systems reported, and the types of intervention in hospital routines, it was possible to identify some preliminary benefits in quality of care. Hospital information systems, along with information sharing, had the potential to improve clinical practice by reducing staff errors or incidents, improving automated harm detection, monitoring infections more effectively, and enhancing the continuity of care during physician handoffs. CONCLUSIONS: This review identified some benefits in the quality of care but did not provide evidence that the implementation of eHealth interventions had a measurable impact on cost-effectiveness in hospital settings. However, further evidence is needed to infer the impact of standards adoption or interoperability in cost benefits of health care; this in turn requires further research.

RESUMO

Este artigo constitui um relato de experiência, o qual aborda e problematiza o registro de informações nos prontuários coletivos em equipes de Saúde da Família pelos profissionais de Psicologia vinculados a um Programa de Residência Multiprofissional. O Conselho Federal de Psicologia destaca que o psicólogo, em serviço multiprofissional, deve fazer uso do prontuário único, registrando apenas as informações necessárias aos objetivos do trabalho. Essa questão é complexa uma vez que envolve aspectos éticos e de sigilo profissional. Entretanto, entende-se que tal temática precisa ser discutida pelos profissionais de Psicologia e no cotidiano das equipes, para qualificar o cuidado em saúde.

This study is an experience report that approaches and problematizes the act of recording information on collective charts in the context of Family Health teams carried out by Psychology professionals of a Multiprofessional Residency Program. The Federal Council of Psychology highlights the psychologist that works in a public service should register the information on the chart that the other professionals have access to, recording only information related to the aim of his task. This is a complex subject, once it involves ethical and professional secrecy aspects. Such aspects must be discussed by Psychology professionals in the context of health teams, so as to improve health care.

RESUMO

Despite the increasing adhesion of electronic health records, the challenge of semantic interoperability remains unsolved. The fact that different parties can exchange messages does not mean they can understand the underlying clinical meaning, therefore, it cannot be assumed or treated as a requirement. This work introduces an architecture designed to achieve semantic interoperability, in a way which organizations that follow different policies may still share medical information through a common infrastructure comparable to an ecosystem, whose organisms are exemplified within the Brazilian scenario. Nonetheless, the proposed approach describes a service-oriented design with modules adaptable to different contexts. We also discuss the establishment of an enterprise service bus to mediate a health infrastructure defined on top of international standards, such as openEHR and IHE. Moreover, we argue that, in order to achieve truly semantic interoperability in a wide sense, a proper profile must be published and maintained.

RESUMO

Las terapias alternativas son cada vez más utilizadas en la atención en salud. Actualmente la mayoría de las entidades de salud que prestan dichos servicios realizan el registro de estas intervenciones terapéuticas de forma manual, lo cual produce inconvenientes como: posible pérdida de información, falta de control y seguimiento del paciente, falta de interacción e interoperabilidad con la historia clínica convencional, e imposibilidad de desarrollar estudios estadísticos con información proveniente de dichos registros. El presente artículo presenta un sistema de gestión de información para una historia clínica electrónica en terapias alternativas, basado en un modelo conceptual, y un modelo de interoperabilidad basado en el estándar Health Level 7 (HL7). Para el diseño del modelo conceptual, además de la revisión bibliográfica, se desarrolló una investigación de tipo mixto, con un diseño observacional descriptivo mediante una muestra a conveniencia, conformada por siete docentes y once expertos en terapias alternativas. Se indagó acerca de las características de los instrumentos y herramientas utilizados por los expertos para la gestión de la información. Una vez finalizada la propuesta del modelo, esta fue validada por los expertos. Para el modelo de interoperabilidad se consideraron los aspectos técnicos y sintácticos al diseñar una arquitectura de servicios para el envío y recepción de mensajes. En cuanto a la interoperabilidad sintáctica, se diseñó una estructura de mensaje según HL7 con información de pacientes.

The use of alternative therapies is on the increase in health care. Most of the health institutions currently rendering such services keep manual records of therapeutic interventions, resulting in inconveniences such as the possible loss of information, lack of patient control and follow-up, lack of interaction and interoperability with conventional medical records, and inability to develop statistical studies based on data from those records. The paper presents an information management system for electronic medical records in alternative therapies based on a conceptual model and an interoperability model based on the Health Level 7 (HL7) standard. For the design of the conceptual model, in addition to the literature review, a mixed research study was conducted with a descriptive observational design using a convenience sample of seven teachers and eleven experts on alternative therapies. Participants were asked about the characteristics of the instruments and tools used by information management experts. A model proposal was developed which was validated by the experts. For the interoperability model account was taken of the technical and syntactic aspects involved in the design of a service architecture for message submission and reception. For syntactic interoperability a message structure was designed based on HL7 and patient information.

As terapias alternativas são cada vez mais utilizadas na atenção em saúde. Actualmente a maioria das entidades de saúde que emprestam ditos serviços realizam o registro destas intervenções terapéuticas de forma manual, o qual produz inconvenientes como: possível perda de informação, falta de controle e acompanhamento do paciente, falta de interacção e interoperabilidade com a história clínica convencional, e impossibilidade de desenvolver estudos estatísticos com informação proveniente de ditos registros. O presente artigo apresenta um sistema de gestão de informação para uma história clínica electrônica em terapias alternativas, baseado num modelo conceitual, e um modelo de interoperabilidade baseado no estándar Health Level 7 (HL7). Para o desenho do modelo conceitual, para além da revisão bibliográfica, desenvolveu-se uma investigação de tipo misto, com um desenho observacional descriptivo mediante uma amostra à conveniência, conformada por sete docentes e onze expertos em terapias alternativas. Indagou-se sobre as características dos instrumentos e ferramentas utilizados pelos expertos para a gestão da informação. Uma vez finda a proposta do modelo, esta foi validada pelos expertos. Para o modelo de interoperabilidade foram considerados os aspectos técnicos e sintáticos ao desenhar uma arquitetura de serviços para o envio e recepção de mensagens. Em relação à interoperabilidade sintática, foi desenhada uma estructura de mensagem segundo HL7 com informação de pacientes.

RESUMO

Objetivo: Investigar as evidências disponíveis na literatura sobre os desafios do OpenEHR para a definição semântica das informações contidas em um registro eletrônico em saúde. Método: Estudo observacional e longitudinal de revisão integrativa. Utilizaram-se as bases de dados IEEEXplore, LILACS, PubMed, SciELO e The ACM Digital Library. Estabeleceram-se como descritores: Registro Eletrônico em Saúde, Interoperabilidade Semântica, Experiência e Desafios com o OpenEHR. Resultados: Foram selecionados dez artigos. Identificaram-se como desafios: definir corretamente os arquétipos (perspectiva técnica e semântica). Isso exige o estabelecimento de uma comunidade de profissionais de saúde aptos a modelarem arquétipos, mantendo o consenso clínico multiprofissional e o nível de granularidade que necessitam. Conclusão: Mesmo com desafios, ainda há um consenso mundial sobre o uso da modelagem em dois níveis para atingir o nível de interoperabilidade ideal e, neste caso, os arquétipos são considerados a base essencial que garantirá o significado preciso da informação que será interoperada.

Objective: To investigate the evidence available in the literature on the challenges of open EHR (Electronic Health Record) for the electronic health record semantic definition. Method: Observational and longitudinal study of integrative review. We used the databases: IEEExplore, LILACS, PubMed, SciELO and The ACM Digital Library. Were established as descriptors: Electronic Registration Health, Semantic Interoperability, Experience and Challenges with the openEHR. Results: We selected ten articles. Were identified as challenges: correctly define the archetypes (technical and semantic perspective). This requires the establishment of a health professional community capable of making archetypes, keeping the multidisciplinary clinical consensus and the level of granularity they need. Conclusion: Despite challenges, there is still a global consensus on the use of modeling on two levels to achieve the optimal level of interoperability and, in this case, the archetypes are considered the essential foundation that will ensure the precise meaning of information to be exchanged.
