CLINICAL INFORMATION SYSTEM
Jamie RenfroBecky SigrestDanielle Russell
Overview of a CIS
Clinical Information Systems (CIS) consists of information technology that is used at the point of patient care. Included in the decision making is electronic medical records, clinical data repositories, clinical care guidelines, medication interactions and others per program(University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey 2009).
Overview of a CIS
There are many components to the repository in a CIS. The patients’ medical history including prior hospitalizations, progress notes, surgical notes, nurses charting, vital signs and lab results. The patients current and past medications are also listed with patient allergies to assist in medication administration. This information is available to help decide the plan of care for patients. Clinical guidelines are also incorporated.
Who picks the CIS?
The entire healthcare team from people involved in direct patient care to the persons controlling the budget and current medical records.
A CIS has to work for the facility it is placed in and has to be changed and improved as the healthcare facility changes.
Hospital management should pick a program based on the financial aspect, how it will improve patient care, how well it will meld into already established systems and how secure it will be for patient privacy.
Many companies provide tech support and follow-up education before during and after CIS implementation Healthland is one company that continuous to provide support to hospital staff during the entire implementation process and beyond(Healthland 2010)
EHR Components
The common denominator of the eight basic components of a successful electronic health record must be :
Patient Safety
(McGonigle, & Mastrian, 2009)
EHR Components
Should include:1. Health Information and Data2. Results Management3. Order Entry Management4. Decision Support5. Electronic Communication and Connectivity6. Patient Support7. Administration8. Reporting and Population Health
Management(McGonigle, & Mastrian, 2009)
EHR Components
Administrative Components:Patient Name, Demographics, Chief
complaint, Patient disposition, etc. The registration portion of an EHR
contains a unique patient identifier, usually consisting of a numeric or alphanumeric sequence ("Mitre center for," 2006)
EHR Components
Lab systems to integrate orders, results from laboratory , schedules, billing, and other administrative information .
EHR Components
Radiology The system should tie together
radiology data (e.g., orders, interpretations, patient identification information) and images. They are usually used in conjunction with picture archiving communications systems. ("Mitre center for," 2006)
Clinical Decision Making
Should Include Accessibility and Use for:
1. Nurses2. Administrative Staff3. Lab Personnel4. Pharmacy5. PhysiciansAll disciplines need to be able to use
and update information.(Farukhi)
Clinical Decision Making
Designed to assist health care professionals in the areas of :
Information Management Access (e.g., reference ranges for lab values ).
Electronic Resources (e.g., bibliographic databases and pharmacy knowledge bases).
Tools for focusing attention to things that might be overlooked (e.g., abnormal labs).
(Bakken, Currie, Lee, Roberts, & Cimino, 2008)
Clinical Decision Making
Tools for Patient Specific Consultation : Custom Tailored Assessments Advice Based on Set of Patient Specific Data Decision Analysis Diagnostic Decision Support Protocol Eligibility Treatment RecommendationsAll should be focused on Evidence Based
Practice (Bakken, Currie, Lee, Roberts, & Cimino, 2008)

Cost Considerations
Implementing a CIS is a very expensive task that grows with the size of the hospital
The following are a few of the main Cost considerations for implementing a CIS: initial programming, initial incorporation into hospital, maintaining, revising, securing, storing, IT personnel needed, additional computers and equipment
Cost Considerations
V. Ciotti (2009) stated that EPIC a very popular CIS is overly expensive. He mentioned there are other providers that are more reasonable .
Analyst S.Gunasekaran(2009) stated that Epic only brings in a fraction of the Billion dollar price tag hospitals advertise.
The processes of picking a CIS is challenging and has many facets.
Cost Considerations
Sanyal (2009) Stated to choose a program within budget that can be upgraded and changed with the changing of the hospital.
The cost for these changes and upgrades including storage and safety need to be considered.
Education
Training should include anyone who has any contact with EMR….which is
everyone!
