To the center area of the integrated approach to patient care

In most countries health services are provided in part:

* In the primary care level, the patient is usually a specialist or general practitioner treatment kuruluşunundan is a health
* By the secondary care level, a specialist doctor to the patient, are usually sent to a hospital consultant
* The patient at home, third party maintenance level (or in a care home) usually work independently or by a nurse in the doctor's team will be treated

In this regard 'old type' big company departments andırır: every one is responsible for their own actions performed, using a unique data system and data integration between the process and is the bottom level.

Usually, a shared record of treatment and is not common. The medical records of doctors holding specialist will not be transferred to the secondary level (even in summary). Most areas of the basic process is still on paper and is written by hand. (For example, between primary and secondary care levels to tryst, prescription preparation, keeping records and clinical evaluation.)

The aim of health institutions (private or public organizations that matter) all integrated in the field of health quality in the patient, the patient care center by providing a high level of patient satisfaction, and to provide an efficient way is to take place. Therefore, the maintenance of an effective cooperation in the areas of health care professionals and must work in an integrated state. Health professionals to achieve this are to prevent:

Between process and system integration * is not
* Public access to patient data that does not.

Industry Solutions:

Separate department of understanding to be removed, integrated, patient-centered care and patient satisfaction is needed to improve standardization.

Health organizations should do the following:

* Some clinical and administrative work to the standards process
* An electronic patient record (EPR) (and / or electronic health record) system through the creation of appropriate data standards and shared patient data base to identify
* To protect patient data and secure, controlled access to provide the security and encryption standards to define
* Standard package solution based on a series of 'intensive infrastructure (technical infrastructure + based applications) to apply
* Clinical and administrative activities to support and disseminate them to all levels of a number of maintenance information systems to improve services or to receive application
* All maintenance levels for health care professionals an integrated health 'portal' to the center with the patient to develop an understanding

This area has many activities, but very little way. Accelerate the application and the speed should be increased gradually. Shared a specific treatment area of patient data can be decided and evaluated by a compound to create a patient record can be brought together. As options, to implement and to develop commercial EPR (Electronic Patient Record - Electronic Patient Record) versions are available. Primary, secondary and outpatient / home care in relation to the level of integrated care solution, and this can be started at the local level of consistent patient information to be used as needed.
Benefits:

* Advanced and more information between the ancient civilizations in patient care more efficient cooperation and health professionals better access to important information
* Maintenance of standards rise faster than the best practical and well-supported (Supporting information systems to be activated)
* Clinical and administrative data to evaluate more efficient to automatically generate the clinical data, maintenance and archiving, and performance measurement and the automatically generated reports.
