Medical history
Clinical signs and symptoms
Laboratory and imaging results
Physicians’ consultations
Bedside/Chart vital signs flow sheets etc
3. Capturing Clinical Content in a HMIS
Free Text
Individualized Clinician narrative
Not standardized
Important content may be missed.
Templates
Encode Information using controlled vocabulary.
Information capture in a structured manner
4. Capturing Clinical Content in a HMIS
Static Templates:
As per end user requirement by developers.
For every change Intervention of developer required
Changes at Application and Database level.
Dynamic Templates:
Design by the end users as per their requirement.
Presentation of form can be revised and re-revised by end users.
No changes at Application or Database level
5. Static Template
6. Static Template
7. Problems with Static Templates Ensuring completeness at outset in static templates.
Cannot create new templates on the fly.
A missing item cannot be added on the fly.
Cannot revise with ease and without developer Intervention.
Changes required at application as well as database level.
8. HMIS: Dynamic content capture Need:
HMIS application to allow the flexibility to the hospital to customize clinical content as required.
9. HMIS: Dynamic content capture Need:
HMIS application to allow the flexibility to the hospital to customize clinical content as required.
Solution:
A Framework has been integrated within e-Sushrut which serves as a support or guide for the building of clinical templates.
10. e-Sushrut: Dynamic Clinical Framework
Maintains a repository of default minimalistic specialty wise clinical templates
Allows editing/revisions/maintenance of the standard repository
Allows creation of completely new Speciality wise clinical templates
Loosely coupled with the Database and Application.
