Abstract: (869 Views)
Hospital management issues have been one of the most important concerns of governments. These challenges involve medical staff and health policymakers more than ever during crises such as the Covid-19 epidemic. Lack of hospital beds and special-care facilities, medical staff shortage, and immediate reduction of drug inventory are among the most important problems in critical situations. Designing technological management solutions and using existing potentials to evaluate the condition of hospitals at the macro level can greatly reduce the incidence of such problems.
In this study, an attempt is made to prevent the aforementioned problems using a technological solution in HISs, where a directorial analysis in evaluating the facilities and limitations of medical centers on the one hand, and the architecture of the HER, on the other hand, is performed. Establishing an online system for sending and receiving the live status of beds in the HIS and HER systems is the first step, and adopting macro-management approaches to use the available treatment capacities for optimal patient coverage is the second step.
This system is launched nationally based on the current platform of Iran's EHR at a low cost. Collecting patient data during the stages of admission, treatment, and discharge, while facilitating the monitoring of the hospital beds, helps to enrich the content of the EHR, as well as the launch of online management-monitoring dashboards. Patient status monitoring, bed vacancy, and the discharge rate of hospitals could be monitored offline and lately, and we improved it by providing a novel model.
