目的 评估现有计算机化病历中数字笔和纸技术紧密结合的技术可行性。技术:数字笔是一种普通的笔,能够记录用户的所有动作,并分析打印在纸上的微观图案。数字纸是一种普通的纸,上面印着几乎看不见的小圆点编码信息,如位置和标识符。我们报告我们的经验,在现有的大型临床信息系统中,获取临床信息的实施和使用这种技术。 讨论 可以使用数字纸张技术打印唯一标识的表格。这些表格可以预先填写有关患者的临床可读信息。当护理人员使用数字笔填写这些表格时,可以在结构化的计算机化患者记录中获取数据。该技术易于集成到基于Web Services的组件式体系结构中。 结论 数字笔和纸是一种具有成本效益的技术,可以集成到现有的临床信息系统中,并允许快速简便地获取床边临床信息,而无需基于传统便携式设备或无线设备的昂贵基础设施。
OBJECTIVE Evaluation of the technical feasibility of tight integration of the digital pen and paper technology in an existing computerized patient record.Technology: The digital pen is a normal pen able to record all actions of the user and to analyze a micro pattern printed on the paper. The digital paper is a normal paper printed with an almost invisible micro pattern of small dots encoding information such as position and identifiers. We report our experience in the implementation and the use of this technology in an existing large clinical information system for acquiring clinical information. DISCUSSION It is possible to print uniquely identified forms using the digital paper technology. These forms can be pre-filled with clinical readable information about the patient. When care providers complete these forms using the digital pen, it is possible to acquire the data in a structured computerized patient record. The technology is easy to integrate in a component-based architecture based on Web Services. CONCLUSION The digital pen and paper is a cost-effective technology that can be integrated in an existing clinical information system and allows fast and easy bedside clinical information acquisition without the need for an expensive infrastructure based on traditional portable devices or wireless devices.
