APPLICATIONS FOR THE NATIONAL INFORMATION INFRASTRUCTURE

哥伦比亚大学将使用信息技术和国家 信息基础设施(NII)向患者提供信息 将改善疾病预防活动并有效地管理慢性病 家庭环境中的疾病。患者将收到警报和提醒 当护理标准(免疫接种、糖尿病管理、哮喘控制、 等)都没有实现。患者将输入数据(血压、 血糖水平、肺功能测试结果等)变成一种电子产品 使用在家庭个人上运行的应用程序的病历 连接到NII的计算机。这些患者还将能够 与医疗保健提供者沟通，审查其适用部分 医疗记录，并接收所需的信息以解决他们的 具体的医疗保健问题。该项目将演示技术，以 保护个人健康护理记录的机密性 以电子方式存储和传输，并将评估 患者对可通过以下方式提供的信息资源的利用 国家情报局。

Columbia University will use information technology and the National Information Infrastructure (NII to provide information to patients that will improve disease prevention activities and effective!y manage chronic illnesses in the home setting. Patients will receive alerts and reminders when standards of care (immunization, diabetes management, asthma control, etc.) are not being achieved. Patients will enter data (blood pressures, glucose levels, pulmonary function test results, etc.) into an electronic medical record using applications which run on home-based personal computers connected to the NII. These patients will also be able to communicate with health care providers, review applicable parts of their medical record, and receive desired information which will address their specific health care concerns. The project will demonstrate techniques to safeguard the confidentiality of personal health care records which are stored and transmitted electronically, and will evaluate the impact of patient utilization of information resources which can be delivered via the NII.
