Interfacing Online Vital Sign Monitoring Devices to an Electronic Medical Record

远程医疗的成功依赖于信息和通信技术(ICT)的能力，以最大限度地 远程提供的护理质量，即与提供相同质量的诊断和治疗 面对面或常规方式，最大限度地为患者、临床医生和系统带来好处 关爱。家庭远程医疗，或远程家庭护理，使用ICT向患者家中提供医疗服务。 远程生命体征监测是一个常见的例子，也是一个很有前途的市场，利用个人健康 监测患者生命体征的设备(如脉搏血氧计、血压、秤)，以跟踪患者的 恢复或确定潜在的并发症。为了避免患者手动将数据输入远程医疗 在平板电脑、智能手机或计算机上实施的系统，一个目标是提供直接接口 在具有电子病历(EMR)的在线生命体征监测设备之间。尤其是， 由Omnimed Inc.提供的电子病历是一种共享病历，可促进和鼓励 医疗保健提供者。它的通用连接框架使用每个患者一条记录，将数据集中到 促进医疗保健期间的治疗方法，并提供最佳连续护理 病人。全能电子病历能够向不同的健康信息系统(例如，档案)提供数据 临床信息连续的Ariane Estrie，医学电子档案，圣魁北克档案)。至 Omnimed扩大了其覆盖范围，其目标是开发其EMR，使其超越基本的EMR数据库，向集成 以及能够在所有级别实现互联互通的尖端技术。他们战略的一个要素是使用 通过启用从监视系统接收警报和通知来实现预防性护理中的电子病历 数据来自使用的生命体征监测设备(FitBit活动监测和项目规模)，由 病人在家中。在这个项目中，在设计先进的远程医疗系统时获得的专业知识 大学。Sherbrooke将用于将生命体征监测设备与Omnimed的EMR连接，并将 向照顾者提供适当的信息，并帮助确定他们必须如何以及何时进行干预。

Telehealth success relies on the ability of information and communication technologies (ICT) to maximize the quality of care provided remotely, i.e., providing diagnostics and treatments of the same quality compared to face-to-face or conventional means, and to maximize the benefits for the patients, the clinicians and the system of care. Home telehealth, or telehomecare, uses ICT to provide health care services into a patient's home. Remote vital signs monitoring is a common example and one promising market, with the use of personal health devices (e.g, pulse oximeters, blood pressure, scales) to monitor the vital signs of patients, to follow up on their recovery or identify potential complications. To avoid having the patients enter data manually into a telehealth system implemented on tablets, smartphones or computers, one objective is to provide a direct interface between online vital sign monitoring devices with an Electronic Medical Record (EMR). In particular, the EMR offered by Omnimed Inc. is a shared medical record that facilitates and encourages networking between healthcare providers. Using one record per patient, its generic connectivity framework centralizes data to facilitate treatment approaches during healthcare episodes, and provides an optimal continuum of care for patients. Omnimed EMR is capable of providing data to the different health information systems (e.g., Dossier clinique informatisé continuum Ariane Estrie, Dossier medical électronique, Dossier santé Québec). To broaden its reach, Omnimed aims to develop its EMR to move beyond basic EMR databases, toward integrated and sophisticated technology that enables interconnectivity at all levels. One element of their strategy is to use their EMR in preventive care by enabling the reception of alerts and notifications from systems which monitor data coming from vital sign monitoring devices (FitBit activity monitor and scale for the project) used by patients in their homes. In this project, the expertise acquired in the design of advanced telehealth system at the Univ. Sherbrooke will be used to interface vital sign monitoring devices with Omnimed's EMR, and to send the appropriate information to caregivers and help determine how and when they must intervene.
