Development and analysis of the health care database system for elderly patients using the hospital information system

在鹿儿岛大学医院，我们开发了名为Think的全医院信息系统，该系统包括处方订购系统、实验室订购系统、放射科订购系统和医疗物资分配管理系统。自1984年以来，该系统一直在有效地运行。该系统通过临床支持系统实现在线药物信息、订购历史、化验结果等信息的检索，改进了大型机数据库系统的使用方式，利用局域网通过TCP/IP协议访问临床数据库和患者数据库，通过客户端系统方便地使用关系数据库系统，在医院信息系统中利用地理信息系统与患者数据库相连接的方式对区域医疗信息进行分析。我们可以很容易地分析和理解电子地图上的图形结果和表示。

In Kagoshima university hospital, we have developed the total hospitalinformation system named THINK,which inclued a prescription ordering system, a laboratory ordering system, a radiology ordering system and a medical material distribution management system. THINK system hasbeen operated efficintly since 1984. In this system, we can retrieve on-line drug information, the order history, the laboratory result and so on by the clinical support system.We have improved the way of the utilization of the mainframe database system and we could access the clinical and patient database by the TCP/IP protocol using the local area network, and we can easily use the relational database system by the client server system.In this time, we have analized the regional health care information using the geographical information system that was linked to the patient database at the hospital information system. We could easily analyze and understand the graphical result and presentation on the electronic map.
