Distribution of a Primary Care Office Information System

描述(由申请人提供)： 这个项目的目标是取得一个成功的网站，它已经 显示为帮助初级保健医生(PCP)进行日常病人护理，以及 将它的使用推广到其他机构。初级保健办公室(PCOI) 网站由马萨诸塞州总医院开发，并在其内部广泛使用 MGH医院及其附属社区实践。它聚集在一个单一的 易于浏览的站点提供了大量实用、有用的资料，包括 患者护理指南、治疗信息、患者教育材料、 和工作流支持，专为常规患者设计 关爱活动。 医学研究所(IOM)报告中的一项建议是关于 改善医疗服务的提供是利用信息技术 在日常实践中增加使用科学有效的决策。 已经多次表明，初级保健医生的信息需求没有得到满足 Meet，尽管互联网上有丰富的信息，因为这 信息不是现成的，也没有经过最佳的组织以供使用 在日常的病人护理中。我们已经开发了一个专注于PCP的网站 事实证明，这对儿科医生在日常病人护理中具有实用价值 活动。本拨款申请中所述的项目旨在 演示并评估此计划是否可以与其他人共享 机构，特别是没有资源的医院或组织 在内部开发这样的程序。作为该项目的一部分，MGH 计算机科学实验室(LCS)将与MGH建立合作伙伴关系 特雷德韦尔图书馆利用这两个部门之间的协同作用。我们 也希望利用这笔赠款来更好地了解障碍 以及机构间信息网络的解决方案。最后，我们希望 为了确定项目在授权期过后是否可以继续， 由用户收费支持。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this project is to take a successful Web site, which has been shown to aid primary care physicians (PCPs) in their daily patient care, and extend its use to other institutions. The Primary Care Office InSite (PCOI) site was developed by, and is widely used within, the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and its affiliated community practices. It gathers in a single easily-navigable site a wealth of practical, useful material, including patient care guidelines, therapy information, patient educational material, and workflow support, designed specifically to be used during routine patient care activity. One of the recommendations from the Institute of Medicine (IOM) report on improving the delivery of medical care was to utilize information technology in daily practice to increase the use of scientifically valid decision-making. It has been repeatedly shown that the information needs of PCPs are not being met, despite the wealth of information available on the Internet, because this information is not readily available and not optimally organized for use during daily patient care. We have developed a focused PCP-oriented Web site that has proven of practical value to PCPs in their daily patient care activities. The project described in this grant request is intended to demonstrate and evaluate whether this initiative can be shared with other institutions, especially with hospitals or organizations without the resources to develop such programs internally. As part of this project, the MGH Laboratory of Computer Science (LCS) will develop a partnership with the MGH Treadwell Library to capitalize on the synergy between the two departments. We also expect to use the grant to develop better understanding of the barriers and solutions to inter-institutional networks of information. Finally, we hope to determine whether the project can continue after the grant period, supported by user charges.
