Distribution of a Primary Care Office Information System

描述（由申请人提供）： 这个项目的目标是采取一个成功的网站，这已经 帮助初级保健医生（PCP）进行日常患者护理， 将其推广到其他机构。初级保健办公室InSite（PCOI） 该场地由马萨诸塞州将军开发，并在其内部广泛使用 医院（MGH）及其附属社区实践。它聚集在一个单一的 一个易于浏览的网站，提供了大量实用、有用的材料，包括 患者护理指南、治疗信息、患者教育材料， 和工作流程支持，专门设计用于常规患者 关怀活动。 医学研究所（IOM）报告的一项建议是， 改善医疗保健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。 事实一再表明，初级专业人员的信息需求没有得到满足， 尽管互联网上有丰富的信息，但由于 信息不容易获得，也没有得到最佳组织 在病人的日常护理中。我们已经开发了一个面向PCP的网站 已被证明对PCP在日常患者护理中具有实用价值 活动本赠款申请中描述的项目旨在 展示并评估这一举措是否可以与其他国家分享， 机构，特别是与没有资源的医院或组织 在国内开发这样的项目。作为该项目的一部分，MGH 计算机科学实验室（LCS）将与MGH建立伙伴关系 Treadwell图书馆利用两个部门之间的协同作用。我们 我还希望利用这笔赠款更好地了解这些障碍 以及机构间信息网络的解决方案。最后我们希望 以确定项目是否可以在赠款期后继续进行， 由用户付费支持。

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.
