Abstract

In many healthcare settings, data reside at the point of capture rather than in a centralized database that is accessible by all users of the data. Given the current explosion of interest in ambulatory care data, the need for a coordinated and standardized data set is clear and immediate.

Computer-based ambulatory information systems: recent developments.

This article updates the author's earlier review of some of the major computer-based ambulatory information systems and the literature evaluating their costs, benefits, effect on quality of care, and physician acceptance. The evidence suggests that computer-based information systems can increase access to clinical information, improve physician performance, enhance quality of care, and facilitate outcomes research review. In addition to presenting health information networks and clinical decision support systems such as reminder systems, drug ordering systems, and medical care management systems, the article describes applications of telemedicine and Web-based systems. It also discusses barriers to the widespread use of computer-based ambulatory information systems.

Information technology and medical group management.

Information technology permits revised patient management activities for high-quality, cost-effective care in ambulatory clinics. The electronic medical record is financially feasible for very small physician groups. Disease management for chronic and terminal care patients represents an expanding area of service in medical group management. The Internet provides access to health care information that has empowered patients and their families to approach patient-physician office visits from a new relationship. Data provided by this information technology permit benchmarking of activities by ambulatory care service, treatment modalities, specialty group, and physician.
