Information superhighway or information traffic jam for healthcare consumers?

The phenomenal development and growth of the information superhighway over the past few years has brought with an ever-increasing number of sites associated with health care. At the same time, community access to the Internet and multimedia technology has allowed greater access to healthcare sites by consumers wishing to find healthcare information relevant to their needs. The Internet has greater potential for improving the healthcare knowledge of the community, especially in remote areas or in parts of the community that have limited access to community health infrastructure. However, most of the current development of healthcare sites has focused on the needs of healthcare professionals rather than consumers. Indeed, with the volume of information available over the Internet, it is easy to spend hours browsing through a maze of sites with information that often is fragmented, incomplete, or only accessible with a password. Once a relevant site is located, the information often is presented as vast amounts of text with possibly some graphics. It appears little consideration is given during the development of web sites to the actual presentation of the information. For the full potential of the information superhighway to be realized in relation to health care, more consideration should be given during the development stages of web sites to how the information is presented and how to make access more streamlined.

Evolution of computer-based information systems and networks to support integrated health care delivery systems.

As health care delivery systems become more integrated with an emphasis on community wellness and prevention, well-developed information infrastructures will be needed to support their activities. The article introduces several previously published independent models for the evolution of integrated delivery systems, computer-based patient records (CPRs), and health information networks as well as a summary model that illustrates the relationship among these entities and their somewhat parallel development.

Models for evolving community health information networks.

Community stakeholders, from hospital systems to independent physicians, from self-insured employers to managed health plans, from government agencies to consumers, require access to health information across the continuum of care. As the information highways for organizations and communities, health information networks and community health information networks have become the vehicles to address this growing health information imperative. Research identified more than 500 health information networks in all 50 states and most metropolitan markets. Health information networks vary widely in their definition, strategy, and operational status. Despite tumultuous change with both successes and failures, health information networks are indeed affecting health care delivery within enterprises and local communities, across regions, and on a national scale.
