Related Articles Usefulness of a Regional Health Care Information System in primary Care: a case study. Comput Methods Programs Biomed. 2008 Aug;91(2):175-81 Authors: Maass MC, Asikainen P, Mäenpää T, Wanne O, Suominen T The goal of this paper is to describe some benefits and possible cost consequences of computer based access to specialised Health Care information. A before-after activity analysis regarding 20 diabetic patients' clinical appointments was performed in a Health Centre in Satakunta region in Finland. Cost data, an interview, time-and-motion studies, and flow charts based on modelling were applied. Access to up-to-date diagnostic information reduced redundant clinical re-appointments, repeated tests, and mail orders for missing data. Timely access to diagnostic information brought about several benefits regarding workflow, patient Care, and disease management. These benefits resulted in theoretical net cost savings. The study results indicated that Regional Information Systems may be useful tools to support performance and improve efficiency. However, further studies are required in order to verify how the monetary savings would impact the performance of Health Care Units. PMID: 18514363 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE] ...

As we enter the final two months of this election cycle, Health Care reform is starting to get the attention it deserves. My next four blogs will discuss "Healing the Health Care System." I have been invited to be part of Senator Barack Obama's Health Care advisory team (though with two good presidential candidates, I would be honored to council both). I do NOT speak for his campaign though, and the ideas and proposals in these columns are my personal opinions. This blog will supply the opportunity to debate these issues, so we can develop new ideas to present to our elected officials as Health Care reform moves along. I will note that I am impressed with those leading Senator Obama's team. I am especially impressed that he picked people who are not on the pharmaceutical or Health insurance payroll. Rather, these people seek to be and are highly effective patient advocates—and I have great respect for what their actions have shown them to be. Healing the Health Care System—Part 1 One of the things that drew me to medicine was the importance of combining both the art and the science of medicine. In the approximately three decades since then, most physicians have lost faith in their own ability to diagnose by listening to and examining the patient, and they've seen the average time allotted them per patient visit drop to around 4-7 minutes. Many have also forgotten about "bedside manner" and the ability of words to both harm and heal (to ...
