Communication among Inpatient Physicians and Nurses
From the study, here are three selected specific information needs and identified key data inputs, processes and outputs that are necessary for the information to be accurate and useful. First, patient specific information needs. Key data inputs for this information needs are; problem lists, list of current providers for the patient and laboratory and other test results. The process involves use of data to produce inpatient and outpatient consultation reports with recommended remedies (outcome). Second, institution specific information needs, here the key inputs include information on the current providers that are on- call and how to contact them and the policies and protocols. The process will involve the use of information so as to produce report that is appropriate for the patient in regard to the institution specific information needs. Lastly, domain specific information needs. The key inputs here include information on disease management, drug information, and medical formulas linked to patient data. The process involves use of the information to produce appropriate treatment formula to the patient Krikelas (1983).
