Abstract

Nowadays, medical industry actively develops mobile-based information system to improve service quality. It can not only reduce writing errors caused by human negligence, but also reduce nurse’s and physician's workload and elevate the quality of patient care. The study was conducted at a medical center located in northern Taiwan. Through the establishment of the proposed mobile-based information system, documents used in surgeries are eliminated and are recorded in computers. This mobile-based information system combines HIS, PACS and LIS to assist medical personnel to import patient's clinical records, imaging reports, inspection reports and other relevant information before, during and after surgery. We propose the record, re-check, report and reference, the 4R checking mechanism as the core concept of the development of the proposed mobile-based intelligent surgery information system. The checking mechanism can automatically view the completion of medical record, and maintain a high degree of integrity if the records are incomplete. After launching the system one and half year, we conduct a questionnaire survey and collect data from nurses and physicians who use this system. The survey was designed to measure the successful of the mobile-based information system. The results confirmed a high degree of satisfaction among users. According to the feedback, it shows that the system should improve the function of automatic saving on regular basis.
