As in business and other fields, the use of computers is growing in health care. At first, computers were used only in the business office for such things as patient billing and paying for purchase. As computer technology advanced, the use of computers broadened to include patient information and communication systems.
Hospital information systems have been developed which collect, send, record, and store information. The information can be retrieved(提取)when needed. Patient records and patient care plans are on the computer in many health care facilities(机构). Instead of recording on the patient’s chart(图表), health team members enter information into the computer. Entering information into a computer is easier, faster, and more efficient that writing on the chart. Using the computer to record observations is also more accurate and reliable.
Departments such as the X – rays department and the laboratory communicate with other units of the hospital through the computer. Instead of sending a typed report by a person for the patient’s record, the information is entered into the computer. The information can be accessed at the computer in the nurses’ or doctors’ station. These systems provide communication links between departments in the hospital. The systems have reduced the amount of clerk’s work and telephone calls between departments. In formation is communicated with greater speed and accuracy.
Computers are also being used to monitor certain measurements such as blood pressures, temperatures, heart rates, and heart function. The computer is programmed to recognize normal and abnormal measurements. When the abnormal is sensed, an alarm is sounded. Monitoring by the computer has proved to be very accurate and increases early discovery of life threatening events.
