Chapter 9 - Electronic Health System: Sensors Emerging and Intelligent Technology Approach

Abstract

Health Information Technology can be introduced in many forms such as Electronic Health Record (EHR), Electronic Medical Record (EMR), and Clinical Decision Support System. In addition, Personal Health Record became more appealing as it kept patient health record in private. Any changes in health information technology play important roles in enhancing the quality of health system especially in terms of health care. Here, with the availability of sensors emerging technology (SET) trough ICT (Information and Communication Technology) adoptions for health system, there is a strong opposition toward the adoption of e-health systems called EMR. EMR allows the patient data information system from a paper record to electronic format in the form of files, which is easier and effective management. The functions of EMR are to keep and gather the patients' past medical records, to inform any medical care, and to publish any results they conduct in diagnostics testing. Electronic Health Record provide their patients information about a summary of their recent visits, medications, drug allergies, appointments, payments, and some medical forms that can be accessed through the Internet. All of the patients' information will be kept secure in their data. Furthermore, health care professionals will have extra time and resources when making decision for their patients as the crucial information about them are available in the health information technology systems. Thus, these can be beneficial for the doctors and other medical experts since they can manage their patients with ease. Health care organization requires doctors, nurses, or hospital staffs to comprehend that their future in health information system be such that the need to construct supportable well-being framework is irrefutably attached to great execution administration. Then, the finalized information can be accessed through Internet and mobile apps system constructed through the sensors network health apps system.
