Development of a Home Care Nursing Network System for Low Income and Vulnerable Health People by Utilizing Wire-Wireless Network and Mobile Computing / 대한의료정보학회지

This study was to develop the home care nursing network system for low income and vulnerable health people by utilizing wire- wireless network and mobile computing in order to record and send patients' data in real time, and connect the headquarter office and four local community health centers. The methods were the Method/1 and Prototyping were adopted to develop the main network system. Results were: 1) home care nursing standard guidelines for Diabetes, cancer and peritoneal-dialysis, dementia/mental disorder, and chronic arthritis were added in 12 domains of nursing problem field with nursing assessment/intervention algorithms. 2) upgrading PDA system by utilizing the machinery and tools where the PDA and the data transmission modem are integrated, CDMX - 1X base construction in order to reduce a transmission hour and the transmission failure.

The Implementation of Homecare Nursing Network System Using Wireless Network / 대한의료정보학회지

The purpose of this project is to implement "Homecare Nursing Network System" using wireless network which was able to manage homecare service efficiently. Therefore, by completing the project of "Homecare Nursing Network System", the research team connected the headquarter and the local homecare service offices over the Internet, and built the database and application programs to operate the offices. Homecare nurses are using the PDA(personal digital assistant) in order to provide homecare nursing service, to record the patients' data, and to send and receive the data in real time. It results in improving the quality of the homecare service through the computerized knowledge-based assess and intervention algorithms. The team also has implemented the homepage to introduce the homecare office and to provide the homecare service information. "Homecare Nursing Network System" allows us to manage homecare nursing service under the computerized environment, to keep track of the homecare nursing document efficiently, to improve the quality of homecare nursing, and to expand its business territory.
