RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Recently, with the development of information and communication technology in the healthcare industry, the tools of this technology have different applications such as Health Smart Card in this area. The main application of health smart card in the field of ophthalmology is providing demographic and clinical information for different people. Therefore, this study was done to identify and prioritize the data elements of the ophthalmology health smart card. METHODS: This study was a descriptive-development one that was done in 2017. A review was conducted in relevant databases including PubMed, Web of knowledge, Science direct, and Web of Science to identify appropriate related sources. In the second phase, the ophthalmology specialists and health information managers (20) in RassolAkram, Farabi and Noor Eye Hospital consulted by a questionnaire for health smart card requirements. This study carried out in Iran. Collected data were analyzed by descriptive methods in SPSS software version 19. RESULTS: Two categories of demographic and clinical data requirements for health smart card were determined. Patient ID, Occupation, and National Code were the most important demographic requirements of ophthalmology health card. Furthermore, clinical data elements of the ophthalmology health smart card were identified in three categories: Corneal Tests, Retinal Tests, Glaucoma Tests, and Associated Conditions. CONCLUSION: Using the identified data elements, it is possible to design and implement an ophthalmology health smart card. Developing an ophthalmology health smart card is expected to progress of information retrieve, facilitate communication of healthcare organizations and improve healthcare quality.
RESUMO
Apesar do constante crescimento do uso da tecnologia nas diversas áreas, ainda existem processos não informatizados, dependendo exclusivamente do uso da caneta e do papel, exemplo disso é a carteira de vacinação no Brasil. Em vários postos de saúde, os processos de registro da vacinação, desde o registro de quantas vacinas chegaram ao posto até o controle de quantas vacinas foram aplicadas diária e mensalmente são realizados através de fichas preenchidas manualmente pelos colaboradores destes postos. Esses procedimentos geram: inconsistência e perda de informações, difícil acesso a informações, dentre outros. Este artigo propõe um protótipo de carteira de vacinação virtual com o objetivo de propiciar o acesso ágil às informações registradas, armazenar informações de forma centralizada e organizada, permitindo a consistência e integridade de dados. Para isso, utiliza-se um cartão inteligente combinado a um ambiente web proporcionando acesso imediato e integral ao registro do histórico de vacinação de todo cidadão.
Despite the steady growth in the use of technology in different areas, there are still not computerized procedures, depending exclusively the use of pen and paper, example is the vaccination card in Brazil. In several health centers, all of vaccination registration processes, since the registration of all vaccines reached the post until track ofhow many vaccines were applied daily and monthly are performed through bookmarks manually filled by employees of these stations. These procedures create: inconsistency and loss of information, difficult access to information, among others. This paper purposes a prototype a virtual vaccination card in order to provide an agile access to recorded information, store information in a centralized and organized manner, allowing consistency and data integrity. For this,we use a combined smart card to web environment providing immediate and full access to the record of the vaccination history of all citizens.
