1. Brief Profile Proposal for 2011/09 presented to the IT Infrastructure Planning Committee

2. IT Infrastructure Planning Committee The Problem The Patient Encounter Tracking Query (PEQ) Integration Profile has the ability to track the whereabouts of patients in hospitals.The Patient Encounter Tracking Query (PEQ) Integration Profile has the ability to track the whereabouts of patients in hospitals. Upon checking in at hospital reception patients are to proceed to indicated area such as outpatient clinic, laboratory, radiological diagnosis and radiotherapy treatment room. It sometimes happens that patient does not show up at the appointment time. By knowing patients whereabouts, staffs are able to utilize the resource more efficiently.Upon checking in at hospital reception patients are to proceed to indicated area such as outpatient clinic, laboratory, radiological diagnosis and radiotherapy treatment room.

3. IT Infrastructure Planning Committee Use Case Patient Tanaka has scheduled CT scan at today’s 10:00 am. But Tanaka not arrived at the reception of radiology department, so medical staff cannot start CT scan. To check patient location information, Staff of the radiology department uses the PEQ Consumer. And get the information that Mr. Tanaka was accepted last place outpatient department, and he does not leave yet. Staff of the radiology department has started CT scan of patient Suzuki who has accepted the radiology reception yet.Patient Tanaka has scheduled CT scan at today’s 10:00 am.

4. IT Infrastructure Planning Committee Proposed Standards & Systems –Patient Admission/Management system –RIS(Radiology Information System) –LIS(Laboratory Information System) –OIS(Radiation Oncology Information system) –EMR(Electronic Medical Record) –HL7-ADT/PID, PV1, PV2, QBP message

5. IT Infrastructure Planning Committee Discussion Current medical information system could provide more efficient patient management to the users of the system if the patients’ whereabouts are accessible and referable. Recently improved technologies, such as RFID, enables to build the system which can easily shows patient location in a medical facility.Current medical information system could provide more efficient patient management to the users of the system if the patients’ whereabouts are accessible and referable.

PAM (Patient Administration Management), which has already been published in the ITI-Domain, is the one-way function that shares information by receiving one and then passing the same to the pre-designated receiver. There are no managers in the PAM integration profile.PAM (Patient Administration Management), which has already been published in the ITI-Domain, is the one-way function that shares information by receiving one and then passing the same to the pre-designated receiver.
