Continuous quality improvement (CQI) and medical informatics specialists need to converge their efforts to create synergy for improving health care. Health care CQI needs medical informatics' expertise and technology to build the information systems needed to manage health care organizations according to quality improvement principles. Medical informatics needs CQI's philosophy and methods to build health care information systems that can evolve to meet the changing needs of clinicians and other stakeholders. This paper explores the philosophical basis for convergence of CQI and medical informatics efforts, and then examines a clinical computer workstation development project that is applying a combined approach.
持续质量改进(CQI)和医学信息学专家需要共同努力,创造协同效应以改善医疗保健。医疗保健领域的持续质量改进需要医学信息学的专业知识和技术,来构建按照质量改进原则管理医疗保健组织所需的信息系统。医学信息学需要持续质量改进的理念和方法,来构建能够不断发展以满足临床医生和其他利益相关者不断变化需求的医疗保健信息系统。本文探讨了持续质量改进和医学信息学共同努力的哲学基础,然后考察了一个正在应用综合方法的临床计算机工作站开发项目。
