Health care informatics is the scientific field that deals with the data capture, storage, retrieval, and use of biomedical data, information, and knowledge for problem solving and decision-making. The objectives of the study were to describe the web-based portals used at the Primary Health Centre (PHC) and to appraise its utilization at the local level.
Various methodologies included observation of portal use, record review, interview of stakeholders using the portals.
Health Workers workload increased because of physical record entry and time spent for entry in web-based health information portals. Web-based portals did not have options for utilization of the data generated at the PHC level. The options of feedback and helpline were not universally available.
Web-based portals are integral part of health system at primary healthcare level. Adequate utilization of web-based health information portals may lead to efficient provision of health services at the primary health care level.
医疗保健信息学是一个科学领域,涉及生物医学数据、信息和知识的数据捕获、存储、检索及用于解决问题和决策。本研究的目的是描述初级卫生保健中心(PHC)使用的基于网络的门户,并评估其在地方层面的利用情况。
采用了多种方法,包括观察门户使用情况、审查记录、采访使用门户的利益相关者。
由于纸质记录录入以及在基于网络的健康信息门户中录入所花费的时间,卫生工作者的工作量增加。基于网络的门户没有利用初级卫生保健中心层面生成的数据的选项。反馈和帮助热线选项并非普遍可用。
基于网络的门户是初级卫生保健层面卫生系统的组成部分。充分利用基于网络的健康信息门户可能会在初级卫生保健层面高效提供卫生服务。
