Ambulatory care is assuming an increasing role in health-care delivery. Yet, most health-care information systems were developed for the acute-care setting. To address the needs of ambulatory care, developers need a comprehensive understanding of the information-related activities of clinicians in heterogeneous outpatient practices. We studied the information activities of clinicians in seven diverse (primary-care, specialty-care, faculty, and independent private practices) ambulatory care sites. The results of our study allow us to characterize clinicians' information-related activities, their perceived information needs, and their satisfaction with computer resources. Developers of health-care information systems can use the results to design applications for clinicians in ambulatory care.
门诊护理在医疗服务中发挥着越来越重要的作用。然而,大多数医疗信息系统是为急性护理环境开发的。为满足门诊护理的需求,开发者需要全面了解不同门诊实践中临床医生的信息相关活动。我们研究了七个不同类型(初级护理、专科护理、教职员工和独立私人诊所)门诊护理场所中临床医生的信息活动。我们的研究结果使我们能够描述临床医生的信息相关活动、他们感知到的信息需求以及他们对计算机资源的满意度。医疗信息系统开发者可以利用这些结果为门诊护理中的临床医生设计应用程序。
