| Abstract (ENG): |
Background/Introduction: Standardization of data collection
and reporting within EMTs is challenging. In past deployments,
the Red Cross Red Crescent Type 1 and Type 2 facilities
have collected data by hand using paper-based form and Excel
spreadsheets. This process can be laborious, time-consuming,
and often inaccurate.
Objectives: To combat this issue with reporting, RCHIS (Red
Cross Red Crescent Health Information System) has been
designed to ensure that reporting is accurate and also very easy
to complete, increasing compliance with the EMT-MDS
reporting.
Method/Description: RCHIS is both an electronic medical
record (EMR) and health information system (HIS). RCHIS
has been designed to produce pre-made reports including the
MDS in seconds, extracting data from the patient records.
Through significant testing and pilot deployments in a domestic
Type 1 fixed clinic, the rapid production of reports such as
the MDS has increased compliance and accuracy with
reporting.
Results/Outcomes: Overall, the utilization of an electronic
medical system for increasing compliance and accuracy with
the MDS has been hugely successful. An in-depth analysis of
the export data was done to confirm the 100% accuracy within
the MDS report.
Conclusion: The utilization of RCHIS within a domestic
ERU (equivalent to anEMTType 1 or Type 2) has been hugely
successful. The next steps will involve the deployment of
RCHIS within an international deployment. |
