Health-records Management System And It's Application In Visual Medical-electronic Instruments

Managing medical records well is important for a hospital. Especially in the process of hospitals' modernization, being provided with a finer medical records management system (MRMS) to manage medical records is a very important step. So it is significant to make researches on medical records management system. In this paper, the research on medical records management system is begun from the storage need of medical records in visual medical electronic instrument. Firstly, the constitute, the function, the connection between MRMS and hospital information system (HIS), the technology based and the standard followed by MRMS are introduced. Secondly, the structure, the function of visual medical electronic instrument based on visual instrument technology, the process of building a visual medical electronic instrument bank and of forming a build-up visual medical electronic instrument are narrated. Then the paper introduces the inevitability and the significant of developing MRMS in a visual medical electronic instrument, especially in a visual electroencephalograph (EEG). Grounding on these theories and technology, we develop a MRMS that is fit for visual EEG system, which has functions of adding medical records, updating, deleting and recalling information. In the course of studying actualities of MRMS in the world, we found that the method of managing medical information currently used at home has already not been suitable for the evolution of medical care system, and MRMS available, which dropping behind those used overseas, are holding back the evolvement of medical information management mode. Therefore, it is essential to carry out farther research and develop for MRMS. In this paper, we try to adopt the HL7 standard that is generally employed to design database for MRMS on the side of data type. We also make the system conform to the foundational criterion stipulated for MRMS in the HIS by Chinese Ministry of health in May.28, 2002. The MRMS we developed performs functions of saving content of medical records' First Page, recalling medical information, managing information generated in the course of learning and returning, taking statistics according to key word and so on. In the paper, the three steps of system analysis, system designing and system development, which usually are applied to develop management information system, are expounded. At last, three sides will be carried on in future are mentioned, which are to manageintegrated information for medical records, to connect with HIS, to select storage technology for a mass of information.
