Developing a Clinical Informatics System which Supports a Model of Partnership among Caregivers, Patients, and Families

摘要

Partnership Care Delivery is an evidence-based practice model being developed at this institution. It emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration, in which all members of the healthcare team work with the patient as active participants in care processes. In order to achieve true partnership among disciplines, and to engage the patient and family, it was important to create supportive clinical informatics. The new system will provide access to scientifically sound information and empower synergy of interdisciplinary teams united as partners with patients and families through shared information.
