The Use of Clinical Systems to improve Outcomes and Efficiencies

Introduction

The use of present-day information technology in healthcare implies a set of methods and

tools for processing medical data in integral technological systems aimed at designing, utilizing,

storing, transferring, and securing essential medical information. Medical informatics

considerably enhances the operation of healthcare systems, making medicine more accessible to

the population, and the process of providing medical services—efficient. Similar alterations are

possible due to changes in the organizational issues of the system that improve the quality of

medical services while reducing the financial costs of their implementation. Healthcare

informatics contributes to the improvement of the work of the healthcare structure, simplifying

the registration of patients, organizing on par with reducing the workload, keeping an automatic

record, controlling drug prescription, and making statistical data processing more efficient.



Annotated Bibliography

Anthony, D. L., Campos-Castillo, C., & Lim, P. S. (2018). Who isn’t using patient portals and

why? Evidence and implications from a National Sample Of US adults. Health Affairs,

37(12), 1948–1954. https://doi.org/10.1377/hlthaff.2018.05117

This study sheds light on the issue related to the application of patient portals and

evidence concerning their efficiency. Anthony, Campos-Castillo, & Lim (2018) offer sufficient

evidence proving that the use of portals is expected to bring about more beneficial outcomes as

these clinical systems considerably improve accessibility, simultaneously simplifying data

, processing. Still, the authors point out one notable implication in this domain. The scientists

argue that, having analyzed information on 2,325 insured respondents, they found that 63% had

reported not using these systems. Also, Anthony, Campos-Castillo, & Lim (2018) assert that

empirical evidence displays that this proportion of respondents are predominantly males who use

Medicaid, lack a regular provider, and have less than a college degree. Therefore, despite that

patient portals are incredibly beneficial to the healthcare system, at the time of research, their

implementation tends to increase disparities among patients.

yet? Current Gastroenterology Reports, 22(3), 12–18. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11894-

This particular research is dedicated to the effect of remote monitoring in inflammatory

bowel disease as a vivid representative of conditions that can be treated in the telemedicine

discourse. Given the current pace of technological advancement, George & Cross (2020) have

launched this study to define the effect of telemedicine on patient outcomes. In particular, their

findings indicate that telehealth can be a safe and effective method in treating IBD worldwide.

Furthermore, the authors posit that all objective data demonstrates the efficiency of remote

monitoring regarding patients not only with IBD but other health issues. Another crucial

implication surrounding this clinical system presupposes that the use of telehealth video

conference and remote monitoring significantly reduce the economic burden on healthcare

structures, simultaneously improving patient outcomes. In light of the aging population

phenomenon and the spread of chronic diseases, George & Cross emphasize that telemedicine

may serve as a powerful tool to significantly reduce the detrimental economic effects associated

with treating chronic conditions.

In their study concerning remote patient monitoring, George & Cross present evidence

that these innovative clinical approaches are only yet to be studied more profoundly because
