RELIABLE AND REALTIME ARCHITECTURE OF MOTHER CHILD HEALTH INFORMATION SYSTEM WITH ENHANCED USABILITY

Electronic Healthcare Record (EHR) of an expectant mother is a key source of information and serves as a tool for continuity of care with intent to improve efficiency and reduce error. Healthcare information systems have contributed significantly in reducing the mother-child mortality rate in different countries. Now, several underdeveloped nations are shifting towards healthcare information systems which are technology driven to improve their maternal healthcare. In such regard plenty of recent efforts made are commonly targeting commercial aspect of healthcare rather than doctor-patient interaction. But few available systems which can be considered reliable are either difficult to use implement due to lack of resources and deficient computer literate stakeholder. Our primary target is economically suppressed countries were mother-child health care is vulnerable. Proposed is a Mother Child Health information system with enhanced usability which is implemented based on standards of FHIR HL7, WHO, Western Australia Heath Dept. and Perinatal Services British Columbia. Our system provides an interactive graphical interface making it easy to operate. The unique architecture provides several forms for maternal health provided by WHO with added details from other renowned healthcare standards. Creating patient records, update and view can be achieved by simply adding details to the forms as per the trimester visits. Our system maintains the information in FHIR HL7 V4 format enabling global message exchange format. In addition, the system allows access to the JSON documented patient resources using RESTfull approach by making API calls for research and development purposes. Our system could be a potential solution to overcome several prenatal care problems. This system can be used in low socioeconomic index countries as it requires less resources and can be operated easily by minimal computer skills.

Development of Information System for Monitoring Pregnancy Health and Nutrition Adequacy of Toddlers for Stunting Prevention

Jurnal Pilar Nusa Mandiri, 2021

Abstract—Stunting is a health problem caused by a lack of nutritional intake for a long time, resulting in impaired growth in children. Stunting has become one of the government's priorities due to the large number of stunting incidents in Indonesia. The lack of knowledge of mothers about nutrition and good parenting is one of the causes of stunting. Intensive provision of information and health monitoring of pregnant women from time to time will reduce the incidence of stunting in toddlers. The purpose of this research is to develop an information system that can contain various information on pregnancy health and parenting to avoid stunting and can send it regularly to user according to their needs. This information system development adapts the Prototyping model of the Software Development Life Cycle method. The result of this study is an information system that will help disseminate various information on how to fulfill proper nutrition in pregnant and lactating mothers. In ...

Development of a Maternity Clinic Information Management System

International Journal of Advanced Trends in Computer Science and Engineering , 2022

The developed web-based information management system is designed to improve the quality of maternal health care services and working conditions in a maternity clinic. Most of the maternity clinics in the Philippines still follow manual processes and utilize paper-based records. In Robles Maternity Clinic, the clinic encounters several problems like file duplication, file misplacement, unanswered inquiries, long process of appointment scheduling, unused and expired medicines. The researchers utilized Agile Scrum methodology for the development of the system. The researchers used mixed methods research to incorporate user feedback into the built solution. The data were collected through survey questionnaires which are distributed to IT professionals, College of Information and Communications Technology faculty, patients, and Robles Maternity Clinic staff and from semi-structured video interviews with a Robles Maternity Clinic representative. The findings of the study showed that the system is fully functioning and suitable to implement for a maternity clinic. The integrated functionalities in the system answer the problems that a maternity clinic encounters in its daily operation. prescriptions, and pending appointments.

Maternal and Neonatal Healthcare Information System: Development of an Obstetric Electronic Health Record and Healthcare Indicators Dashboard

Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2013

Development and use of specific information systems are nowadays a priority to healthcare organizations. This interdisciplinary paper, between Medicine and Computer Science, comprises an exploratory survey of obstetric and neonatal assistance during the process of birth by focusing on clinical records. It also involves the development of a healthcare indicators dashboard and the implementation of an Obstetric Electronic Health Record. All these efforts aim to improve quality of healthcare assistance. This prototype has been installed within a Brazilian university hospital. Preliminary results included 907 deliveries (from August to December 2012). The Cesarean section rate was 36.4% (65.4% high-risk pregnancy). Among the perinatal indicators, the Apgar Score bellow seven in the 5 th minute was 5.56% and 0.93% whenever considering only fetuses defined as compatible with life. Disclosure and discussion of these data proved to be able to contribute to researches and to management of an obstetric healthcare unit.

e-health for improving community healthcare: Encouraging clinical experience of simple e-prescription system and m-health system development for mother and childcare

2011 IEEE 13th International Conference on e-Health Networking, Applications and Services, 2011

In this paper, we describe the eleven month encouraging clinical implementation experience of our eprescription system in a community health center and further development activities of a mobile e-health system for mother and childcare. The e-prescription system has been developed for supporting the patient and medicine data recording, retrieving and reporting systems, as well as for minimizing the possible medication errors through improving the prescribing process. Several months of clinical experience have been used to enhance further development activities in our m-health system dedicated for supporting mother and childcare (especially the safe motherhood program). The m-health system consists of an SMS (short messaging system) manager module which is responsible for sending short messages with four different operating modes.

Global Journal of Health Science, 2014

More than 9 million neonatal deaths are reported through out the world each year happening in the early weeks of life most of which relate to developing countries. Thus it is very important to present a better way to keep the infants healthy which could be possible by accessing accurate information at any time required during hospitalization of infants. Therefore the required data should be collected, stored and analyzed before which is best possible by using computer. The main objective of this research is enabling researchers and clinicians quick access to the data of the babies admitted in NICU. This study involves the stage of developing a system design and its implementation following the evaluation of the electronic records which is done in a query form. By defining the neccessar terminology and designing a data model, the database and user interface are developed by using a programing language and data base tools. Finaly, the system has been evaluated by user satisfaction showing to be about 85% As a result we suggest the hospitals take serious in buying the suitable technology for the NICU ward along with teaching the staffs how to work with it.
