| Descripción: |
Computerization has had a large impact on hospital intensive care units, allowing continuous monitoring and display of physiological patient data. Treatment of the critically ill patient, however, now requires assimilating large amounts of patient data. Computers can help by processing the data and displaying the information in easy to understand formats. Also, knowledge-based systems can provide advice in diagnosis and treatment of patients. If these systems are to be effective, they must be integrated into the total hospital information system and the separate computer data must be jointly integrated into a new database which will become the primary medical record. This thesis presents the design and implementation of a computerized database for an intensive care unit patient data management system being developed for the Montreal Children's Hospital. The database integrates data from the various PDMS components into one logical information store. The patient data currently managed includes physiological parameter data, patient administrative data and fluid balance data. A simulator design is also described, which allows for thorough validation and verification of the Patient Data Management System. This simulator can easily be extended for use as a teaching and training tool for PDMS users. The database and simulator were developed in C and implemented under the OS/2 operating system environment. The database is based on the OS/2 Extended Edition relational Database Manager. |
