Decision support system in a Patient-Centered Medical Home

Patient-Centered Medical Home is a care delivery model to transform how primary care is delivered in the United States. The information technology revolution has brought about several advancements and solutions for medicine and care delivery, and medical homes are no exception to this. Traditionally, such information technology solutions tend to be isolated in development and fragmented in implementation. However, it is only through a robust decision support system that these medical homes can in fact provide truly coordinated and patient-centered care. The paper describes preliminary work that has been completed at the University of Missouri Health System and next steps in achieving high quality care delivery through a decision support system implementation.

以患者为中心的医疗之家是一种医疗服务提供模式，旨在改变美国初级医疗保健的提供方式。信息技术革命为医学和医疗服务带来了多项进步与解决方案，医疗之家也不例外。传统上，此类信息技术解决方案在开发上往往相互孤立，在实施过程中也较为零散。然而，只有通过强大的决策支持系统，这些医疗之家才能真正提供协调一致且以患者为中心的医疗服务。本文介绍了密苏里大学卫生系统已完成的初步工作，以及通过实施决策支持系统实现高质量医疗服务的后续步骤。
