Abstract
Traditional healthcare information systems have been developed and organized as silos. However, recent changes in healthcare delivery models have resulted in the widespread creation of MultiDisciplinary care Teams (MDTs). These teams consist of practitioners with a variety of specialties often sited at different locations [1, 2]. This collaborative approach has led to a significant shift in information needs. However, existing information systems are not designed to support this new level of collaboration and technical support for practitioners has not kept pace with changing needs [3]. As every case is different, one of the many information challenges of this new paradigm is that of providing appropriate views to practitioners based on the unique needs of the patient as well as the practitioner’s role with that patient. This paper will describe an individualized role based approach to data views for healthcare providers using an independent system to access data stored in existing healthcare information systems.
