Critical care information systems are used to help manage the large amount of data generated in an intensive care unit every day. Obtaining, synchronizing, assimilating, and evaluating patient data is very difficult because of incompatibilities among monitoring equipment, the absence of standard data formatting and proprietary limitations from industry.
The intensive care units are a specialized section of a hospital containing the equipment, medical and nursing staff, monitoring and life support devices necessary to provide continuous care to patients that are severely ill and medically unstable.
Information and communication technology has the potential to address many problems encountered in ICU care and managing large amounts of patient and research data and reducing medical errors.
The extensive use of physiological monitoring and organ support systems in critical care ensures that these areas are already technologically rich environments.
This leads to a higher likelihood of acceptance of new information technology and ease in its implementation that reduces the inherent risk of information technology projects.
However, clinical record keeping has been more challenging, particularly the requirement for electronic storage of a medico-legal record. Decision support ranges in its extent and requires further development. Successful integration with other hospital systems is highly desirable but may be made more difficult by the lack of rigorous technical standards in healthcare computing
. The critical care information system is fundamental to the quality improvement, research and business reporting functions. The huge amount of data, the lack of common minimal and extensive data sets, and the technical challenges of software development, all combine to make this a resource expensive venture requiring on site customization.
Purchasing and implementing a critical care information system is costly in human and material resources.
The critical care information system has been implemented in 201 adult and pediatric Level 3 and Level 2 critical care units.
The system provides an important medium for monitoring and managing the province's critical care resources more effectively, as well as highlighting opportunities for implementing quality improvement initiatives at individual hospitals and across the LHINs.
Additionally, critical care information system supports the ventilator associated pneumonia and central line infection data collection under the ministry's patient safety initiative. The data captured in critical information system is also used to develop quarterly reports to inform health care system improvements.
