Objectivies and Approach

The objectives of this project are to develop a clinical support system (CSS) and introduce a health information system (HIS) including CSS in a Hungarian hospital. The CSS has been developed within the EDITH framework, established in the ESPRIT project 7508. The project will also finalise a consistent technical and organisational methodology for introducing health information systems in Hungarian hospitals.

European links: The work builds on the results of the ESPRIT project 7508 (European Distributed Information Technology for Health Care).

Progress and Results

The consortium has completed:

• the definition of the basic needs of the physician in terms of support for daily activities;
• the understanding of the decision process, in terms of the support that an IT system can provide to such a process;
• the identification of more sophisticated needs, such as support in the definition of the therapeutic protocol linked to a specific diagnosis;
• the elaboration of the model of the decision process and of the general user requirements.

Information Dissemination Activities and/or Exploitation

An activity to exploit HIS modules already available in the EDITH framework has been initiated in the Italian and Hungarian markets.
