Innovations in the utilization of health information technology in psychiatric services.
TLDR
There is ever-increasing activity in applying information technology to various areas of healthcare, including mental health, and many are having a positive impact on mental healthcare today.Abstract:
There is ever-increasing activity in applying information technology to various areas of healthcare, including mental health. Examples of innovations include applications in screening, treatment, clinical decision support, communication and coordination, telemedicine, Internet-based education and services, public health research, training and education, and bioinformatics. Issues and challenges include protection of privacy, managing narrative free text, assessing the reliability of information found online, and mitigating impact on clinical workflow. While many of the innovations described will not be fully realized until national information systems reach a larger scale, many are having a positive impact on mental healthcare today.read more

Adoption and use of health information technology in physician practice organisations: systematic review.
Talia Foster,Ken S Wong +1 more
TL;DR: HIT has the potential to positively impact on physician practice organisations, although significant and diverse barriers block adoption, and research into these obstacles should be coupled with efforts to understand barriers to effective implementation after HIT adoption.

DRGs and other patient-, service- and area-level factors influencing length of stay in acute psychiatric wards: the Veneto Region experience.
Riccardo Pertile,Valeria Donisi,Laura Grigoletti,Andrea Angelozzi,Giuseppe Zamengo,Grazia Zulian,Francesco Amaddeo +6 more
TL;DR: The innovative aspect of this study was the attempt to investigate the relationship between length of stay and other indexes, characterizing not only the inpatient facilities, but also the resident population structure in each area.

Alternatives to standard acute in-patient care in England: short-term clinical outcomes and cost-effectiveness
Mike Slade,Sarah Byford,Barbara Barrett,Brynmor Lloyd-Evans,Helen Gilburt,David Osborn,R. Skinner,Morven Leese,Graham Thornicroft,Sonia Johnson +9 more
TL;DR: The absence of clear-cut advantage for either type of service highlights the importance of the subjective experience and longer-term costs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Information systems for mental health.
TL;DR: In mental health services there are the typical applications of information systems concerning administrative, clinical and research issues, as well as innovative applications concerning diagnostic procedures, self-help, communication and delivery of psychotherapy.

Unexpected Increased Mortality After Implementation of a Commercially Sold Computerized Physician Order Entry System
Yong Y. Han,Joseph A. Carcillo,Shekhar T. Venkataraman,Robert S. B. Clark,R. Scott Watson,R. Scott Watson,Trung C. Nguyen,Hülya Bayır,Richard A. Orr +8 more
TL;DR: An unexpected increase in mortality coincident with CPOE implementation is observed, which suggests that when implementing C POE systems, institutions should continue to evaluate mortality effects, in addition to medication error rates, for children who are dependent on time-sensitive therapies.

Electronic Health Records in Ambulatory Care — A National Survey of Physicians
Catherine M. DesRoches,Eric G. Campbell,Sowmya R. Rao,Karen Donelan,Timothy G. Ferris,Ashish K. Jha,Rainu Kaushal,Douglas E. Levy,Sara J. Rosenbaum,Alexandra E. Shields,David Blumenthal +10 more
TL;DR: Physicians who use electronic health records believe such systems improve the quality of care and are generally satisfied with the systems, but as of early 2008, electronic systems had been adopted by only a small minority of U.S. physicians, who may differ from later adopters of these systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Types of Unintended Consequences Related to Computerized Provider Order Entry
TL;DR: Identifying and understanding the types and in some instances the causes of unintended adverse consequences associated with CPOE will enable system developers and implementers to better manage implementation and maintenance of future C POE projects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electronic health record use and the quality of ambulatory care in the United States.
TL;DR: As implemented, EHRs were not associated with better quality ambulatory care and there was no significant difference in performance between visits with vs without EHR use.

Security and privacy issues with health care information technology.
TL;DR: The privacy and security implications of next-generation health care technologies are explored, existing methods for handling issues are described as well as discussing which issues need further consideration.
