The diagram below shows the main information flows between the systems used in hospital based care and the complexity in maintaining transfer of patient information and a limited amount of clinical information between systems.
Whilst there is some interfacing to pass basic information between systems this is limited to a large degree by the technical ability of the linked systems. From a clinical experience perspective the key systems are all separate, requiring separate log-ins, and a very different user interface to navigate in each system. This leads to duplication of data collection, wastes clinical time and potentially increases clinical risks through mis-identification of patients or poor access to important information.
