Abstract
Adoption of electronic health record systems offers an opportunity to collate massive volumes of complex information about patient care. Healthcare data can inform performance management, enable predictive analytics and enhance strategic decision making. A data-driven approach to improving patient care is vital to address the growing burden of morbidity and mortality associated with major surgery. We describe our methodology for transforming and utilising process of care data in an electronic health record system to develop a registry for quality improvement purposes in patients undergoing major surgery at a single UK hospital. We highlight development of our data-driven vision, technical aspects of processing raw data into metrics relevant to clinical decision making, alongside challenges encountered. Finally, we outline how our data infrastructure supports clinical governance, quality improvement and research. In sharing our experiences, we hope to enable others to embed and access the transformative clinical insights that healthcare data can yield.
期刊介绍:
British Journal of Hospital Medicine was established in 1966, and is still true to its origins: a monthly, peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary review journal for hospital doctors and doctors in training.
The journal publishes an authoritative mix of clinical reviews, education and training updates, quality improvement projects and case reports, and book reviews from recognized leaders in the profession. The Core Training for Doctors section provides clinical information in an easily accessible format for doctors in training.
British Journal of Hospital Medicine is an invaluable resource for hospital doctors at all stages of their career.
The journal is indexed on Medline, CINAHL, the Sociedad Iberoamericana de Información Científica and Scopus.
