Abstract

Background: The Minimum Data Set (MDS) plays a vital role in data exchange, collection and quality improvement. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, there is a need for a tailored MDS that aligns with the specific information needs of the Iranian community and integrates seamlessly into the country's Hospital Information Systems (HIS).

Objective: The study aimed to develop a comprehensive MDS for COVID-19 patients in Iran, with objectives to identify essential data elements and integrate the MDS into HIS, enhancing data exchange and supporting decision-making.

Method: This study employed a comparative-descriptive approach to design COVID-19 patient data elements based on World Health Organisation and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines. The Delphi technique involved 35 experts in two rounds for checklist refinement. The finalised MDS consisted of 9 main terms and 80 sub-terms, analysed using descriptive statistics and IBM SPSS software.

Results: Of 35 experts involved with the study, 69% were male and 31% female, and Health Information Management experts were the majority (34%). The refined MDS for COVID-19 in Iran comprises 50 data elements, while 30 elements were excluded. The MDS includes 8 main terms and 80 sub-terms, with unanimous approval for identity, underlying disease, and treatment sections.

Conclusion: The customised MDS for COVID-19 patients in Iran addresses data collection challenges and supports effective disease prevention and management. By providing comprehensive and reliable information, the MDS enhances healthcare quality, facilitates timely access to medical records, and fosters integrated health services.

在伊朗医院信息系统中为新冠肺炎患者设计一个全面的最小数据集。
背景:最小数据集(MDS)在数据交换、收集和质量改进方面发挥着至关重要的作用。在新冠肺炎大流行的背景下,需要一种量身定制的MDS,该MDS符合伊朗社区的特定信息需求,并无缝集成到该国的医院信息系统(HIS)中。目的:该研究旨在为伊朗新冠肺炎患者开发一种全面的MDS,目的是确定基本数据元素,并将MDS整合到HIS中,加强数据交换并支持决策。方法:本研究采用了一种基于世界卫生组织和疾病控制与预防中心指南的比较描述方法来设计新冠肺炎患者数据元素。Delphi技术让35名专家参与两轮检查表细化。最终的MDS由9个主要术语和80个子术语组成,使用描述性统计和IBM SPSS软件进行分析。结果:参与研究的35名专家中,69%为男性,31%为女性,健康信息管理专家占大多数(34%)。伊朗新冠肺炎的改进MDS包括50个数据元素,排除了30个元素。MDS包括8个主要术语和80个子术语,在身份、潜在疾病和治疗部分获得一致批准。结论:为伊朗新冠肺炎患者定制的MDS解决了数据收集挑战,并支持有效的疾病预防和管理。MDS通过提供全面可靠的信息,提高了医疗保健质量,促进了对医疗记录的及时访问,并促进了综合医疗服务。
