The Borrowing Medical Records System : A Case Study of Medical Information System

Abstract

This research is an application of information technology to efficiently manage the educational information of the School of Dentistry. Dental students must study medical history in teaching dentistry, although the systematic shelving of documents requires greater flexibility in retrieving and searching for patient cases to be studied. The researchers developed a workflow system to increase the efficiency of document borrowing in the form of a web application. to reduce the process of searching for borrowing documents, reduce the waiting time for documents to be borrowed, and shorten the time to summarize all borrowing information, including adding a user-generated hashtag feature to make it easier to find documents by category and context. By using the system to replace the original process, the total time in every process can be reduced from 180–350 minutes to only 8–40 minutes, equivalent to 241 minutes of reduced wasted time.
