{"title":"System interoperability and data linkage in the era of health information management: A bibliometric analysis","authors":"Tiago Costa, Teresa Borges-Tiago, Francisco Martins, Flávio Tiago","doi":"10.1177/18333583241277952","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/18333583241277952","url":null,"abstract":"Background: Across the world, health data generation is growing exponentially. The continuous rise of new and diversified technology to obtain and handle health data places health information management and governance under pressure. Lack of data linkage and interoperability between systems undermines best efforts to optimise integrated health information technology solutions. Objective: This research aimed to provide a bibliometric overview of the role of interoperability and linkage in health data management and governance. Method: Data were acquired by entering selected search queries into Google Scholar, PubMed, and Web of Science databases and bibliometric data obtained were then imported to Endnote and checked for duplicates. The refined data were exported to Excel, where several levels of filtration were applied to obtain the final sample. These sample data were analysed using Microsoft Excel (Microsoft Corporation, Washington, USA), WORDSTAT (Provalis Research, Montreal, Canada) and VOSviewer software (Leiden University, Leiden, Netherlands). Results: The literature sample was retrieved from 3799 unique results and consisted of 63 articles, present in 45 different publications, both evaluated by two specific in-house global impact rankings. Through VOSviewer, three main clusters were identified: (i) e-health information stakeholder needs; (ii) e-health information quality assessment; and (iii) e-health information technological governance trends. A residual correlation between interoperability and linkage studies in the sample was also found. Conclusion: Assessing stakeholders’ needs is crucial for establishing an efficient and effective health information system. Further and diversified research is needed to assess the integrated placement of interoperability and linkage in health information management and governance. Implications: This research has provided valuable managerial and theoretical contributions to optimise system interoperability and data linkage within health information research and information technology solutions.","PeriodicalId":55068,"journal":{"name":"Health Information Management Journal","volume":"118 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142262257","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Journal has had a long and interesting history that can be traced back to the 1970s with humble beginnings, being manually produced with a stencil and duplicating machine by volunteers (Watson, 2019). The fact that we are now publishing a special issue through SAGE Publishing speaks volumes about how far the Journal has come and the title of this Special Issue, Clinical Coding and the Quality and Integrity of Health Data, speaks volumes about how important clinical coding has become to the management of health information in Australia and around the world. In Australia, as the Health Information Management Association of Australia celebrates its 70th anniversary, clinical coders are facing challenges on many fronts. Clinical coded data influences diverse aspects of our health systems, from quality and safety monitoring and funding models to health service planning and infrastructure development. In addition, we have technological developments that will change the clinical coders’ roles substantially over the next 5–10 years. The articles published in this Special Issue reflect these challenges and illustrate the far-reaching consequences of data that lack integrity and are of poor quality. Campbell and Giadresco (2020), through a literature review, investigated the effect of computer assisted coding on the accuracy and quality of clinical coding and its impact on clinical coding professionals. The articles, dissertations and case studies they reviewed demonstrated value in improving clinical coding accuracy and quality through computer assisted coding. Campbell and Giadresco concluded that clinical coders should view computer assisted coding as an opportunity to develop new skills, particularly in monitoring and auditing coding outputs, and that sound change management strategies are needed to ensure a successful transition of the clinical coding workforce to new roles. Improved clinical coding accuracy will benefit our health system enormously but it would be naı̈ve to think that computer assisted coding is the complete answer. Clinical coders will be needed in different roles to help realise the benefits of computer assisted coding. To that end, Hay et al. (2020) discussed the role of documentation improvement specialists and how they can ensure adequate documentation that can be translated into clinical codes. This is a potential role for clinical coders who understand both the clinical documentation and the needs of the end users of the coded data. Hay et al. (2020) also outlined the work of the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care, which has promoted improved documentation through its National Safety and Quality Health Service Standards and the use of coded data for monitoring patient safety through its hospital-based outcome indicators.

This service has increased the need for timely and accurate information to facilitate planning, resource allocation and decision-making. Complexity in providing effective public health interventions in refugee settings coupled with increased funding requirements has created demands for better data and improved accountability. Health data management in refugee settings is faced with several information gaps that require harmonisation of the Ugandan National Health Management Information System (UHMIS) and United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) Refugee Health Information System (RHIS). This article discusses the rationale for harmonisation of the UNHCR RHIS, which currently captures refugee data, with the UHMIS. It also provides insights into how refugee health data management can be harmonised within a country’s national health management information system. Method: A consultative meeting with various stakeholders, including the Ugandan Ministry of Health, district health teams, representatives from UNHCR, the United Nations Children Education Fund (UNICEF), United States Government and civil society organisations, was held with an aim to review the UHMIS and UNHCR RHIS health data management systems and identify ways to harmonise the two to achieve an integrated system for monitoring health service delivery in Uganda. Results: Several challenges facing refugee-hosting district health teams with regard to health data management were identified, including data collection, analysis and reporting. There was unanimous agreement to prioritise an integrated data management system and harmonisation of national refugee stakeholder data requirements, guided by key recommendations developed at the meeting. Conclusion: This article outlines a proposed model that can be used to harmonise the UNHCR RHIS with the UHMIS. The national refugee stakeholder data requirements have been harmonised, and Uganda looks forward to achieving better health data quality through a more comprehensive national UHMIS to inform policy planning and evidence-based decision-making.","PeriodicalId":55068,"journal":{"name":"Health Information Management Journal","volume":"50 1","pages":"149 - 156"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2019-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/1833358319887817","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46186066","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
