摘要

重症监护病房(ICU)是重症患者需求量最大的病房。需要持续监测和特殊生命支持的患者入住ICU。世界上大多数icu都存在资源不足的问题。由于icu费用高昂,斯里兰卡icu数量不足,资源分配不均。由于病床强度低,导致患者转移,icu经常被完全占用。通常,现有的程序需要几个小时才能找到一个有足够资源的空床位来治疗病人。它使病人处于危险之中,直到他到达接收医院的重症监护室。临床文件不完善,医院间医务人员沟通不畅,也严重影响了用药。这就是“Sathkaara”发挥作用的地方。这为医院网络中的ICU提供了一个实时的基于web的系统来更新ICU床位和资源的可用性。因此它有能力寻找远处的床和资源。像CT和MRI扫描仪这样的特殊设备将需要诊断,这些信息的可用性也至关重要。这将使会诊医生能够迅速寻找具有必要设施的医院。在转移病人之前,可以告知医院使用这些设备的要求。医生的资格和ICU病房的专业领域的详细信息将被捕获,这些信息可以在转移病人之前参考。通过电子记录向接收医院发送有关患者临床状况的信息的能力使接收医院的工作人员能够在患者到达之前提前做好准备。“Sathkaara”确保通过减少患者转移障碍和最大限度地利用现有ICU设施来挽救危重患者的生命,从而使患者能够及时接受治疗。

'Sathkaara': an e-facility for optimising ICU bed usage
Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is the most demanded ward for critical patients. Patients who need continuous monitoring and special life support are admitted to ICU. Most of the ICUs in the world have a problem of inadequate resources. Due to heavy cost of ICUs, in Sri Lanka, ICUs are insufficient and resources are unequally distributed. ICUs are often fully occupied because of the low bed strength which leads to patient transfers. Typically, existing procedure takes hours to find a vacant bed with adequate resources to treat the patient. It puts the patient in danger until he reaches the ICU of the receiving hospital. Poor clinical documentations and poor communication among inter hospital medical staff also badly affect the medication. This is where “Sathkaara” comes into action. This provides a real time web based system for the ICUs in hospital network to update the ICU bed and resource availability. Hence it has the ability to search for beds and resources which are at a distance. Special equipment like CT and MRI scanners will require diagnosis, where the availability of this information is also critical. This will allow consultants to search for a hospital with necessary facilities quickly. The hospital can be informed on the requirement for using these equipment before transfering the patient. Details of doctors’ qualifications and specialised areas in the ICU ward will be captured where this information could be referred to before transferring a patient. Ability to send information regarding a patient’s clinical condition through electronic records to the receiving hospital allows the receiving hospital staff to prepare early before the patient arrives. “Sathkaara” ensures saving lives of critical patients through reducing the barriers in patient transfers and the maximum utilisation of the available ICU facilities, so that the patient will receive treatment without delays.
