Architecting a cloud-based system for effective treatment planning in Emergency care among ESRD (Chronic Kidney Disease) patients Open Access
Daniel, Litty (Summer 2018)
Abstract
Background: Various medications are cleared by kidneys; therefore, dialysis patients are at risk for adverse drug events. Patients with end-stage renal disease need frequent, ongoing dialysis care and many end up in Emergency care due to other medical conditions. ER providers and dialysis providers are challenged by incomplete or delayed transfer of pertinent clinical data from hospitalizations. A system-thinking approach is needed to overcome the information gap between outpatient dialysis providers and hospitals sharing clinical information through a health information exchange (HIE). Use of cloud based datahub, and emerging HL7 FHIR messaging systems to transfer data in this will support in the architecting of this solution.
