Base eletronica de dados clinicos e cirurgicos em isquemia cronica de membros inferiores

Abstract

Background: Electronic medical record systems may optimize future studies by improving speed, as well as data comparison and analysis. Objective: (a) To create a general database of clinical and surgical vascular diseases and select data from it to create a specific database of chronic lower limb ischemia; b) to store this database in the form of an electronic system; c) to incorporate this database into the Brazilian integrated electronic medical record system (SINPE © ); and (d) to conduct a pilot study to test the system. Methods: A general database of clinical vascular disease was created, and a specific system was developed to record the individual characteristics of the diseases that cause chronic ischemia of lower limbs. When completed, the database was incorporated into SINPE © . Results: For data collection, an authorized user enters patient data and creates a medical record for that patient. After that, chronic ischemia of lower limbs is selected in the master system to access clinical data. Aided by the autofill tool, the user selects only the data for that specific patient. Data may be retrieved for studies, to find out the number of entries that meet the chosen parameters, and to provide statistical information about them. Conclusion: (a) The theoretical database of clinical and surgical vascular diseases and the derived database of chronic lower limb ischemia were created; (b) the theoretical electronic database was created; c) the electronic medical records in both the master and the specific database were incorporated into SINPE © ; (d) the pilot study was successfully created and tested using the parser module of SINPE © .

Protocolo eletrônico multiprofissional de coleta de dados clínicos e cirúrgicos em insuficiência venosa crônica

“…Electronic protocols increase the precision of records, enabling prospective and multicenter studies, in addition to increasing the accuracy of scientific research. [29][30][31] However, use of the electronic protocol is in no way a substitute for patient medical records. The main difference between the two is that the protocol contains sources of information on a specific group of diseases, in contrast with patient medical records, which are specific to an individual patient and do not follow rigid completion criteria.…”

“…The aim of this gradual change is to rationalize the time spent in medical consultations and facilitate retrieval of patients' histories. [29][30][31]…”
