Paper Abstract:
|
The study reported in this paper aimed to evaluate if Personal Health Records (PHR) can contribute for the communicating and sharing of clinical information between patients, their informal caregivers, and speech and language therapy (SLT) professionals. Questionnaires were passed out to SLT professionals of different domains (ie, assessments of dysphagia, aphasia and language disorders, and language interventions with children) in order to identify their information requirements. Afterwards, using the Unified Modelling Language (UML), Electronic Health Records (EHR) information models were defined and a deeper analysis was performed in order to determine the type of information that patients, their informal caregivers, and SLT professionals need to communicate and share. The results suggest the importance of the PHR to complement EHR and, therefore, to support the clinical practice in the studied SLT domains. |
