Implementing an Internet-Based Communication Network for Use during Skilled Nursing Facility to Emergency Department Care Transitions: Challenges and Opportunities for Improvement
Journal of the American Medical Directors Association, 2010Co-Authors: Fredric M. Hustey, Robert M. PalmerAbstract:Abstract Objectives To explore the feasibility of implementing an Internet-Based Communication network for Communication of health care information during skilled nursing facility (SNF)-to-ED care transitions, and to identify potential barriers to system implementation. Methods Qualitative. Setting The largest SNF affiliated with the ED of an urban tertiary care center. Participants Consecutive sample of all patients transferred from SNF to ED over 8 months between June 2007 and January 2008; ED and SNF care providers. Intervention The development and implementation of an Internet-Based Communication network for use during SNF-to-ED care transitions. This network was developed by adapting a preexisting Internet-Based system that is widely used to facilitate placement of hospitalized patients into SNFs. Internet-Based SNF and ED surveys were used to help identify barriers to implementation. Results There were 276/276 care transitions reviewed. The Internet-Based Communication network was used in 76 (28%) care transitions, with usage peaking at 40% near the end of the study. Barriers to success that were identified included lack of an electronic medical record (EMR) at the SNF; pervasive negative attitudes between ED and SNF personnel; time necessary for network use during care transitions; frustration by emergency physicians at low system usage rates by SNF personnel; and additional login requirements by ED personnel. Conclusions Although implementing an Internet-Based network for nursing home to ED Communication may be feasible, significant barriers were identified in this study that are likely generalizable to other health care settings. Understanding such barriers is an essential first step toward building successful electronic Communication networks in the future.

An Internet-Based Communication network for information transfer during patient transitions from skilled nursing facility to the emergency department.
Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, 2010Co-Authors: Fredric M. Hustey, Robert M. PalmerAbstract:OBJECTIVES: To determine whether the implementation of an Internet-Based Communication system improves the amount of essential information conveyed between a skilled nursing facility (SNF) and the emergency department (ED) during patient care transitions. DESIGN: Interventional; before and after. SETTING: ED of an urban teaching hospital with approximately 55,000 visits per year and a 55-bed subacute free-standing rehabilitation facility (the SNF). PARTICIPANTS: All patients transferred from the SNF to the ED over 16 months. INTERVENTION: An Internet-Based Communication network with SNF–ED transfer form for Communication during patient care transitions. MEASUREMENTS: Nine elements of patient information assessed before and after intervention through chart review. Secondary outcomes: changes in efficiency of information transfer and staff satisfaction. RESULTS: Two hundred thirty-four of 237 preintervention and all 276 postintervention care transitions were reviewed. The Internet Communication network was used in 78 (26%) of all care transitions, peaking at 40% by the end of the study. There was more critical patient information (1.85 vs 4.29 of 9 elements; P

The method of unified Internet-Based Communication for manufacturing companies
Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2004Co-Authors: Martin Ota, Ivan JelínekAbstract:In manufacturing companies there is a wide spectrum of software systems that operate with product data. It seems obvious that the interoperability and ability of data exchange, based on native formats of each system, is not possible. Fortunately there are a lot of data formats, such as STEP, VRML, XML-based and many others that help to solve the problem. However the Communication and the utilization of Communication channels are not so much unified and systematically used. We assume that the problem could be solved by the simple and unified Communication method, based on the modern Internet-Based approach. Its development is the aim of our research. This method should enrich the existing methods of Communication, not replace them. Our method is based on TCP/IP protocols and XML web services.

Developing an Internet-Based Communication system for residency training programs
Journal of General Internal Medicine, 2002Co-Authors: Auguste H. Fortin, Kristina Luzzi, Leslie Galaty, Jeffrey G. Wong, Stephen J. HuotAbstract:Administrative Communication is increasingly challenging for residency programs as the number of training sites expands. The Internet provides a cost-effective opportunity to address these needs. Using the World Wide Web, we developed a single, reliable, accurate, and accessible source of administrative information for residents, faculty, and staff in a multisite internal medicine residency at reduced costs. Evaluation of the effectiveness of the website was determined by tracking website use, materials and personnel costs, and resident, staff, and faculty satisfaction. Office supply and personnel costs were reduced by 89% and personnel effort by 85%. All users were highly satisfied with the web Communication tool and all reported increased knowledge of program information and a greater sense of “connectedness.” We conclude that an Internet-Based Communication system that provides a single, reliable, accurate, and accessible source of information for residents, faculty, and staff can be developed with minimum resources and reduced costs.
