Tiivistelmä
The objective of this research was to propose appropriate software to enhance doctors’ performance. Furthermore, an important aspect of creating a unified database with electronic health records was discussed. Moreover, the study provides extensive information regarding the application of information systems in hospitals, hence creating the need to evaluate various ways in which the Russian healthcare system can be improved regarding records keeping. The research was performed at the case organization. The diffusion theory and qualitative research were the main methodologies throughout the work. The case companies’ employees and patients were interviewed in order to get a better understanding of their requirements, preferences, expectations and suggestions to the new system. Received data was analysed and used in research.
As a result of the qualitative research, integrated with interviews, the researcher suggested few existing systems that the case organization could use in the future work. Moreover, the screenshots and technical decisions on the new system development were offered. The detailed description of the paper-based records transfer, database forming and application implementation, results and propositions for the future are documented in this thesis.
On the basis of the findings, it can be recommended that it is highly important to change the old hospital system and include the Information Technology in the work of the hospital. It can be concluded that the healthcare industry has experienced the spread of innovations aimed at increasing life expectancy, quality of life, diagnostic and treatment options, as well as the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the health system. Therefore, Information Technology plays an important role in the innovation of health systems.
