Abstract | |
The Computer Assisted Surgery System (CAS) program specification provides the developer the processing details, programming details and design. The program specification is also provide the standards and procedures to be followed by the developer in order to produce quality products. The program specification is to cover every aspect of the development of Computer Assisted Surgery (CAS) system. Hospitals are known for having separate information systems across various departments, which are usually heterogeneous in nature. Medical experts could benefit greatly from the integration of these islands, but the heterogeneity of the sources or databases often impedes this. Most cardiothoracic units use isolated heterogeneous systems to keep patients records as well as to support the experts when deciding for cardiothoracic surgery. These include patient information system, lab results for x-ray, angiography, echocardiogram, blood etc. All these information are stored in and as such, a user would have to log-in and log-out from one system to another, to monitor or trace a patient medical record. Since existing systems are isolated, most of the time the hardcopy of reports from the various systems are printed and compiled as one huge patient file. Should a patient be moved from one unit to another, the hardcopy file would also be transferred or moved. The tendency for this file to be lost or misplaced is really high. Therefore, by introducing integration of heterogeneous medical databases, it could assist medical experts either before or after cardiothoracic surgery, be it of data collection, and or decision support system. Databases could be accessed and updated in one place and at the same time there would not have to repeat the same data entry into separate systems. Thus minimizing errors and risks, saves cost, better and improve patient faster decision making are among the benefits to be favored by medical experts when implementing integrated heterogeneous medical databases. | |
