Data SetsUniform data set is a minimum set of items of information with uniform definition and categories, concerning the specific dimension of the service or practice setting that meets the essential information needs of multiple data users within the scope of the service or practice setting.
Criteria that define a data set may include:• Utility for multiple users• Terms that can be defined and measured• Common or shared language that is universally
understood • Relevance to national or local needs• Uniformity with other applicable data sets• Data can be structured in compliance with Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)• Data can be collected easily and accurately through the
functions of service delivery

Selected Data Sets The nursing minimum data set (NMDS) developed by
Werley and Lang(1988) was designed for all healthcare settings but focused primarily on the hospital setting.
1. Uniform Data Set for Home Care And Hospice Organizational Individual
2. Outcome and Assessment Information Set (OASIS) Outcome- Based Quality Improvement (similar to a data set) It included two components: outcome analysis outcome enhancement
![Page 5: CHAPTER 22 COMMUNITY HEALTH APPLICATIONS. CHN Is a synthesis of nursing practice and public health practice applied to promoting and preserving the health](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56649efd5503460f94c1200f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Four- prong effort to improve the quality of care for consumers:
Regulation and enforcement activities conducted by state survey agencies and CMS
Improved consumer information on the quality of care provided by HHAs
Continual community-baes quality improvement programs for HHAs
Collaboration and partnership to leverage knowledge and resources (CMS,2003)
3. Health Plan Employer Data and Information Set (HEDIS)

Vocabulary Languages
Are validated clinical reference languages, taxonomies, or terminologies that make healthcare knowledge more usable and accessible.
2 Common Nursing Vocabularies or Taxonomies in use for CHN:
Clinical Care Classification (CCC) system
Omaha System
![Page 7: CHAPTER 22 COMMUNITY HEALTH APPLICATIONS. CHN Is a synthesis of nursing practice and public health practice applied to promoting and preserving the health](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56649efd5503460f94c1200f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Clinical Care Classification SystemPreviously known as the HHCC (Home Health Care Classification).
CCC is designed to document, code, and classify for computer-processing patient care in any clinical setting by any healthcare provider using standardized framework.
Consisting of 2 interrelated taxonomies:CCC of Nursing Diagnosis
CCC of Nursing Interventions
![Page 8: CHAPTER 22 COMMUNITY HEALTH APPLICATIONS. CHN Is a synthesis of nursing practice and public health practice applied to promoting and preserving the health](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56649efd5503460f94c1200f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
CCC of Nursing Diagnoses-consist of 182 (59 major and 123 subcategories) nursing
diagnoses and /or patient problems.
3 modifiers:• Improve patient’s condition• Stabilize patient’s condition• Support the patient’s deteriorating condition
CCC of Nursing Interventions-consists of 198 (72 major and 126 subcategories) nursing
interventions or services.
4 modifiers:Assess or monitor
Care or perform

CCC uses the nursing process for its conceptual model with different labels for its 6 phases
1. Care components (assessment)
2. Diagnoses / problems (diagnosis)
3. Expected outcome (outcome identification)
4. Nursing interventions (planning)
5. Type action (implementation)
6. Actual outcome (evaluation)
![Page 12: CHAPTER 22 COMMUNITY HEALTH APPLICATIONS. CHN Is a synthesis of nursing practice and public health practice applied to promoting and preserving the health](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56649efd5503460f94c1200f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
CCC Uses
• Used by numerous by vendors of IT systems to document healthcare manually or electronically.
• Used in all types of healthcare settings for documenting patient care and for implementing decision support and evidence-based practice modules.
• Used in numerous research studies such as a study by Holzemer of AIDs patients with pneumonia.
• Being used in nursing education.
![Page 13: CHAPTER 22 COMMUNITY HEALTH APPLICATIONS. CHN Is a synthesis of nursing practice and public health practice applied to promoting and preserving the health](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56649efd5503460f94c1200f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Clinical Care PathwayAn emerging use being offered by IT vendors for the
CCC is as an application for clinical care pathway (CCP).
A CCP can provide the standardized framework for linking and tracking the care process.
In a CCP, the 21 care components are used to correlate the assessment data for a medical condition.
The CCP is used to identify the interventions and type of actions needed for each encounter and /or visit for the episode of care or selected time periods.
The CCC is used to improved quality, ensure safety, measure outcomes, and/or determine acuity and cost.

Home Health Information SystemsTime- Sharing Systems- are computer based systems develop by service bureaus that are shared by many HHA’s.Stand- Alone Systems- are commercial systems developed for direct installation and implementation in an HHA.Portability of Data- can then be transferred remotely to the main database through a client server.Point-of-care Systems- offer software-aided care planning and critical pathways allowing for care delivery.
![Page 17: CHAPTER 22 COMMUNITY HEALTH APPLICATIONS. CHN Is a synthesis of nursing practice and public health practice applied to promoting and preserving the health](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56649efd5503460f94c1200f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Reimbursable Models- designed to furnish information essential for reimbursement of services provided to patients eligible for Medicare, Medicaid.Managed care- the increased of managed care in the home health arena and the PPS for home care services has had an impact on the financial and billing systems.Scheduling Systems- they are designed to scheduled the clinicians providing services with the patients requiring the visit matching the clinician capacity with the required patient care.
![Page 18: CHAPTER 22 COMMUNITY HEALTH APPLICATIONS. CHN Is a synthesis of nursing practice and public health practice applied to promoting and preserving the health](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56649efd5503460f94c1200f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Telemedicine -is being implemented to replace face-to-face home visits. It
refers to the electronic transfer of medical information and services (voice, data, and video) from one site to another using telecommunication technologies.
Technologies may include: Telemonitors with peripheral biometric attachments for
remotely monitoring biophysical parameters. Videophone with two-way audio-video connectivity which
allows for the visualization of client activity. In-home message devices with disease management
education, advise, and vital sign monitoring. Video cameras for monitoring all aspects of care delivery
particularly focusing on wound management and home care aide supervision.
PCs with Internet connectivity for supervised communication Video conferencing that allows clinicians, physicians, and
other healthcare providers to communicate about patient-specific care.

Community Health Telemedicine Systems
Communication telemedicine system link patients homes to health care facilities and healthcare professionals, home care workers to their supervisors, and patients and families with community resources.
![Page 20: CHAPTER 22 COMMUNITY HEALTH APPLICATIONS. CHN Is a synthesis of nursing practice and public health practice applied to promoting and preserving the health](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56649efd5503460f94c1200f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Internet ApplicationsUsing access to a computer terminal with internet applications
can be used by patients to 1. Assist in self-diagnosis and preventive medicine 2. Reduce unnecessary outpatient visits3. Provide self-directed triage4. Eliminate the “worried well” aspects of many patient-
provider interactions.
Benefits: Improved patient and provider satisfaction Patient time savings in tracking and receiving information Reduced need to see a healthcare provider “face to face” Increased reliance on computer-based information Reduced information calls More cost-effective care
![Page 21: CHAPTER 22 COMMUNITY HEALTH APPLICATIONS. CHN Is a synthesis of nursing practice and public health practice applied to promoting and preserving the health](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56649efd5503460f94c1200f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Telemedicine Devices
HHAs are increasingly using devices that allows healthcare providers to communicate with patients in their homes.
Communication technology is used to transmit x-rays, electrocardiograms, and other clinical data for analysis by specialists. Electronic healthcare allows rural professionals to “see” (via two-way interactive video) more clients without having to make “home visits,” thus saving travel time and ultimately cost.
![Page 22: CHAPTER 22 COMMUNITY HEALTH APPLICATIONS. CHN Is a synthesis of nursing practice and public health practice applied to promoting and preserving the health](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56649efd5503460f94c1200f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Community Health Network Systems
-is an innovative ambulatory care system specially developed to provide services by computer.
-system allows the subscribers to telephone for assistance and guidance on services offered via the terminal.
![Page 23: CHAPTER 22 COMMUNITY HEALTH APPLICATIONS. CHN Is a synthesis of nursing practice and public health practice applied to promoting and preserving the health](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56649efd5503460f94c1200f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
-system performs a triage of actions but not necessarily diagnoses. They include the ff:• Download the patient record from hospital to
the home database.• Enter a series of questions about symptoms
using expert system logic until the pathways are concluded.
• Track self-care and , depending on the responses to questions, call or make an appointment with a clinician.
• Provide additional information on the condition if self-care is chosen to assist the client to resolve the problems.

Home High-Tech Monitoring Systems
Home high-tech monitoring systems are using computers to link patients at home to healthcare facilities. They allow healthcare providers to monitor the progress of their patients. Monitoring systems are being used not only for diagnosis and treatment but also for prevention.
Educational Technology Systems
Educational technology applications provide communication linkages, information access, and educational materials. These technologies meet the need for clients to reach beyond their environment to “see” and “hear”.
Future Trends
Community health information networks will link multiple providers, patients information, and regulatory bodies on a single system allowing for integration of data, continuity of care, and the tracking of outcomes across service providers.

AMBULATORY CARE SYSTEM
![Page 26: CHAPTER 22 COMMUNITY HEALTH APPLICATIONS. CHN Is a synthesis of nursing practice and public health practice applied to promoting and preserving the health](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56649efd5503460f94c1200f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
On April 27, 2004, President George Bush announced a goal to established electronic health records (EHRs) for all citizens within a 10 year time frame. One responsibility for the national coordinator is to improve “the coordination of care and information among hospitals, laboratories, physician offices, and other ambulatory care providers through an effective infrastructure for the secure and authorized exchanged of health care information”
The report identifies four major goals, with strategic action areas for each (Decade, 2004):Goal 1: Inform Clinical PracticeGoal 2: Interconnect cliniciansGoal 3: Personalize CareGoal 4: Improve population health

Pressures to control utilization
Protection of confidential information.
Applications Necessary in the Ambulatory Environment
Registration
Billing accounts receivable
Accounts payable
Patient and staff scheduling
Managed care functionality
![Page 29: CHAPTER 22 COMMUNITY HEALTH APPLICATIONS. CHN Is a synthesis of nursing practice and public health practice applied to promoting and preserving the health](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56649efd5503460f94c1200f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Benefits by using electronics records:1. Financial Benefits
2. Administrative Benefits
3. Clinical Benefits
Regulatory requirementsAccounting for costs can be aided by information technology. Systems must support the resource based relative value scale (RBRVS) and the relative value unit (RVU).
Implementation Issues and ChallengingIn 2004, there was a long way to go in implementing clinical EHRs in the ambulatory arena. Based on 7,808 ambulatory care facilities, in 2004 84% were not automated, 13% had software installed, and 3% had a contract signed but the software was not implemented. Only 7% planned to purchase software.
![Page 30: CHAPTER 22 COMMUNITY HEALTH APPLICATIONS. CHN Is a synthesis of nursing practice and public health practice applied to promoting and preserving the health](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56649efd5503460f94c1200f/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
The Role of the Nurse Using Informatics Concepts in the Ambulatory ArenaThe nurse is a user of the data contained in automated
systems.
OBJECTIVES: Is to take the data and put it together in meaningful ways, making information.
An automated system can help in this management of data and the transformation from data to information to knowledge.
A nurse may be involved in the selection of an automated system based on a needs assessment of the environment.
All nurses must be mindful of the impact of the information system on the confidentiality and security of information.

Future Directions for the Adoption of Information Technology in Ambulatory CareThe goals set by President Bush and the
appointment of Dr. David J. Brailer as the national coordinator will inject momentum into the adoption of automated systems into ambulatory care. There is a move to use computerized provider order entry (CPOE) systems in ambulatory care. The biggest area of impact is that of medication safety where it is thought that adverse drug events could be prevented.
Some ambulatory practices are using electronic mail, computer interviewing, voice recognition, handwriting, recognition, smart card technology, wireless devices, and biometrics.
