A laboratory information system (LIS) manages about patients, examinations, results, and quality control. In this context, software is important in order to prevent risks for the patient. Studies show that many LISs have a low degree, although ISO/IEC 25010 standard defines general, so far there no specific customization evaluation model tailored such systems. This paper presents case study applying customized - AdEQUATE evaluate of LIS widely used State Santa Catarina, Brazil LACEN from...

Nowadays, Stations (TTSs) used physicians educators with tools that concentrate integrate different technologies, contributing organize simplify their workload. To support scenarios involving features related teleconsultation tele-education, TTSs must consider the adoption of hardware platforms robust enough reach minimal requirements while providing service deliverability...

Poison Control Centres (PCCs) provide information and advise about poisoning, poisoning case management, toxicovigilance activities. They are supported by systems that help physicians toxicologists to attend cases of patient exposure poisonous agents. Still, there is no consensus on how evaluate software quality such systems. This work performs a study applying customized evaluation model -- the AdEQUATE in order assess poison control system widely used Brazil - DATATOX system. Analysing...

The management of data acquired in a daily basis, together with historical kept available during variable time frames, became practical concern to the healthcare practice. Data organized according DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications Medicine) standard contribute this scenario, demanding solutions for storage retrieval metadata images that lie beyond customary file system approach. As way experimentation, work defines implements model using NoSQL, row-store database, aiming evaluate its...

Abstract It is a common behavior for human beings to use gestures as means of expression, complement speaking, or self-contained communication mode. In the field Human–Computer Interaction, this can be adopted build alternative interfaces, aiming ease relationship between element and computational element. Currently, various gesture recognition techniques are described in technical literature; however, validation studies these usually performed isolatedly, which complicates comparisons them....

In the literature, PACS and Telemedicine are located in different or complementary works. However, when integrated as part of same solution, both contribute to healthcare process a whole. This work describes experience on integrating infrastructure statewide telemedicine system, allowing latter benefit from concepts defined by former terms acquisition, transmission storage digital images. The obtained results attest viability such approach, construction robust, scalable, secure solution...

Telemedicine and Telehealth Stations (TTSs) are used to provide physicians with tools that simplify their workload, increasing the range of areas covered by services offered those kinds equipments. To support this scenario, stations must have a high external quality in order improve user experience accession speed up workflow due an easy-to-use platform. Based on that, work presents evaluation for developed TTS context State Integrated System (STT/SC). accomplish we applied AdEQUATE model,...

Telepathology systems (TPS) can improve and accelerate the process of diagnosis, particularly in those complex cases where second expert/specialized opinion is required. To support scenarios involving cases, a TPS must provide collaborative virtual microscopy communication between pathologists to reporting, while guaranteeing good degree image quality order enable evaluation microscopic details. The development TPSs large telemedicine environments has not yet been addressed properly. With...

Large-scale telemedicine systems provide extensive amounts of data that can be used to gather epidemiological information. Epidemiologists have been using GIS for the easy and quick visualization perform georeferenced analysis. This paper presents GISTelemed, a analysis tool developed as part Santa Catarina State Integrated Telemedicine Telehealth System (STT/SC), statewide infrastructure in Brazil. The GISTelemed module offers an architecture supporting real-time recovery, information from...

This work presents a systematic review of state-of-the-art usability heuristics in the area clinical laboratories, and compiles evaluates customized for laboratory systems by unifying mapping them. In addition, resulting set is evaluated through case study comparing results from application tests.

DICOM structured reports (DICOM SR) are a set of standard-compliant practices dedicated to provide pragmatic way create documents when medical data organization and storage an issue. In practice, it can be seen as guidelines that used by physicians in order report templates manipulated, filled stored data. Nowadays, systems implements SR with tools facilitate the construction organizing simplifying their workload. To support scenarios involving features related creation manipulation...

The lack of safe levels asbestos exposure and the long latency asbestos-related disease (ARD) makes workers’ health surveillance challenging, especially in lower-income countries. This paper aims to present recently developed Brazilian system for monitoring workers general population exposed (Datamianto), discuss main challenges opportunities surveillance. Methods: a descriptive study Datamianto development process, examining all stages planning, development, improvement, validation,...

Este artigo tem como base um estudo em que foram levantados e organizados termos do domínio da radiologia obstétrica e, então, foi identificado se os mesmos estão compreendidos quatro distintos vocabulários controlados: OntoNeo, RadLex, LOINC SNOMED. É apresentado o Sistema Integrado Catarinense de Telemedicina Telessaúde (STT/SC) projeto estruturação laudos exames obstétrica, bem contexto teórico ciência informação sobre controlados. Foram realizadas uma pesquisa campo para levantamento dos...

In order to reduce the effort in integration and actualization of heterogeneous healthcare legacy systems that should share a common database, we propose creation an interoperability bus using HL7 standard—the HL7Middleware. This is intermediate layer responsible for communication between health information medical equipment, called HL7Server. Connected use messaging semantics store retrieve data from database. We validate our approach with respect two different criteria: performance costs....

The Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) standard adopts files as individual, self-contained repositories for the storage of a mixed alphanumerical binary content regarding radiological images. Usually, groups DICOM are hierarchically organized studies series, physically disposed into filesystem directory trees. Despite its simplicity storing content, ordinary filesystems do not provide index capabilities allowing searches by – restricting access names file names. To...

A structured reporting system is a set of standard-compliant practices that guides the physicians in order to create documents, organizing and simplifying their workload. In spite this advantages, many still use conventional methods write findings, like free-text reports. One main reason for little convention on how disseminate routine report environment. This work proposes systematic approach migrate from reports reports, focusing DICOM Structured Reporting guidelines. To evaluate proposal,...

Even with the many advantages of adopting a structured reporting system, there is little convention on how to disseminate this routine into report environment. This work proposes systematic approach migrate system from free-text reports reports, focusing DI- COM Structured Reporting guidelines. We evaluated proposal by creating module in context telemedicine and performing case study covering ultrasonography reports. Using AdEQUATE model, eval- uation showed high user perception directly...
