Abstract

 Background and Aim: To optimize emergency services depend s on appropriate management structures and efficient and effective information system design . This study aim ed to investigate emergency department staff's information needs of emergency information system and to design a conceptual model of these needs.

 Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was performed among nurses and emergency medicine professionals working in emergency units of 9 hospitals affiliated to Tehran and Shahid Beheshti U niversities of M edical S ciences . Data w ere collected by interviewing 25 staff members in the emergency department , model d esign by RUP method and UML language and questionnaire d istribution among 315 staff members in the emergency department. Data collected were analyzed by descriptive statistics and SPSS.

 Results: Most nurses and emergency medicine physicians believed that multiple data elements such as time of patient’s first visit and procedure , t he latest status of patient, medical procedure taken , and paraclinical procedure taken must exist in the emergency information system . Also 68.3% (108) of them agreed with the relationship between data elements required in the clinical practice process .

 Conclusion : It is concluded that the presence of identity , clinical , and paraclinical data in emergency information systems can produce an electronic medical record. According to these data, elements can improve the coordination between the hospital emergency and pre- hospital rescue teams , controlling of victim status , access to patient reports and quality of service to patients.

Abstract

Background and Aim: To understand veterans’ needs and to make future generations familiar with the culture of self-sacrifice and martyrdom, we need a database to store information. The first step for designing a base is to provide a conceptual framework of the base. This study aims to provide a conceptual model to create the national base of veterans in Iran. 
Materials and Methods: This research was conducted in a two-step, mixed approach. The first step was conducted using content analysis method (quantitative) and the second step using Delphi (qualitative) technique. Data collection tool was Excel 2016 software. With the help of Delphi technique, a researcher-made conceptual pattern was sent to the experts in three rounds. Based on their views, the final plan of national base of veterans was formed.
Results: Among the main components, introduction to the war was removed, history of war changed to history of wars, link to links, other materials to other contents, art and war to war and art, and the sub-component of possibilities turned into the main component. Veterans’ personal information turned into veterans’ database that changed into subsidiary components of the martyrs / veterans / prisoners-of-war / warriors database.
Conclusion: The main components of the conceptual pattern of national base of veterans of Iran include: home page, introduction, conflicts and operations, equipment, war zones, facilities, news, cemeteries of martyrs, veterans’ rules, questions and answers, history of wars, war and art, veterans’ database, archives, links, guide, contact with us, FAQs, other content, resources, about the base, search, map.

Abstract

Background and Aim: Atherosclerosis of coronary arteries is the most common heart disease and indication of coronary artery bypass graft(CABG). After CABG, patients need proper self-care and lifestyle changes to increase their quality of life. The present research aimed to the conceptual design of self-care Android software, focusing on the third phase of cardiac rehabilitation.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive research has been carried out in two main phases and a total of six steps in order to assess the informational and functional needs of self-care software and design its conceptual model. After searching in reliable scientific sources and guidelines and checking the available Persian software, through the content validity index questionnaire of Lavshe, Welts and Bassel, 23 people from the medical staff with a history of caring for heart patients participated in the step of determining the requirements and the results were analyzed using SPSS Software. Descriptive analysis was done. Finally, the software model was prepared using integrated modeling language and th mind map was drawn.
Results: Sixty two items were identified in 6 general categories (personal information, medical records, interventions, personal health record, essential information, emergency communication). In the phase of determining the requirements by the experts, 52 items were accepted and 10 items were included in the conceptual model of the application program with minor changes and revisions.
Conclusion: Using mobile health in self-care and cardiac rehabilitation will be a suitable solution in order to increase treatment, follow-up and optimal continuation of self-care in patients. By having different functions, this tool can facilitate lifestyle change and help patients in secondary prevention of cardiovascular events and improve their health.
