CONCLUSIONS

Major advantages in this application, setting aside programming techniques, are:

  • Standardisation needing on several areas on public health. CEN is making a worthy effort, but most of the work is still to be done. Besides, standardised items are not operative, because of the use of olds systems.

  • Renounce of many users in using new and innovative, computer based tools.

  • Strict cost/benefit evaluation, with no foresees, which leads to prohibitive figures on every new developed prototype.

  • Non existent interfaces to medical devices, as electrocardiographs, echocardiographs, radiological systems, which makes it hard and difficult to append medical electronic data to patients database. Some of these problems have been overcame by using data acquisition boards or external image scanners.

Previously to the complete development of the application research has been made about its use on cardiac areas at hospitals. The Local Government Health Office, who made a poll among physicians to gather information about needing and expectation, backs this research. Additional research was made looking for similar applications on medical software market. Research is made on the University Clinical Hospital of Valencia about the HIS and CPR structure. Research about standards was made too, paying special attention to CEN standards. The prototype application is running at the Cardiology Service of the Hospital Clínico Universitario of Valencia, waiting for physicians to evaluate the usability, utility and functionality of the software.
