Axium from Exan and Salud from two-ten health are the 2 most known EHR design for dental school.
Did you know other products around the world used sucessfully by Dental School ?

Thank you.

The intent of this forum is for ideas on how to best use AxUim in clinical practice of Dental Institutions.

While the main intent of the forum is place for exchange of ideas for future improvement for the clinical aspects of AxUim by members of the Clinical Consortium, we welcome contributions from others on this subject.]]> John Gunsolley Clinical Consortium users group – AxUim Wed, 04 Apr 2012 08:43:51 -0400 http://dentalinformatics.org/forum/read.php?11,59,59#msg-59 http://dentalinformatics.org/forum/read.php?11,59,59#msg-59
Quite a few leading organizations in healthcare, such as HL7, IHTSDO, the NIH, NHS Connecting for Health and others, have chosen to pursue the Clinical Information Modeling Initiative (CIMI) (http://www.openehr.org/326-OE). From their Website:

"The Clinical Information Modeling Initiative is an international collaboration that is dedicated to providing a common format for detailed specifications for the representation of health information content so that semantically interoperable information may be created and shared in health records, messages and documents."

With this message, I wanted to make people aware of this effort since it will also affect dentistry. I also have a question.

One thing I'm wondering about is whether we really need another modeling effort for healthcare. I don't think we have a shortage of models. But, we do have is a shortage of very general, simple and effective ways to exchange health information.

I am wondering what people think about what strategy/ies would be most promising to get healthcare information exchange going at a broad and simple level. I'm not sure our current processes will get us there.

Thanks

since not many things have been published about EHRs in dental schools, I wanted to list a few publications that I knew of, in the hope that others might be able to add whatever else is out there:

- Walji et al. Factors influencing implementation and outcomes of a dental electronic patient record system. Journal of dental education 73(5):589-600, 2009 May (http://dentalinformatics.org/pubarchive/show_record.html?record_id=10077)

- Hill HK; Stewart DC; Ash JS: Health Information Technology Systems profoundly impact users: a case study in a dental school. Journal of dental education 74(4):434-45, 2010 Apr (http://dentalinformatics.org/pubarchive/show_record.html?record_id=9600)

- Atkinson JC; Zeller GG; Shah C: Electronic patient records for dental school clinics: more than paperless systems. Journal of dental education 66(5):634-42, 2002 May (http://dentalinformatics.org/pubarchive/show_record.html?record_id=10462)

So, if you have any other papers about EHRs in dental schools, please add them to this post.

Thanks

PS. Hi Tobias, thanks for your explanation of following topics from the other day. One problem that I am seeing is that it is not easy for DIOC members to follow things on the forum. Right now, you essentially have to check the forum manually when you want to see whether there are any new messages - too much work for pretty much everybody. I am not sure whether Jeannie has been in touch with you on this, but I think we should (1) allow DIOC members to follow the whole DIOC forum and/or (2) allow them to follow any of the subforums, like "Dental schools," "Dental software in practice," etc. This means that we have to make the "following" functionality available and obvious to use - for everybody. We should probably do some user testing on this.]]> Titus Schleyer EHR Forum Mon, 26 Dec 2011 09:35:57 -0500 http://dentalinformatics.org/forum/read.php?11,54,54#msg-54 http://dentalinformatics.org/forum/read.php?11,54,54#msg-54 Patrick Hetherington EHR Forum Sun, 18 Dec 2011 08:26:56 -0500 http://dentalinformatics.org/forum/read.php?11,48,48#msg-48 http://dentalinformatics.org/forum/read.php?11,48,48#msg-48
As you may know, currently most dental schools in the US have adopted Electronic Health Records (EHR) for patient care. In an effort to promote an open discussion about the use of EHR in clinical settings especially in dental schools, we are launching an online discussion forum at the Dental Informatics Online Community (DIOC) website [www.dentalinformatics.org]. We cordially invite you and your colleagues to post your comments and feedback on your experiences with your EHR in this forum. The objective of this forum is to foster an open communication on the use of EHR in dental school settings and collectively resolve and/or find solutions to issues related to using EHR in clinical settings.

Many studies in medicine demonstrate the benefits and drawbacks of using EHR for patient care. However, only limited studies are available on the use of EHR in dentistry. The DIOC was created with grant support from the National Library of Medicine (1-G08-LM-8667-1A1) to provide a networking platform for people interested in information technology in dentistry, to promote the development of dental information resources; and to disseminate research results and best practices. While COHRI is focused on research work towards standardization of information collected across dental schools, the forum in DIOC will provide a platform for dental educators, administrators, and technical staff to express the issues they face when interacting with EHR in their daily work. We envision that this online forum will fill the void of a venue that offers opportunity to discuss IT issues in clinical dentistry. In these difficult economic times, an online discussion forum provides a cost-effective and efficient means of communication among colleagues dispersed geographically.

We are interested in hearing your thoughts about this forum. So, please email or contact us.

Sincerely,

Drs. Heiko Spallek and Thankam Thyvalikakath]]> Thankam Thyvalikakath EHR Forum Fri, 24 Feb 2012 08:57:20 -0500 http://dentalinformatics.org/forum/read.php?7,40,40#msg-40 http://dentalinformatics.org/forum/read.php?7,40,40#msg-40

I'm interested in the types of data about patients and procedures that people are collecting, or think it would be good to collect.

Thanks everyone!

My most important considerations are open source as much possible (the database used, the program itself) and robust client/server capabilities, and price.

Secondary considerations are availability of support (in case of open source, well documented code or commercial support), ability to be linked to practice management software (OpenDental?), and image enhancement features.

Thanks and best wishes!]]> Jacob Eisdorfer Choosing a digital imaging software Thu, 08 Dec 2011 06:13:38 -0500 http://dentalinformatics.org/forum/read.php?13,13,13#msg-13 http://dentalinformatics.org/forum/read.php?13,13,13#msg-13

(Thanks Heiko!) .
I am a Health Sciences (Dental) student, next semester I will be studying Evidence Based Practice and Dental Informatics.
For the Dental Informatics module I am required to 'critique' a dental informatics 'online patient information system' and a dental informatics information system. I am unable to find any examples of these (or even definitions of the above terminology). It's the school summer holidays here at the moment (UK) and I was hoping to get a head start before next semester and as such I have no lecture notes as yet. I would be very grateful if someone could help. my email is dominic.j.kavanagh@gmail.com

Many Thanks,

Dominic]]> dominic kavanagh Off-topic Mon, 26 Mar 2012 03:13:21 -0400 http://dentalinformatics.org/forum/read.php?13,2,2#msg-2 http://dentalinformatics.org/forum/read.php?13,2,2#msg-2
