Abstract:
Mobile care professionals are facing a great workload and a lack of information exchange with other health professionals. Documentation work is often done off-time due to minimal time resources. Information and communication technology support can bring improvements for home care and all stakeholders, but its full potential is not exhausted. This project, namely Linked Care, develops information technology systems that address practice-oriented challenges, increase digital data availability, and reduce the work-related burdens of health professionals as well as clients and their support systems. Experiences with existing IT-systems, including the current existing Austrian Electronic Health Record System, serve as a starting point to enable a continuous information supply in mobile care within the project. The solution will provide interdisciplinary support of relevant participants in the care process, offering a new type of responsive user interface. Linked Care investigates the end-users’ needs and specifies the processes in workshops with local representatives and regional administrators. Therefore, the solution allows for the exchange and evaluation of care data via standardized interfaces throughout Austria while taking the socio-economic, regional, and national environments into account. The project will create a software portal that can be linked to existing systems. The project consortium parties ensure the development of the solution as a business model. The generated Care Summary creates new possibilities for data exchange within the health care sector. In conclusion, Linked Care is the digital solution, which needs to be implemented in mobile care and support as it enables a precise and rapid communication transfer.
