Abstract:
Polypathological patients have a complex health scenario that is not generally well addressed by traditional Electronic Health Record systems. In order to treat chronic diseases that these patients have, there is a need for coordination and communication among health personnel of different levels of care (primary care, specialty care, home care) and distinct profiles. Also these healthcare professionals will require to do complex interactions such make shared decisions within their collaborative work. To enhance this coordination among healthcare professionals, we propose the idea of "Clinical Wall" as a 2.0 tool that allows professionals to debate, share knowledge and make decisions based on the clinical patient information.
