Using Design Science Research Methodology to Implement a Surveillance and Decision-Support Information System to Manage Healthcare Associated Infections and Antibiotic use in Hospitals

  • Autores: Lapão L, Pinto P, Silva MM, Simões AS
  • Ano de Publicação: 2016
  • Journal: European Mediterranean & Middle Eastern Conference on Information Systems
  • Link: http://haitool.ihmt.unl.pt/papers/EMCIS_2016.pdf

About thirty seven thousand people die per year in Europe due to infections caused by antibiotic resistant bacteria. Combating antimicrobial resistance is a world top priority so that lives can be saved and associated costs reduced. Indiscriminate antibiotic prescription is an additional and unnecessary selection pressure that accelerates the development of antibiotic resistant bacteria. In […]

IT Governance Maturity Patterns in Portuguese Healthcare

  • Autores: Lapão L, Pereira R, Silva MM
  • Ano de Publicação: 2016
  • Journal: IGI Global
  • Link: https://www.igi-global.com/gateway/chapter/166888

The pervasive use of technology in organizations to address the increased services complexity has created a critical dependency on Information Technology (IT) that calls to a specific focus on IT Governance (ITG). However, determining the right ITG mechanisms remains a complex endeavor. This paper uses Design Science Research and proposes an exploratory research by analyzing […]

Co-Design of a Computer-Assisted Medical Decision Support System to Manage Antibiotic Prescription in an ICU Ward

  • Autores: Gil M, Lapão L, Pinto P, Póvoa P, Silva MM, Simões AS
  • Ano de Publicação: 2016
  • Journal: Studies in Health Technology and Informatics
  • Link: http://haitool.ihmt.unl.pt/papers/HEC_2016.pdf

About 37 thousand people die per year in Europe due to infections by resistant bacteria. Fighting antimicrobial resistances (AR) is a top priority to save lives and reduce costs. AR is triggered mostly by uncritical antibiotic prescription. This paper presents HAITool, a decision-making information system to support antibiotic prescription. The system was co-developed together with […]
