Modelling collaborative care information--the nursing perspective.
Collaborative care has been adopted by many countries as a preferred care delivery model to provide well coordinated holistic care to patients with chronic illnesses as they move between different healthcare sectors during the course of their illnesses. Effective communications and information exchange between collaborative care team members across the health care sectors is considered one of the critical success factors of collaborative care. This paper describes the adoption of a modified Health Level 7 development framework to analyze information exchange requirements, develop the standard clinical data contents and structures for populating the collaborative care messages. It also describes how example nursing data structures are mapped into sample Health Level 7 message segments.
