Zusammenfassung

Vor dem Hintergrund der zunehmenden, aber auch zögerlichen Einführung telematischer/telemedizinischer Medien in das Gesundheitswesen wurde eine deskriptive Analyse der Literatur (Review) zur Versorgungsforschung über ausgewählte diesbezügliche Anwendungen durchgeführt. Die Ergebnisse dieses Überblicks werden unter den Gesichtspunkten der Nutzungscharakteristika, der Prozess- und der Outcomeforschung an den Beispielen elektronischer Entscheidungssysteme, elektronischer Patientenakten (EPA) und elektronischer Verschreibungen (CPOE) referiert. Als Ergebnis zeigt sich, dass es sehr wenige empirische Versorgungsforschungsstudien zur Gesundheitstelematik gibt und dass nur ein kleiner Anteil der Ärzte, die z. B. elektronische Patientenakten eingeführt haben, komplexere Funktionen dieser Systeme nutzt. Derzeit gibt es kaum Evidenz dafür, dass die Implementation telematischer/telemedizinischer Systeme einen Einfluss auf Ergebniskriterien der Versorgung (z. B. Reduktion von Behandlungsfehlern) besitzt, mit Ausnahme einiger Studien zu elektronischen Entscheidungssystemen.

Abstract

The current descriptive review summarizes health service research in the area of telemedicine and health telematics with respect to the increasing, but slow implementation of health telematics in medical care. Findings of the review are summarized under three areas: the prevalence and use of three selected applications (computerized physician prescriptions, electronic health records, and electronic decision support). Findings of the review show that there is only very limited research on the impact of telemedicine on routine care in the selected study areas. In general, only a small percentage of physicians actively use the more comprehensive functions of electronic health records or electronic prescribing and there is almost no evidence showing a relationship between outcomes of health care and the implementation of electronic health records on a broad level despite some evidence concerning the impact of clinical decision support.
