Health information use in chronic care cycles

Authors Info & Claims
Published:19 March 2011Publication History

ABSTRACT

A qualitative field study was conducted to explore the use of health information in the chronic care process. The findings show that health information is organized and used based on what we called chronic care cycles - the repeated rotations of a routine medical visit with the subsequent homecare period. We suggest that future system design consider chronic care cycles to facilitate the use of health information in managing chronic diseases.
