Ambulatory Data System: A Case Study in the Compliance, Utilization and Data Accuracy of the Ambulatory Data System at Naval Hospital, Camp Lejeune, North Carolina

Abstract

The recent shift toward managed care, coupled with the increase in the requirement for detailed health care information has made the requirement for the capture of relevant health care data a high priority. The Navy Ambulatory Data System (ADS), was deigned to provide quality, real-time ambulatory data that would be useful for commanders to make resources decisions. Unfortunately, Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune has had many difficulties with ADS and the data compliance rate is well below the Surgeon Generals benchmarks. This case study reviews the hospitals ADS process and identifies the problems associated with ADS compliance. Finally, based on the results, recommendations have been made for compliance resolution.
