The document discusses health informatics, which involves the intersection of information science, computer science, and healthcare. It aims to optimize the acquisition, storage, retrieval and use of health information. Key aspects of health informatics include electronic health records, using data to support public health systems and analyses, and mobile technologies for health information. Informatics helps ensure information technology is applied appropriately in healthcare. Principles of health informatics include using data driven by healthcare needs and decisions, adopting open standards to allow interoperability, incremental strengthening of existing systems, and collaborative communities of practice.
eHealth Practice in Europe: where do we stand?chronaki
eHealth as the use of Information and communication technologies in the practice of health care comprises Electronic health records, Healthcare information exchange cross-jurisdictions, Personal health records, Telehealth, telemedicine and remote monitoring.
There are several efforts to reflect and measure the practice of eHealth including efforts by the OECD and WHO, but in general there is little reported sharing of health data particularly with patients. Specific barriers frequently mentioned are supporting policies and coherent widely implemented standards.
The presentation discusses relevant efforts and programs supported by the European Commission such as the eHealth DSI, eStandards, ASSESS CT, and openMedicine aiming at large scale eHealth adoption It calls for engagement of European Society, its national societies, and its members.

Digital health innovation - future nhs stage, 1pm, 2 september 2015NHS England
Expo is the most significant annual health and social care event in the calendar, uniting more NHS and care leaders, commissioners, clinicians, voluntary sector partners, innovators and media than any other health and care event.
Expo 15 returned to Manchester and was hosted once again by NHS England. Around 5000 people a day from health and care, the voluntary sector, local government, and industry joined together at Manchester Central Convention Centre for two packed days of speakers, workshops, exhibitions and professional development.
This year, Expo was more relevant and engaging than ever before, happening within the first 100 days of the new Government, and almost 12 months after the publication of the NHS Five Year Forward View. It was also a great opportunity to check on and learn from the progress of Greater Manchester as the area prepares to take over a £6 billion devolved health and social care budget, pledging to integrate hospital, community, primary and social care and vastly improve health and well-being.

Med Device Vendors Have Big Opportunities in Health IT Software, Services, an...Shahid Shah
If you’re in the medical device manufacturing or hardware sales business your revenue growth (CAGR) is under pressure like never before. You’re being asked to do more with less but you’re probably going to find that hard to accomplish because of one or more of the following challenges:
* Longer product development timelines caused by more FDA and other government regulations
* Increased demand by customers to have your devices deliver user experiences that are more like “consumer” devices such as cell phones and tablets
* Lower margins as a reaction to commodity competition (your sensor hardware business will be commoditized faster and faster over time)
* More complex and longer sales cycles because devices are now being approved for sale not by facilities and clinical executives alone but increasingly by CIOs and IT teams
* Increased cost of risk management and compliance caused by connectivity requirements
Any one of these challenges is difficult to meet but these days you’re probably being asked to meet more than one simultaneously. The solutions are not simple but the good news is that medical device manufacturers have many revenue generation opportunities today that can fund the new strategic imperatives you’ll need to put into place to meet the challenges listed above.
This briefing, presented by Netspective CEO Shahid Shah, describes some of the opportunities and how device vendors can take advantage of them.
Quality Improvement Strategies: quality improvement tools, factors that help to create and sustain Healthcare Informatics as a new field. quality improvement cycle: PDCA (Plan, Do, Check, Act) Cycle.
HealthCursor Consulting Group India- Mobile Health is going to be a 3000 crore market in India by 2017. (Source PwC). M-health (use of mobile phones) and E-health are all set to make an entry into India's primary health centres (PHCs) and sub-centres as the health ministry plans to go hi-tech. Healthcare industry is expected to show a strong growth of 23% per annum to become a US$ 77 billion industry by 2012. One of the largest sector in terms of revenue and employment has grown at 9.3% per annum between 2000-2009 with a current size at par with fastest growing developing country like China, Brazil and Mexico.Driven by various catalysts such as increasing population, rising income levels, changing demographics and illness profile with a shift from chronic to life style diseases, healthcare industry is expected to move to levels of US$ 77 billion in next 3 years. (Source: ASSOCHAM).
Empowering rural India is of utmost importance and the government needs to do so by provisioning for broadband penetration and financial inclusion. Access to quality health care is another key to achieving rural empowerment. The budget for this segment was raised marginally last year and it would be good to have an allocation for rural health care programs with provisions for technology that would help modernize this sector to expand its reach through remote healthcare solutions and telemedicine.
Furthermore, the government announced a big budget campaign 'Swabhimaan' in the budget last year to promote banking and provide services to about 20,000 villages. In order to meet this goal, the budget this year too would need to make provisions accordingly. The steering committee on health said that in the 12th plan (2012-17), all district hospitals would be linked to leading tertiary care centres through telemedicine, Skype and similar audio visual media. M-health will be used to speed up transmission of data. Disease surveillance will be put on a GIS platform.
Disease surveillance based on reporting by providers and clinical laboratories (public and private) to detect and act on disease outbreaks and epidemics would be an integral component of the system.India will also put in place a Citizen Health Information System (CHIS) - a biometric based health information system which will constantly update health record of every citizen-family. The system will incorporate registration of births, deaths and cause of death. Maternal and infant death reviews, nutrition surveillance, particularly among under-six children andwomen, service delivery in the public health system, hospital information service besides improving access of public to their own health information and medical records would be the primary function of the CHIS.
Economies of Indian states can grow 1.08 per cent faster with every 10 per cent increase in Internet and broadband connections.

- To understand the elements of Health Informatics
- To understand the Health Informatics Context
Performance Objectives:
- Be able to look at a health information system and list the key elements that need to be examined.
- Understand some of the health informatics issues.
Health care, health management, health policy and health planning all depend on having good information to make decisions.
I have been working in health informatics for thirty years. Twenty years of that have been in international health. I firmly believe that improving information leads to better health.
The Health Informatics Series will explore different dimensions of informatics to give you information you can use to build better information systems and improve health.
I have degrees in engineering and medicine. I started by founding a company in the US which gave doctors health information tools. I have worked internationally with The World Bank, The Asian Development Bank, The World Health Organization and bilateral aid organizations including USAID, Australia AID.
Multidisciplinary discipline/study/profession/approach of how people transform technology and how technology transforms people
Lies at the intersection of people, technology and information systems and focuses on the expanding relationship between information systems and the daily lives of real people
Helps develop new/better uses for information technology (IT) in order to design solutions that reflect the way people create, use and find information, and it takes into account the social, cultural, political and organizational settings in which those solutions will be used
Informatics includes the use of computers for change management, human-computer interactions, communications, risk management, organizational behavior, workflow redesign, productivity improvement, and organizational culture, safety, and quality.
The CDC NCPHI has a health informatics mission that it defines with these functions:
Since the term eHealth is widely used, it is useful to define it also and it's relationship to health informatics.
Unfortunately, the term eHealth has many informal meanings so it is difficult to define clearly and can lead to confusion.
eHealth has been applied to: telemedicine, patient centered health records and information access, health data collections, research using electronic records, and many other areas.
We prefer to use the more precise term health informatics to define the collection, manipulation, and use of health information.
Informatics is the collection, manipulation and use of information.
Information Technology is the hardware and software that Informatics uses.
There is debate about whether to call paper records an "information system" or "information technology" and whether or not it can be considered part of "informatics".
I believe that paper records should be considered part of the information system and should be considered as part of "health informatics". I would probably draw the line at considering it "information technology" (unless you have a very low bar for defining technology).
Acquisition: capture data taking care to strive for quality (accurate, timely, reliable, complete)
Storage: save data so that it can be retrieved (the key term here is retrieval… the trash bin will store data but it is difficult to retrieve)
Communication: Data needs to be moved from point of collection to storage, for analysis, and finally to point of use (this may a very short distance and time where data is used near collection point or may be widely separated points.)
Manipulation: data usually needs to be manipulated in some way, combined with other data, aggregated, or compared
Display: How can the data be best displayed so that it can be easily understood and acted upon?
We spend so much time looking at aggregate indicators that sometimes we forget:
- Data comes from individual people.
It is now becoming more necessary and feasible to:
- record information about individual people.
- share information at all levels (from individual patient care to management to planning to monitoring)
HIS stack now includes individual patient records in addition to community, facility, district, and national systems.
Traditionally, public health informatics has included only aggregate indicators such as those routinely collected from facilities on attendance, services, diseases.
However, chronic diseases such as HIV/AIDS, MDR TB, as well as diabetes, hypertension have made it essential to include individual medical records in health informatics.
Principles to apply health informatics.
This is the fundamental process that SHOULD take place for information system design.
START with the decision
Then, what data do we need?
How are we going to collect, store, communicate, analyze and present the information so that the decision can be made?
Ideally, the presentation should show a clear decision.
The goal should not be to implement a single system but to encourage the development of interoperable systems.
Don't reinvent the wheel. Especially don't reinvent the wheel BADLY.
There is a lot of very capable open source software that is suitable for use in health informatics systems.
Make sure that you get maximum return on the system investment you make today by ensuring that you and others can reuse your developments.
Developers should work for you. Make sure that you control the process.
Often the decision on software is presented as a "build vs. buy" decision where you look for software that meets your needs and then buy it or you don't find software that meets your needs and then you have to build it from scratch.
There is another option that is increasingly attractive. This is the "modify" option. You can start with software that meets some of your needs or which has a useful basic architecture and then modify it to meet all of your needs. This option is difficult with commercial proprietary software which requires that the vendor be agreeable to make the changes. (Often local vendors are not skilled or not permitted to make changes.) However, with open source software, you have access to the underlying instructions "source code" to the software so it becomes a much more feasible project to make the changes yourself or to hire someone to make the changes.
Another advantage of this option is that the investment you make in changes to the software accrue to the benefit of you and others who use the software, rather than being locked up in a proprietary system
OpenMRS development and implementation communities
Scalable sharing of resources
Everyone can benefit and build on the efforts of others in the group.
Successful collaboration requires leadership.
