This document discusses consumer health informatics, which analyzes consumers' needs for health information, studies how to make information accessible to consumers, and integrates consumer preferences into medical information systems. It provides definitions of consumer health informatics from various sources and discusses how it relates to public health informatics. It also outlines topics covered in a textbook on consumer health informatics, including empowering consumers and the role of the internet in potentially "disintermediating" health professionals by providing consumers direct access to information.
MHealth or Mobile Health is an emerging and an innovative of medication in India, by doctors can communicate and treat their patients very conveniently even from far distances.

Interoperability is one of the most critical issues facing the health care industry today. A universal exchange language is needed to assist health care providers in sharing health information in order to coordinate diagnosis and treatment, while maintaining privacy and security of personal data. Health Information Exchanges (HIE) allow for the movement of clinical data between disparate systems; they enable providers to electronically share health records through a network. This presentation provides an overview of HIE and the Meaningful Use requirement related to the exchange of clinical information as well as information about standards of exchange and the recommended "next steps" for providers.

A keynote address made at the 2013 Transnational Summit of Trustworthy use of Data for Health. It was a provocative speech as it compare the abuse of health data with the abuse of natural resources extracted from countries through manipulation of people without giving them back any of the benefits of the resources they give. Big data in health, unethical use of data and the need for better regulations and ethical principles.
Social media is becoming more important in the healthcare field. But, there are legal implications to using social media tools of which those in the industry should be aware.

Low Functional health literacy is a problem affecting 90 million residents of the United States. Among the 90 million, 36% are adults who have “below basic” health literacy skills. Assessing health literacy is important in improving health behaviors, health outcomes, and perceived communication barriers related to health. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act enacted in 2010 brought about changes that demand a more coordinated approach to manage health care services. This research focused on the efforts being made to promote health literacy at Medicaid health homes such as Greater Buffalo United Accountable Healthcare Network (GBUAHN). This research consisted of observation of Patient Health Navigator interactions with patients in order to identify best practices of health literacy initiatives within GBUAHN. Results suggest best practices include promoting and establishing relationship to effectively enhance patients understanding of all their healthcare needs. This study suggests that GBUAHN should continue making use of recommendations related health literacy promotion while exploring areas of improvement as noted on scorecard. Patient Health Navigators are engaging patient in manner that will establish adherence within patients.

Overview of Health Informatics: survey of fundamentals of health information technology, Identify the forces behind health informatics, educational and career opportunities in health informatics.
Researchers and public health practitioners increasingly use Internet big data as data source. What are some of the ethical problems, and how should they be tackled? The author advocates the creation of a self-regulatory body of researchers, a code of conduct, and a notice/opt-out infrastructure, to avoid a public backlash against social media tracking/monitoring for public health, similar to the Facebook fiasko in 2014 (Cornell study).

Open Access Publishing - The Journal of Medical Internet ResearchGunther Eysenbach
A presentation about the Journal of Medical Internet Research, a founding member of the Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association (OASPA) - A contribution to Open Access Week 2010!
10 Years Experience in Pioneering Open Access Publishing in Health Informatic...Gunther Eysenbach
Peer-reviewed journals remain important vehicles for knowledge transfer and dissemination in health informatics, yet, their format, processes and business models are changing only slowly. Up to the end of last century, it was common for individual researchers and scientific organizations to leave the business of knowledge transfer to professional publishers, signing away their rights to the works in the process, which in turn impeded wider dissemination. Traditional medical informatics journals are poorly cited and the visibility and uptake of articles beyond the medical informatics community remain limited. In 1999, the Journal of Medical Internet Research (JMIR; http://www.jmir.org) was launched, featuring several innovations including 1) ownership and copyright retained by the authors, 2) electronic-only, "lean" non-for-profit publishing, 3) openly accessible articles with a reversed business model (author pays instead of reader pays), 4) technological innovations such as automatic XML tagging and reference checking, on-the-fly PDF generation from XML, etc., enabling wide distribution in various bibliographic and full-text databases. In the past 10 years, despite limited resources, the journal has emerged as a leading journal in health informatics, and is presently ranked the top journal in the medical informatics and health services research categories by impact factor. The paper summarizes some of the features of the Journal, and uses bibliometric and access data to compare the influence of the Journal on the discipline of medical informatics and other disciplines. While traditional medical informatics journals are primarily cited by other Medical Informatics journals (33%-46% of citations), JMIR papers are to a more often cited by "end-users" (policy, public health, clinical journals), which may be partly attributable to the "open access advantage".
This presentation was given at Medinfo 2010 (13th World Congress on Medical and Health Informatics) in Cape Town in September 2010.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
