Telemedicine involves using telecommunication technologies to provide remote clinical healthcare. It overcomes barriers of distance and improves access to services for rural communities. There are three main types: interactive medicine with real-time communication between doctors and patients; remote patient monitoring using mobile devices; and store-and-forward sharing of health information. The first telemedicine system was set up in 1967 between Boston and Massachusetts. Telemedicine has advanced healthcare access and has limitations such as technical issues and state laws restricting access to out-of-state doctors.
Health information systems (HIS) allow for the optimization of healthcare information acquisition, storage, retrieval, and usage. Key advantages of HIS include centralized data access across locations, increased efficiency through easy access to patient records and test results, improved security and confidentiality of patient data, increased storage capabilities, and improved accuracy through automated flagging of abnormal test results. However, HIS implementation presents disadvantages as well, most notably very high upfront and ongoing costs. Learning new systems also presents a learning curve challenge for some. On balance, the advantages of data access, efficiency, and patient care improvements provided by HIS are worth the costs.

An ethnographic study of over 600 physicians during the implementation of a computerized physician order entry system at a hospital system found that process-related issues, rather than technological issues, were a major factor in 62% of observations of physician challenges. Specifically, the study found that inefficient or poorly designed ordering processes led physicians to write orders on paper instead of using the new system or to call in orders rather than enter them directly. The study concluded that healthcare organizations often overlook process design and focus too much on technology, risking implementation failures if workflow issues are not adequately addressed to gain physician buy-in.
Healthcare Transformation: The Journey of High-Value HealthcareHealth Catalyst
To manage population health, one needs to intimately understand the anatomy of healthcare and model how healthcare is delivered, in order to systematically improve healthcare outcomes. In this webinar, Dr. Burton draws on his 26-year executive career at Intermountain, Select Health, and Health Catalyst. He emphasizes the importance of linking administrative data (e.g., billing codes) to processes of clinical care to use the 80/20 principle to prioritize care processes within each venue to focus improvement initiatives on the things that matter most. He will also discuss a Clinical Integration framework to use in driving out waste by reducing variation in the ordering of care, the efficiency with which the care that is ordered is delivered and reducing defects in care delivery to make it safer.

Store-and-forward and home-based telemedicine have evidence for treating chronic diseases, while office/hospital telemedicine is effective for verbal interactions in specialties like neurology and psychiatry. Current trends include expanding telemedicine to more chronic conditions and migrating services from clinical settings to homes and mobile devices. However, reimbursement remains limited and fragmented while quality of remote care compared to in-person visits requires more evidence. Proper guidelines, standards, training and balancing innovation with risk-based regulation can maximize telemedicine's benefits while minimizing harms.
This document discusses digital health transformation and the role of health information technology. It begins by exploring concepts like artificial intelligence, blockchain, cloud computing and big data. It then examines the potential for "smart" machines in healthcare while acknowledging the complexities of digitizing such a system. The document emphasizes that clinical judgment is still necessary given variations in patients. It outlines components of healthcare systems and forms of health IT both within and beyond hospitals. Finally, it discusses using health IT to support clinical decision making and reduce errors.

This document provides an introduction to research ethics and ethics for health informaticians. It begins with definitions of ethics, morals, and norms. It then discusses the role of law, professional codes of conduct, and ethics in establishing standards of acceptable behavior. Key topics in research ethics are introduced through discussions of historic cases like the Nazi human experiments, Beecher's research ethics violations, and the Tuskegee Syphilis Study. The document outlines the Belmont Report's three ethical principles of respect for persons, beneficence, and justice. Ethical issues in health informatics like alerts fatigue from clinical decision support systems and unintended consequences of health IT are also discussed.

THE SPECIAL SENCES- Unlocking the Wonders of the Special Senses: Sight, Sound...Nursing Mastery
Title: Unlocking the Wonders of the Special Senses: Sight, Sound, Smell, Taste, and Balance
Introduction:
Welcome to our captivating SlideShare presentation on the Special Senses, where we delve into the extraordinary capabilities that allow us to perceive and interact with the world around us. Join us on a sensory journey as we explore the intricate structures and functions of sight, sound, smell, taste, and balance.
The special senses are our primary means of experiencing and interpreting the environment, each sense providing unique and vital information that shapes our perceptions and responses. These senses are facilitated by highly specialized organs and complex neural pathways, enabling us to see a vibrant sunset, hear a symphony, savor a delicious meal, detect a fragrant flower, and maintain our equilibrium.
In this presentation, we will:
Visual System (Sight): Dive into the anatomy and physiology of the eye, exploring how light is converted into electrical signals and processed by the brain to create the images we see. Understand common vision disorders and the mechanisms behind corrective measures like glasses and contact lenses.
Auditory System (Hearing): Examine the structures of the ear and the process of sound wave transduction, from the outer ear to the cochlea and auditory nerve. Learn about hearing loss, auditory processing, and the advances in hearing aid technology.
Olfactory System (Smell): Discover the olfactory receptors and pathways that enable the detection of thousands of different odors. Explore the connection between smell and memory and the impact of olfactory disorders on quality of life.
Gustatory System (Taste): Uncover the taste buds and the five basic tastes – sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and umami. Delve into the interplay between taste and smell and the factors influencing our food preferences and eating habits.
Vestibular System (Balance): Investigate the inner ear structures responsible for balance and spatial orientation. Understand how the vestibular system helps maintain posture and coordination, and explore common vestibular disorders and their effects.
Through engaging visuals, interactive diagrams, and insightful explanations, we aim to illuminate the complexities of the special senses and their profound impact on our daily lives. Whether you're a student, educator, or simply curious about how we perceive the world, this presentation will provide valuable insights into the remarkable capabilities of the human sensory system.
Join us as we unlock the wonders of the special senses and gain a deeper appreciation for the intricate mechanisms that allow us to experience the richness of our environment.

What Is “Informatics”
• French: informatique = the science and
technology of information processing using
computers (Greenes & Shortliffe, 1990)
• “[T]he discipline focused on the acquisition,
storage, and use of information in a specific
setting or domain” (Hersh, 2009)
• “[T]he science of information”
(Bernstam et al, 2010)
5. 5
Medical Informatics
• “Ancient” term
• Being retired
• Future use discouraged by experts
• Only retained in titles of professional
organizations
Main Problems
• Medical = Doctor? (e.g. not nursing?)
• Medical informatics vs. Clinical informatics
6. 6
Better Terms
• Biomedical informatics
• Health informatics
• Biomedical and Health informatics
A Few Subtleties
• Health informatics suggests the goal is “health”
• Health informatics vs Public health informatics
• Health informatics includes Bioinformatics?
• No clear winner between
Biomedical informatics vs. Health informatics
7. 7
But What Is M/B/H Informatics Anyway?
• Medical computing/computers in medicine?
• ‘[R]eferring to biomedical informatics as
“computers in medicine” is like defining
cardiology as “stethoscopes in medicine”.’
(Bernstam et al, 2010)
• “[T]he field concerned with the cognitive,
information processing, and communication
tasks of medical practice, education, and
research, including the information science and
technology to support these tasks”
(Greenes & Shortliffe, 1990)
8. 8
More Definitions of M/B/H Informatics
• “[T]he field that is concerned with the optimal
use of information, often aided by the use of
technology, to improve individual health,
health care, public health, and biomedical
research” (Hersh, 2009)
• “[T]he application of the science of
information as data plus meaning to
problems of biomedical interest” (Bernstam et al, 2010)
