3 Session Outline • Overview of Health Informatics – This presentation • Overview of Health IT – Next presentation
4 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 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 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
But What Is M/B/H Informatics Anyway? • Medical computing/computers in medicine? • ‘[R]eferring to biomedical informatics as 7 “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 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)
9 Summary About M/B/H Informatics • Focuses more on information, not technology • Task-oriented view: Collection Processing Storage Utilization Communication/ Dissemination/ Presentation
10 Summary About M/B/H Informatics • Areas under the domain of M/B/H informatics – Health service delivery (health care) • Medical, dental, nursing, pharmacy, etc. • IT management in health care organizations – Public health • Policy & administration, epidemiology, environmental health, health services research, etc. – Individual patient/consumer’s health – Education of health professionals – Biomedical research (clinical trials, public health research, research in biomedical sciences)
11 So....What Is Information? Data‐Information‐Knowledge‐Wisdom (DIKW) Pyramid Wisdom Knowledge Information Data
12 Data‐Information‐Knowledge‐Wisdom Wisdom Knowledge Information Data Processing/ Synthesis/ Organization Contextualization/ Interpretation Judgment
13 Example Wisdom Knowledge Information Data I should buy a BMW (and a BIG house)! I am rich!!!!! Processing/ Synthesis/ Organization I have 100,000,000 baht in my bank account Contextualization/ Interpretation Judgment 100,000,000
Class Exercise #1 Form 3 groups, 3‐4 people each. From your assigned problem, identify/exemplify data, information, knowledge, and wisdom
15 Class Exercise #1: Problem A • Patient A has a blood pressure reading of 170/100 mmHg
16 Class Exercise #1: Problem B • Patient B is allergic to penicillin. He was recently prescribed amoxicillin for his sore throat.
17 Class Exercise #1: Problem C • Patient C’s plain film X-ray is as shown:
18 Class Exercise #1: Problem A • Patient A has a blood pressure reading of 170/100 mmHg
19 Class Exercise #1: Problem A • Patient A has a blood pressure reading of 170/100 mmHg • Data: 170/100 • Information: BP of Patient A = 170/100 mmHg • Knowledge: Patient A has high blood pressure • Wisdom: – Patient A needs to be investigated for cause of HT – Patient A needs to be treated with anti-hypertensives – Patient A needs to be referred to a cardiologist
20 Class Exercise #1: Problem B • Patient B is allergic to penicillin. He was recently prescribed amoxicillin for his sore throat.
Class Exercise #1: Problem B • Patient B is allergic to penicillin. He was recently prescribed amoxicillin for his sore throat. • Data: Penicillin, amoxicillin, sore throat • Information: – Patient B has penicillin allergy – Patient B was prescribed amoxicillin for his sore throat • Knowledge: – Patient B may have allergic reaction to his prescription • Wisdom: – Patient B should not take amoxicillin!!! 21
22 Class Exercise #1: Problem C • Patient C’s plain film X-ray is as shown:
Class Exercise #1: Problem C • Patient C’s plain film X-ray • Data: • Information: – Patient C’s plain film X-ray is as seen in the image – There is a break in the continuity of the periosteum of 23 Patient C’s left radius and ulna • Knowledge: – Patient C has fractures of left radius and ulna • Wisdom: – Patient C’s fractures need to be properly treated Image Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_fracture
Back to Earlier Definitions of Informatics M/B/H Informatics is... • “[T]he field that is concerned with the optimal 24 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) Informatics focuses on “I”, not “T”

    3 Session Outline • Overview of Health Informatics – This presentation • Overview of Health IT – Next presentation
  • 4.
    4 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.
    But What IsM/B/H Informatics Anyway? • Medical computing/computers in medicine? • ‘[R]eferring to biomedical informatics as 7 “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 Definitionsof 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)
  • 9.
    9 Summary AboutM/B/H Informatics • Focuses more on information, not technology • Task-oriented view: Collection Processing Storage Utilization Communication/ Dissemination/ Presentation
  • 10.
    10 Summary AboutM/B/H Informatics • Areas under the domain of M/B/H informatics – Health service delivery (health care) • Medical, dental, nursing, pharmacy, etc. • IT management in health care organizations – Public health • Policy & administration, epidemiology, environmental health, health services research, etc. – Individual patient/consumer’s health – Education of health professionals – Biomedical research (clinical trials, public health research, research in biomedical sciences)
