Connected health data meets the people: Diversity, Standards, and Trustchronaki
Using health data in a connected world requires new competencies, a personal digital health compass calibrated to individual personalities and needs. Patients and clinicians able to collect and manage data, data-operational informatics professionals able to analyze data, and cutting-edge researchers, innovators, and educators able to apply knowledge, will take learning health systems to the next level.
In this EFMI-HL7 event using innovative technology and surprises to engage the audience, we will discuss strategies for empowering and activating people to engage, share and use their health data. We will point to diversity, trust and open standards like HL7 FHIR to open up access and capacities to manage data safely for patients, care-givers, and the health system.

Abstract
This chapter highlights international health informatics initiatives, international organizations involved in these initiatives, and how health practitioners such as nurses are involved in the activities of these organizations. There are numerous international health informatics–related activities that have been initiated across the different regions of the world. In addition academic societies within these regions are pursuing health informatics theory and practice developments. These international health informatics initiatives, along with associated academic organizations, are introduced here with brief histories and the key activities of each region. There are also several international organizations involved in the development of health informatics, such as the World Health Organization, the International Medical Informatics Association, the International Organization for Standardization, the International Council of Nurses, the International Health Terminology Standards Development Organisation, and Health Level Seven. These organizations are introduced with a short description of health practitioners' contributions to their activities. Finally, global issues in health informatics initiatives are also described.
Introduction
In many parts of the world healthcare is one of the largest sectors of the economy. As a result, health spending plays a major role in economic policy throughout the world with growing pressure on the healthcare industry to streamline costs, gain efficiency, and become more innovative in improving and maintaining the health of the population. Today the health industry around the world is looking for better ways of providing healthcare and improved health for all. The application of health information technology (health IT), called information and communication technology or ICT in international settings, to healthcare is seen as key to realizing this aim. The World Health Organization (WHO) uses ehealth as an umbrella term to cover all aspects of the use of ICT in healthcare. While the terminology differs—from health IT to ICT to ehealth—the goal of using technology to effectively and efficiently improve the health of individuals, families, and communities remains the same. An important differenc ...

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Basics
– ECHO employs routinely collected administrative data –
hospital discharges, demographic and socioeconomic data,
supply features.
– ECHO has set about the task of bringing together patient-level
data from Austria, Denmark, England, Portugal, Slovenia and
Spain, making them comparable – 200 million episodes, 922
health care areas and 850 hospitals.
– ECHO is expanding the usual approach in healthcare
performance international comparison (built upon average
values and average benchmark), adding variation within and
across countries.
– Unwarranted variation is shown for a variety of comparable
performance indicators …
4. This project is funded by
the Health Programme of
the European Union
Some methodological keys
– Building a homogeneous knowledge infrastructure
http://www.echo-health.eu/handbook/infrastructure.html
– Developing comparable indicators across different languages
http://www.echo-health.eu/handbook/getting-indicators.html
– Dealing with population size heterogeneity
http://www.echo-health.eu/handbook/unit_analysis.html
– Measuring differences in hospitals rather than differences in
patients (risk adjustment measures)
