INTRODUCTION Flashcards
The study of best practices in information accrual, handling, dissemination and comprehension using appropriate technology
INFORMATICS
Knowledge obtained from investigation, study or instruction
INFORMATION
Deals with the subset of informatics relevant to the practice of pharmacy
PHARMACY INFORMATICS
Scientific field that focuses on medication-related data and knowledge within the continuum of healthcare systems - including its acquisition, storage, analysis, use and dissemination - in the delivery of optimal medication-related patient care and outcomes
PHARMACY INFORMATICS
Pharmacists must use information and technology skills to integrate information about drugs and information about patient-related issues from a variety of sources in order to achieve patient-centered care
PHARMACY INFORMATICS
An important subset of medical informatics in which pharmacists “use their knowledge of information systems and medication-use processes to improve patient care by ensuring that new technologies lead to safer and kore effective medication use”
PHARMACY INFORMATICS
subset of informatics that focus in the use of information technology to enhance medication usage
PHARMACY INFORMATICS
Practice of acquiring, studying and managing health data and applying medical concepts in conjunction with health information and technology systems
HEALTH INFORMATICS
Aims to help clinicians provide better health care
HEALTH INFORMATICS
The use of information science and technology to advance medical knowledge and improve quality of care and health system performance
MEDICAL INFORMATICS
Optimizing the storage retrieval and management of biomedical information for problem solving and decision making
MEDICAL INFORMATICS
Refers to the electronic management of drug information
DRUG INFORMATICS
It emphasizes the use of technology as an integral tool in effectively organizing, analyzing, managing, and communicating information on medication use in patients
DRUG INFORMATICS
Pharmacy informatics is drug informatics managed by phsrmacist
DRUV INFORMATICS
Selecting an economically useful care plan with maximum efficacy foe the patient’s condition
PHARMACOECONOMICS
Pharmacy informatics is more on designing the best care plan using bedt available drug information
PHARMACOECONOMICS
DUAL SPECIALIZATION
- PHARMACOTHERAPY
- INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
Using pharmaceutical drugs, as distinguished from therapy using surgery, radiation, movement or other modes
PHARMACOTHERAPY
Focuses on the technology that is used to deliver drug information
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
Combines technology and drug incompatibilities in providing pharmaceutical services
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
These ease medication use processes and avoiding the possibility of human error
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
2 KEEN DISCERNING SKILLS
- PHARMACY PRACTICE FROM ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVE
- INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY FROM CLINICAL PERSPECTIVE
Analytical approach is the use of analysis to break a problem down inti the elements necessary to solve it
PHARMACY PRACTICE FROM ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVE
refers to the viewpoint of a health professional such as doctor, nurse, psychiatrist or psychologist who works directly with patients
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY FROM CLINICAL PERSPECTIVE
An informatics pharmacist has the skill to identify the “______” but also pays close attention to details
