Information Science
- Anything about information
- scientific and technical information
Information Technology
- It is about the installation and management of hardware and software
- about data organization
- application of technology to solve business problems on a broad scale
Medicine
Is the science or practice of the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease
Biomedicine
- AKA as Biomedical Science
- is the field of study
that focuses on the areas of biology and chemistry
that are relevant to healthcare
3 General Areas of Specialty in Biomedicine
- Life Sciences
- Physiological Sciences
- Bioengineering
Digitalization
It refers to the continuous progress of technology in digitalizing concerning medicine and patient care
3 Core Services of Radiology

- Imaging
- Reporting
Scheduling is done under what system?
Radiologic Information System (RIS)
Imaging is transferred in what system?
Picture Achieving and Communication System (PACS)
Reporting is done under what system?
RIS & PACS
Healthcare Information Technology (HIT)
The application of information processing involving both
computer hardware and software that deals with the
storage, retrieval, sharing, and use of health care
information, data, and knowledge for communication
and decision making
Biomedical Informatics
- AKA Medical Informatics
- The study and application of methods to improve the
management of patient data,
Algorithm
A process for carrying out a complex task broken
down into simple decision and action steps
Bioinformatics
The use of medical informatics methods to facilitate
research in molecular biology
Checklist
A type of clinical decision tool: a form listing one or
more items of patient data to be collected before,
during or after an encounter; can be paper or
computer based
Clinical Coding System
- A shortcut used for easier and faster transactions
- A limited list of preferred terms from which the
user can draw one or more to express a concept
such as patient data
Clinical Data System
Any information system concerned with the capture, processing, or communication of patient data.
Clinical Decision Tool
Any mechanical, paper, or electronic aid that collects or processes data from an individual patient to generate output that
aids clinical decisions during the doctor-patient encounter
Clinical Information
- It is about any organized patient data or medical knowledge used in making clinical decisions
- the information considered in making clinical decisions
Clinical Informatics
The use of medical informatics methods to aid management of
patients
Communication
The exchange of information between agents (human or automated) face to face or using paper or electronic media
Computer Vision
- AKA Image Interpretation
- The use of computer techniques to assist in the interpretation
of images
Confidentiality
The policies restricting access to a person’s data to those whom
the patient agrees need access to them, except rarely in emergency and for the public good
Security
The technical methods by which confidentiality is achieved
Data Quality
The degree to which data items are appropriately represented to
support decision making
eHealth
The use of internet technology to access health and lifestyle information, services
and support
Electronic Patient Record
A computer based clinical data system designed to replace paper
patient records.
Tacit Knowledge
Knowledge that requires person to person contact to transfer
and cannot be communicated on paper or electronically
Explicit Knowledge
Knowledge that can be communicated on paper or electronically, without person to person contact.
Codification
The process of making explicit knowledge accessible to patient data
Information Design
The science and practice of designing forms, reports, computer
screens, etc, so that the information they contain can be found
rapidly and interpreted without error
Knowledge Base System
A computer decision support system with an explicit knowledge
base and separate reasoner program that uses this to give
advice or interpret data, often patient data
Knowledge Base
A store of knowledge represented explicitly so that a computer can search and reason with it automatically
Medical Informatics
- AKA Biomedical Informatics
- The study and application of methods to improve patient data management
Patient Data
Information about an individual patient and potentially
relevant to decisions about her current or future health or illness
