Lesson 4 Overview of Health Informatics Copy Flashcards
The area of IT involving the design, development, creation, use, and maintenance of information systems for the health care industry.
Health Information Technology
5 Health Information Technology advantages
Improve Medical Care
Lower Costs
Increase Efficiency
Reduce Error
Improve Patient Satisfaction
is the application of technology tools and information systems in a healthcare setting or context
Health informatics
is an application-based software infrastructure that stores data on remote servers, which can be accessed through the internet.
Cloud computing
instructions that tell a computer what to do.
software
captures information from a single care provider, which is only available to that one care provider.
EMR
comprises the entire set of programs, procedures, and routines associated with the operation of a computer system.
Software
is the patient’s official health record in digital form and this information is shared across multiple health care providers and agencies.
EHR
These two help manage and store the patients’ medical images.
Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS)
Vendor Neutral Archives (VNA)
Is a person’s self – maintained health record
Personal Health Record
allows healthcare providers to access and share patient medical record data securely and electronically.
Health Information Exchange (HIE)
is a medical imaging technology which provides economical storage and convenient access to images from multiple modalities.
PACS
is a medical imaging technology in which images and documents are stored in a standard format with a standard interface, such that they can be accessed in a vendor-neutral manner by other systems.
VNA
are producers of clinical images
Cardiology & Neurology
integrate radiology into the main hospital workflow.
PACS and VNA
allows healthcare providers to migrate from one vendor to another without worrying about imaging data loss.
VNA
is focused on improving the workflow with emphasis on storage and retrieval
PACS
Composition of individuals, systems, and processes that share, exchange, and access all forms of health information, including discrete, narrative, and multimedia.
Health Interoperability Ecosystem
is the application of both technology and systems in a health care setting.
Health Informatics
provides an information infrastructure that uses technical standards, policies, and protocols to enable seamless and secure capture, discovery, exchange, and utilization of health information.
health interoperability ecosystem
Is an electronic medical record (EMR) developed through the collaboration of the Information and Communication Technology community and health workers, primarily designed for use in Philippine health centers in disadvantaged areas.
Community Health Information Tracking System (CHITS)
is a cloud computing service used by health care providers for storing, maintaining and backing up personal health information (PHI).
health care cloud
The technology aims to contribute to effective and efficient delivery of health services through appropriate information and communication strategy, and to aid in health decision-making at the local level.
Community Health Information Tracking System (CHITS)
A mechanism which keeps track of all data related to the patient such as:
HIS
established to improve the current disease surveillance systems in the Philippines
Philippine Integrated Disease Surveillance and Response (PIDSR) System
Examples of Health Information System (HIS)
- Disease surveillance systems
- District level routine information systems
- Hospital patient administration systems (PAS)
- Human resource management information systems (HRMIS)
- Laboratory information systems (LIS)
- Hospital Information System (HIS)
- Materials Management System (MIS)
This integration will provide a more rational basis for decision making and implementing public health interventions that effectively respond to priority diseases and events.
Disease Surveillance Systems
a healthcare software solution that processes, stores, and manages patient data related to laboratory processes and testing.
