Midterms | Digital Biomedicine/ Medicine and Healthcare IT Flashcards
A system in which medical doctors and other healthcare professionals treat symptoms and diseases using drugs, radiation, or surgery
DIGITAL BIOMEDICINE / MEDICINE AND HEALTHCARE IT
DIGITAL BIOMEDICINE / MEDICINE AND HEALTHCARE IT treat symptoms and diseases using (1), (2), or (3)
- drugs
- radiation
- surgery
DIGITIZATION IN BIOMEDICINE AND MEDICINE
In our era of digital biomedicine, data take many forms, from “(1)” to (2), (3), and (4).
- omics
- imaging
- mobile health (mHealth)
- electronic health records (EHRS)
Use of internet to access pt records
mHealth
Patient-centered records; needs access request
EHRS
Secure, real time, point-of-care, patrient-centric information resource for physicians
Electronic health records (EHRS)
Contains a vast amount of medical information, data about the patient (demographic information), and other related health information such as images from medical imaging procedures
Electronic health records (EHRS)
6 COMPONENTS OF ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD (EHR)
- Order entry
- Clinical documentation
- Data repository
- Decision support
- Result reporting
- Clinical messaging through email
About making requests (ex. imagin procedures, lab tests)
Order entry
Includes vital signs/ informed consent
Clinical documentation
Serves as a storage of images/ data/ lab results
Data repository
From one hospital to another; omits “second option” for patients
Decision support
Includes findings, diagnosis
Result reporting
Where you allow data sharing to improve clinical decisions
Clinical messaging thru email
Area of healthcare that oversees the technology systems healthcare providers use to manage patient data
Healthcare information technology (HIT)
(1): refers to the electronic systems healthcare providers - and increasingly, patients - use to store, share, and analyze information
This definition is according to the (2)
Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC)
Uses technology in the collection, classification, storage, retrieval, and dissemination of information to solve problems, improve business processes, and facilitate the wants and needs of humans.
Basic informatics
is interdisciplinary and spans across a plethora of disciplines and fields. we are on the cutting edge because of research.
Basic informatics
is an emerging discipline focusing on the study, invention, and implementation of structures and algorithms to improve communication, understanding, and management of medical information
Biomedical/ medical informatics
Biomedical informatics, in addition to being a subfield of health informatics, includes 4 subfields:
- Public health informatics
- Clinical informatics
- Imaging informatics
- Bioinformatics
Focused on the whole society, to inform epidemiology, and other population-wide medical phenomena
Public health informatics
Patient-based and used for activities such as collecting, managing, storing, and disseminating electronic medical records
Clinical informatics
Focused on organs and tissues, using advanced tools such as the computerized tomography scanner
Imaging informatics
This branch deals with cellular and molecular processes such as genomic sequencing
Bioinformatics
Examples of public health informatics
VAccines
Basic handwashing
Breastfedding
Smoking
Examples of clinical informatics
Hospital based information including pt charts
Examples of bioinformatics
Genomic sequencign
DNA Testing
Genetic Testing
