RES: HEALTH INFORMATICS, DATA & HEALTH TECHNOLOGIES Flashcards
The use of health information was also used during the beginning of the
the covid 19 pandemic
By utilizing the abundance of available data, healthcare professionals can gain a better understanding of patients’ health and make informed decisions on personalized care plans.
big data analytics
This approach not only saves money for the healthcare system but also improves the quality of life for individuals.
big data analytics
what are the 5 uses of technology and data in health care?
- Fitness and health trackers
- Electronic medical records – provides more data
storage and collaboration
3.Telehealth services - Internet and Social media
- Artificial intelligence and machine learning
WHY ARE WE TRYING TO INTERGRATE TECHNOLOGY TO HEALTH?
more effective in improving healthcare outcomes, more equitable and more efficient.
Refer to electronic tools, systems, devices, and resources that generate, store, process, and transmit data.
- DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES/ICT TECHNOLOGIES
Are tools or instruments of digital information. Data is its lifeblood. This data can be further managed and analyzed to provide meaningful information and insights that will make it actionable.
APPS, EHRS (Electronic Health Records), WEARABLE DEVICES
Help further improve the healthcare system
APPS, EHRS (Electronic Health Records), WEARABLE DEVICES
with the use of digital technology:
- more types of data are created
- can be easily harnessed and at a great volume
- becomes more available for analysis
- more insights and innovations
It enables health care providers to have access to consistent and timely information about their patients to promote appropriate and coordinate care.
digital technology
These are usually integrated into softwares and readable across all devices.
ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORDS
Provide real-time usable information to clinicians at a distance. It also allows them to monitor certain measures and alert them when something is not right.
biosensors
why do we need EHR?
- Having information available to you when you need it will make you a better doctor and make the care that you give your patient is better
- Much easier to coordinate treatment for patients because we’re all working in the same file in the system
- Can be accessed everywhere
- Be able to look at patient records, see how the
patient is doing, what the clinical history is remotely
and give better advice - Can see what’s happened to that patient so the
decision that you made at the front door you can
find out actually was that the right decision - Identify patients with certain vulnerabilities patients who have a high risk of any adverse events upon
treatment
empowers people to take greater control of their health and communicate with their healthcare provider
DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY
PRINICPLE OF AN OPTIMAL HEALTHCARE SYSTEM
An informed and engaged patient is critical to the success of achieving a people-centered, sustainable system. The patient should take an active role in managing one’s own health which could be facilitated by one’s healthcare provider.
Type of digital technology: To remotely deliver care via communications technology
telehealth
benefits of telehealth during the pandemic
- It minimizes the risk of infection and allows doctors to remotely analyze symptoms and collect data.
- Settings, including intensive care units, where robots provide real-time updates on patients’ conditions.
- Enables continuous monitoring and communication between patients and caregivers, while also facilitating data collection for research purposes.
- Provides remote diagnostics and treatment while alleviating the strain on healthcare facilities.
Allows patients to receive therapy
from the comfort of their own
homes
Telerehabilitation
Harnessing from within and outside of the health system to improve public health policies and interventions and prevent the occurrence of disease more effectively as well as enabling non-effective responses to public health emergencies. T OR F
F, effective
This allows a more precise identification of at-risk populations groups (precision public health)
data
to better link electronic health and databases and draw policy insights for public health purposes
analytical tools
Analytics and predictive models are helping
address one of the biggest costs to healthcare…
treatment of chronic diseases
identifying risk factors through genetic testing
genomics
It can enhance communicable disease surveillance by harnessing novel data streams to complement – rather than replace traditional methods (Smart Thermometers)
hybrid tools
refers to systematically mining, aggregating, and analyzing unstructured, textual, openly accessible online information to inform the public health policy
INFODEMIOLOGY
as social media and internet query data – offers the opportunity to assess self-reported health-related attitudes and behaviors, such as those pertaining to non-communicable disease and their risk factors, in near real time; it can thus, complement more traditional non-communicable disease surveillance data
MINING “VIRTUAL DIGITAL TRAILS”
from wearable technologies and environmental sensors can provide insights on a variety of lifestyle risk factors and aid in chronic disease management
SENSOR DATA
_____ far exceed the abilities of the human brain to process large amounts of data. Data present an opportunity to provide more informed practice and decisions of clinicians.
Computer
can match the characteristics of individual patients to large volumes of data and use algorithms to create personalized predictions of disease status, diagnoses, appropriate treatment and help make other clinical decisions.
CLINICAL DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEMS
have now been used successfully for some time in interpreting diagnostic images and have been shown to outperform humans in certain tasks related to diagnoses and prognoses
Algorithms
value of data:
- Routine and real-world data open new possibilities for generating evidence and knowledge
- Potential to put data to work to drive improvement and learning
- High value and benefit to all key stakeholders in the health care ecosystem – patients, healthcare providers, payers, pharmaceutical companies and medical device manufacturers
is the field of information science concerned with mainly the management of healthcare data and information
health informatics
5 factors under health informatics
Acquisition
Storage
Retrieval
Transmittal
Analysis
it simply exists and has no significance beyond its existence (in and of itself). It can exist in any form, usable or not. It does not have meaning of itself.
DATA (FACTS, OBSERVATIONS OR MEASUREMENT IN THE WORLD)
is data that has been given meaning by way of relational connection
INFORMATION
is the appropriate collection of information, such that its intent is to be useful. It is a deterministic process.
KNOWLEDGE
accumulated knowledge of life or in a particular sphere of activity that has been gained through experience – needed to make sensible decisions and judgements
