3. What is Medical Informatics? • What is Medical Bioinformatics? • Medical informatics has to do with all aspects of understanding and promoting the effective organization, analysis, management, and use of information in health care. MI emphasizes technology as an integral tool to help organize, analyze, manage, and use information.

4. What is Medical Informatics? • What REALLY is Medical Bioinformatics? • The science of managing information for health care, research, education, and administration by applying, integrating, and evaluating information technology along with its associated policies, procedures, and organizational cultures.

5. Three Legs of MI Technology Culture Policy and Procedures How to convince MDs to use the technology • Technology • Policy • Culture How to organize information in DBs How to integrate it and create tools for better diagnostics How and when to use new tools (e.g. Resource allocation) New database paradigms New ways of integrating Information New tools

6. MI assisting in Medicine • Different tools and approaches of MI can help in the decision making process. • Regulations/Privacy/Security • Database/Literature Searching -- EMB • Public Health Informatics • Outcomes Research • Standards Development • Decision Support • Electronic Medical Record’s Development • Telemedicine • Simulation

7. Tools for literature search/public health applications

8. Tools for literature search/public health applications

9. Problems • Changing the culture of medical doctors • These tools will become more useful as more people use them and input data • Medical doctors are notorious for not adapting to new tools that do not have an instant and direct effect on their practice and for not sharing information freely

10. MI assisting in Medicine • Different tools and approaches of MI can help in the decision making process. • Regulations/Privacy/Security • Database/Literature Searching -- EMB • Public Health Informatics • Outcomes Research • Standards Development • Decision Support • Electronic Medical Record’s Development • Telemedicine • Simulation

11. Decision Making in Medicine • Decision Making obeys a hierarchy of evidence levels. • Anecdotal Accounts • Expert Opinion • Consensus Opinion • Retrospective Analysis • Prospective Analysis (Open study) • Single Blind • Double Blind Placebo Controlled

12. MI assisting in Decision Making • Working in a clinic is very similar to monitoring a continuous process. • Let physicians do what they do best: • Pattern recognition • Examine & Interact with patients • Collect and filter data • Apply the art of medicine • Let computers do what they do best: • Provide the physician with the right amount of information they need WHERE and WHEN they need it • Keep track of ALL the details ALL of the time

13. The Fundamental Principle of Decision Theory THE BAYES THOREM [New Knowledge] = [Experimentation] x [Old Knowledge] Application: Making Diagnosis [Old Knowledge] - we know disease D prevalence, p(D) [New Knowledge] - we need to know if the patient has disease D if he has symptom S, p(D|S) [Experimentation] - Bayes Theorem builds the Likelihood Function: L(D|S) = p(S|D) / {p(S|D) p(D) + p(S|’D) p(‘D)} Now this Likelihood Function modifies the Old Knowledge: p(D|S) = L(D|S) p(D)
