The Information Age 1956? • In the United States, the number of people holding "white collar" jobs had just exceeded the number of people holding "blue collar" jobs. • Steady trend away from people holding manufacturing jobs. • An increasing number of people held jobs as clerks in stores, office workers, teachers, nurses, etc. • The Western world was shifting into a service economy
The Information Age and Information Technology • The Industrial Age gave way to "the Information Age". • Relatively few jobs had much to do with computers and computer-related technology.
Digital age • A term that has been used to refer to the present era, generally beginning within ten years of 1990. • The word digital comes from the same source as the word digit and digitus (the Latin word for finger), as fingers are used for discrete counting. The word digital is most commonly used in computing and electronics, especially where real-world information is converted to binary numeric form as in digital audio and digital photography. • Information and Communication Technology—computers, computerized machinery, fiber optics, communication satellites, Internet, and other ICT tools—became a significant part of the economy. • Microcomputers developed, and many business and industries were greatly changed by ICT.

Clinical Decision Support • Giving clinicians, patients, and others relevant information in context, that helps them make better decisions, prevent errors, and improve care quality and outcomes • CDS interventions include guidelines, alerts, order sets, tools to interpret patient data • ‘‘any measure designed to help health professionals make clinical decisions, deal with medical data about patients or with the knowledge of medicine necessary to interpret such data’’. • These DS tools can be classified into: • tools for information management • tools for focusing attention • tools for patient-specific consultation
Expectations 1 • Use the process of systematically reviewing, appraising and using research findings to aid decision making on the best method of delivering optimum clinical care to patients. • Such decisions should be based on strength and weight of scientific evidence on clinical effectiveness when allocating resources • Assurances on Safety: As to disease, make a habit of two things – to help, or at least do no harm- Hippocrates, Epidemics (book I Chapter XI) c 400 BC
Expectations 2 • ICT systems are a health care intervention. Does it do the job? Meaningful use? • Clinical Governance and Information Governance are both important • Systems for evaluating their efficacy and safety should be as robust as those evaluating other health care technologies. • An integrated approach by consumers of health care technology and providers of technology required. • A corporate culture of evidence based critical appraisal is required • Consequent corporate buy in from developers, providers and purchasers of IT solutions in health care is required. • Preferences to mix and match? Interoperability? • Database Studies: New Paradigm for research?
