  2. What is Health Informatics?Learning Objectives • Define information management, information system (technology) and informatics • Explain the basic theoretical concept that underlies informatics practice • Define the meaning of biomedical and health informatics as a field of study • Describe the biomedical informatics areas of applications • Summarize the informatics drivers and trends

  3. Information Management • Data • Generate • Collect • Organize • Validate • Analyze • Store • Integrate • Information • Disseminate • Communicate • Present • Utilize • Transmit • Safeguard

  4. Information System (Technology) • Interchangeable terms • Information system • Information technology • Automated system • Computer hardware and software • Receives and stores data • Processes data • Outputs data

  5. Informatics • The science of information • Information = data with meaning • Definition based on • Data • Information • Knowledge

  6. Data, Information, Knowledge, Wisdom Hierarchy • Data • Symbols, facts, measurements • Information • Data processed to be useful • Provides the “who, what, when, where” • Knowledge • Application of data and information • Provides the “how” • Wisdom • Evaluated understanding • Provides the “why”

  7. Fundamental Theorem of Informatics Figure 1.1 A “Fundamental Theorem” of Informatics: (Friedman, 2009).

  8. Application Domains for Informatics • Any area of human endeavor supportable by information technology • Such as • Entertainment • Law and law enforcement • Health care • Other fields where computer technology interfaces with people

  9. Biomedical Informatics • American Medical informatics Association (AMIA) • “Biomedical informatics (BMI) is the interdisciplinary field that studies and pursues the effective uses of biomedical data, information, and knowledge for scientific inquiry, problem solving, and decision making, motivated by efforts to improve human health.” • Shortliffe and Blois • “The scientific field that deals with biomedical information, data, and knowledge – their storage, retrieval, and optimal use for problem solving and decision making.”

  10. Health Informatics • Informatics applied to health care • Includes • Management and use of data and information in health care • Involves • Information technology • Requires • Standards

  19. Current Drivers • American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) • Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Programs • Meaningful use of interoperable health information technology and qualified EHRs • Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act • Provides for a number of “Alternative Payment Models” which require health information technology • Data analysis and reporting are necessary to improve quality and lower costs

  20. Current Trends in Health Informatics • eHealth • Electronic medical records • Electronic health records • Health information exchange

  21. eHealth • WHO’s definition • Use of information and communication technologies for health for different purposes • HIMSS’s definition • Application of the Internet/other technologies to health care for various goals and objectives

  22. Electronic Medical Record (EMR) • Electronic record of health-related information on an individual • Within one health care organization

  23. Electronic Health Record (EHR) • Electronic record of health-related information on an individual • Across more than one health care organization

  24. Health Information Exchange (HIE) • Electronic movement of health-related information among organizations • Involves networks • Local, state, and national HIE initiatives

  25. What is Health Informatics?Summary – Lecture a • Defined terms • Described theorem • Explained field of study related to biomedical and health informatics • Provided an overview of drivers and trends
