Some Definitions • Medical Informatics: the science of medical information collection and management • Medical Decision Making: quantitative methods for reasoning under uncertainty • Medical Computing: computer applications for information management • Medical Decision Support: computer-based information processing to help human decision makers

  5. A Brief History - Past to Future • Ledley and Lusted - Reasoning foundations of medical diagnosis; Science 1959 • El Camino Hospital - 1965 • Help System - 1970 • Financial systems - driven by billing and reporting requirements • Clinical Systems • Information Resources • Expert Systems

  6. Medical Computing • Patient-Oriented Systems • Medical Information Resources • Medical Knowledge Systems

Exam consistent with bronchitis, oral antibiotic prescribed, but patient had a tonic grand mal seizure in clinic. Became flaccid, unconscious, pulseless, apneic, but upon positioning for CPR, developed pulse and spontaneous respirations and awoke about 2 minutes after start of episode, complaining of lower sternal chest pain. • Actions: • Transfer to Emergency Room • Examination • Bloodwork • Chest Xray • Cardiogram • Admission and therapy
