  6. Health Informatics Department, UNIFESP • History of Health Informatics in Brazil • 1980s Isolated group in Nephrology Discipline, UNIFESP • Prof. Daniel Sigulem, MD, Prof Titular • 1986 Committee for Health Informatics area • Apply emerging technologies to the health field • 1988 Health Informatics Center (CIS) was created • Dissemination Health Informatics culture at UNIFESP • Implanting the physical communication infrastructure • 1999 Health Informatics Department (DIS) was created • Academic purpouse • 2003 Health Informatics Postgraduate Program • Strictu sensu, Master and Doctor in Science degree • 1st in Latin America and Caribbean • DIS’s management • Resources from UNIFESP, research incentive agencies, cooperation agreements with government agencies and civil associations, and partnerships with private sector

  7. Mission • Mission • To generate, promote, systematize, and transfer Health Informatics and Telemedicine scientific and technological knowledge, in order to benefit, in the short, mid, and long-term, the society in general and health field, in particular • Goals • To promote and encourage research and the development of technologies of health information and communication, taking into account the whole spectrum of their applications: care, management, education, and research • To prepare professionals specialized in Health Informatics and Telemedicine to work in teaching, research and development of information technologies • To apply accumulated knowledge and experience in publicity, extension and assistance activities, whether at UNIFESP’s service, or through partnerships with related entities

  8. Development & Applications • Health IT, Telemedicine, Telehealth • From basic care to service management, everything in healthcare is information • Information technologies applied to health may, besides shortening distances and promoting transparency, support clinical and management decision-making, through subsidies which would be impossible without technology • Fields of activity • Health information systems • Decision-support systems • Patient’s electronic record • Computerized guidelines • Remote communication systems

  9. Education & Internet • Distance-learning via the Internet, Computer-aided teaching, Virtual UNIFESP • Education and health demand experience and responsibility • The Internet, and particularly the web, broadens the possibilities of training and retraining human resources. Besides, the web enables new communication interfaces between university and society. • Fields of activity • Online tools to support undergraduate studies at UNIFESP • Virtual courses of specialisation and extension for professionals • Online programs of education for laypeople • Distance training for corporate environments • Management of UNIFESP’s site • architecture, development and maintenance

  10. Networks & Connectivity • Internet 2, Free Software, Security • There is no production of knowledge without exchange of information • UNIFESP - the leading university in health research in Brazil - has a high-performance network infrastructure which connects it to the Internet 2 via the Academic Network of the State of São Paulo (ANSP) and the Brazilian Research Network (RNP) • Fields of activity • Management and expansion of the local network according to university demands • Use of platforms and free/open source software • Continuous improvement regarding security and high availability issues • User support (more than seven thousand users)

  11. Bioinformatics & Genome • Rede CompBioNet, GenomeCancer Project, Evolução Molecular • Decipher life codes and generate new information on health • We are members of CompBioNet - a network of bioinformatics laboratories created by FAPESP [Research Support Foundation of the State of São Paulo] and the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research to analyze the sequences generated by the Genome Cancer Project • Fields of activity • Development of tools for genome analysis and protein classification • Genomic database mining • Evolutionary computing • Phylogenetic analysis of biological sequences

  12. Teaching & Research • Undergraduate studies, Postgraduate studies, Applied research • To sow the future by investing in formation and innovation. • Health Informatics is a teaching and research interdisciplinary field which involves two great and complex areas of knowledge: health sciences and computer sciences • Fields of activity • Master’s and Doctor’s degree programs (strictusensu) approved by CAPES • Disciplines for UNIFESP’s undergraduate, specialization and extension courses • Computer laboratories available to the UNIFESP community • Divulge Health Informatics inside and outside the university

  13. Extension & Care • Scientificconsulting, Technicalcooperation, SUS • Take care of your village and you will be taking care of the world • Responsible for the administration of a group of public hospitals which are part of the SUS [Brazilian unified healthcare system], UNIFESP is a national reference in healthcare, receiving patients from all over the country - most of them low-income people • Fields of activity • Technical and scientific consulting in information technology for UNIFESP and for hospitals under its management • Coordination of information technology of health centers in university • Technical cooperation with professional health associations and government agencies
