Modern information and communication technologies make it easier for individuals to be involved in their own health and social care. They also facilitate contact between individuals and service providers and deliver more efficient tools for healthcare staff. Artificial Intelligence (AI) promises to bring even more benefits in the future, with more effectiveness and the provision of decision support. This book presents the proceedings of the 33rd Medical Informatics Europe Conference, MIE2023, held in Gothenburg, Sweden, from 22 to 25 May 2023. The theme of MIE2023 was ‘Caring is Sharing – Exploiting Value in Data for Health and Innovation’, stressing the increasing importance of sharin...
Here is a book that aggregates five years of experience of three successive R and D projects (ELCH, GetTogether, GROPIS) covering technical and organizational issues of eProcurement. The projects, which were funded partly by the government and partly by industry and hospitals, looked at the characteristics of procurement processes and at standard technologies. Two of the projects included case studies (ELCH, GROPIS), the third project focused on the development of standard business objects for eProcurement in healthcare (GetTogether). Together they form a rich source of information worth communicating to a large audience of experts and newcomers alike.
For several years now, both eHealth applications and digitalization have been seen as fundamental to the new era of health informatics and public health. The current pandemic situation has also highlighted the importance of medical informatics for the scientific process of evidence-based reasoning and decision making at all levels of healthcare. This book presents the accepted full papers, short papers, and poster papers delivered as part of the 31st Medical Informatics in Europe Conference (MIE 2021), held virtually from 29-31 May 2021. MIE 2021 was originally due to be held in Athens, Greece, but due to the continuing pandemic situation, the conference was held as a virtual event. The 261 papers included here are grouped into 7 chapters: biomedical data, tools and methods; supporting care delivery; health and prevention; precision medicine and public health; human factors and citizen centered digital health; ethics, legal and societal aspects; and posters. Providing a state-of-the-art overview of medical informatics from around the world, the book will be of interest to all those working with eHealth applications and digitalization to improve the delivery of healthcare today.
The proceedings of the 10th International Nursing Informatics Congress (NI2009) offers a wide range of scientific knowledge to be disseminated among nurses, administrators, physicians or informaticians irrespective of whether they are clinicians, teachers, researchers or students. The variation of papers follow the advances in health information technology, although certain important topics such as ethics, education, management and clinical practice applications remain. The proceedings follows the ten themes of the conference programme: clinical workflow and human interface; consumer health informatics and personal health records; health information technology; terminology, standards and NMDS's; patient preferences and quality of care; patient safety; evidence based practice and decision support; consumer and professional education; strategies and methods for HIT training and national eHealth initiatives across the globe.
Advances in digital and information technology have meant that medical informatics and its associated fields are of ever-increasing importance in the modern healthcare environment. This book presents selected papers from the 63rd annual conference of the German Society of Medical Information Sciences, Biometry, and Epidemiology, GMDS 2018, held in Osnabrück, Germany, in September 2018. The society encompasses not only medical informatics, biometry and epidemiology, but also medical bioinformatics, systems biology and health data management. The title of this year’s conference is “The Learning Health System: Research Based, Innovative, Connecting”, and 38 full papers of the 164 oral pr...
A fundamental challenge for medical informatics is to develop and apply better ways of understanding how information technologies and methods can help support the best care for every patient every day given available medical knowledge and resources. In order to provide the most effective healthcare possible, the activities of teams of health professionals have to be coordinated through well-designed processes centered on the needs of patients. For information systems to be accepted and used in such an environment, they must balance standardization based on shared medical knowledge with the flexibility required for customization to the individual patient. Developing innovative approaches to d...
Digital health and medical informatics have grown in importance in recent years, and have now become central to the provision of effective healthcare around the world. This book presents the proceedings of the 30th Medical Informatics Europe conference (MIE). This edition of the conference, hosted by the European Federation for Medical Informatics (EFMI) since the 1970s, was due to be held in Geneva, Switzerland in April 2020, but as a result of measures to prevent the spread of the Covid19 pandemic, the conference itself had to be cancelled. Nevertheless, because this collection of papers offers a wealth of knowledge and experience across the full spectrum of digital health and medicine, it...
Informationen bilden die Grundlage für Entscheidungen. Damit ermöglichen sie eine individuelle und sichere Patientenversorgung, Versorgungskontinuität sowie eine stetige Qualitätsverbesserung. Die Digitalisierung im Gesundheitswesen eröffnet der Pflege vielfältige Chancen, neue Wege zu gehen. Dieses Buch liefert das dafür notwendige Basiswissen: Es werden Grundlagen von Informationssystemen innerhalb von und zwischen Einrichtungen vermittelt sowie in IT-Standards, Pflegefachsprachen und Terminologien zur Unterstützung der Digitalisierung eingeführt. Darüber hinaus wird ein Überblick über personenbezogene Assistenztechnologien gegeben sowie Prozess- und Projektmanagement, Datenschutz, Datensicherheit und Ethik der Informationsverarbeitung thematisiert. Auch auf weiterführende Themen, wie die Rolle der künstlichen Intelligenz in der Pflege, wird eingegangen. Alle Themen werden anhand eines durchgängigen Fallbeispiels illustriert. Übungsfragen mit Lösungen, weiterführende Literatur sowie ein umfassendes Glossar unterstützen den Lernprozess.
Health and Biomedical Informatics is a rapidly evolving multidisciplinary field; one in which new developments may prove crucial in meeting the challenge of providing cost-effective, patient-centered healthcare worldwide. This book presents the proceedings of MEDINFO 2015, held in São Paulo, Brazil, in August 2015. The theme of this conference is ‘eHealth-enabled Health’, and the broad spectrum of topics covered ranges from emerging methodologies to successful implementations of innovative applications, integration and evaluation of eHealth systems and solutions. Included here are 178 full papers and 248 poster abstracts, selected after a rigorous review process from nearly 800 submissi...
Neben der Einführung und Umsetzung einer Digitalstrategie spielt die ganzheitliche Verwaltung und Organisation von Gesundheitsdaten eine essenzielle Rolle für den Erfolg bei der digitalen Transformation in Krankenhäusern – kurz: ein professionelles Health Data Management (HDM).Dieses Buch widmet sich dieser Herausforderung, indem es in zahlreichen Expertenbeiträgen die dafür notwendigen Handlungsfelder aufzeigt – sie reichen von der Informationsstruktur und -architektur über die Datenerfassung und den interoperablen Datenaustausch bis hin zur Datenanalyse mit Künstlicher Intelligenz, Datenschutz und IT-Sicherheit. Anhand von Praxisbeispielen werden Bedeutung, Chancen, Herausforder...
