Decision Support Systems in Critical Care
Modern critical care is characterized by the collection of large volumes of data and the making of urgent patient care decisions. The two do not necessarily go together easily. For many years the hope has been that ICU data management systems could play a meaningful role in ICU decision support. These hopes now have a basis in fact, and this book details the history, methodology, current status, and future prospects for critical care decision support systems. By focusing on real and operational systems, the book demonstrates the importance of integrating data from diverse clinical data sources; the keys to implementing clinically usable systems; the pitfalls to avoid in implementation; and the development of effective evaluation methods.
Medical Informatics
The practice of modern medicine requires sophisticated information technologies with which to manage patient information, plan diagnostic procedures, interpret laboratory results, and conduct research. Designed for a broad audience, this book fills the need for a high quality reference in computers and medicine, first explaining basic concepts, then illustrating them with specific systems and technologies. Medical Informatics provides both a conceptual framework and a practical inspiration for this swiftly emerging scientific discipline. The second edition covers system design and engineering, ethics of health informatics, system evaluation and technology assessment, public health and consumer use of health information, and healthcare financing.
Cognitive Informatics in Health and Biomedicine
Enormous advances in information technology have permeated essentially all facets of life in the past two decades. Formidable challenges remain in fostering tools that enhance productivity but are sensitive to work practices. Cognitive Informatics (CI) is the multidisciplinary study of cognition, information and computational sciences that investigates all facets of human computing including design and computer-mediated intelligent action, thus is strongly grounded in methods and theories from cognitive science. As an applied discipline, it has a close affiliation with human factors and human-computer interaction, and provides a framework for the analysis and modeling of complex human perfor...
Electronic Health Records
This book provides an overview of the challenges in electronic health records (EHR) design and implementation along with an introduction to the best practices that have been identified over the past several years. The book examines concerns surrounding EHR use and proposes eight examples of proper EHR use. It discusses the complex strategic plannin
ISHLT 2016 Final Program
The 2016 Annual Meeting will be held at the Marriott Wardman Park located in a charming neighborhood in the heart of Washington, DC. We hope to build on the tremendous success of the 2015 Nice meeting, the best attended meeting in the Society’s history. We plan a traditional meeting schedule, opening on Wednesday and closing on Saturday. The format of the Washington meeting will be similar to previous meetings, beginning with a day of pre-meeting symposia on Wednesday morning and closing mid-day Saturday. The majority of the meeting will be devoted to submitted content. In anticipation of contributions of high quality, novel scientific work, we plan to run concurrent oral sessions to showcase the highest scoring abstracts and mini-oral sessions and general poster sessions are planned to share other excellent submitted work with our members.
Biomedical Informatics
This 5th edition of this essential textbook continues to meet the growing demand of practitioners, researchers, educators, and students for a comprehensive introduction to key topics in biomedical informatics and the underlying scientific issues that sit at the intersection of biomedical science, patient care, public health and information technology (IT). Emphasizing the conceptual basis of the field rather than technical details, it provides the tools for study required for readers to comprehend, assess, and utilize biomedical informatics and health IT. It focuses on practical examples, a guide to additional literature, chapter summaries and a comprehensive glossary with concise definition...
Cognitive Informatics for Biomedicine
The book reports on the current state on HCI in biomedicine and health care, focusing on the role of human factors, patient safety well as methodological underpinnings of HCI theories and its application for biomedical informatics. Theories, models and frameworks for human-computer interaction (HCI) have been recognized as key contributors for the design, development and use of computer-based systems. In the clinical domain, key themes that litter the research landscape of health information technology (HIT) are usability, decision support and clinical workflow – all of which are affected directly or indirectly by the nature of HCI. While the implications of HCI principles for the design o...
Integrating Quality and Strategy in Health Care Organizations
Healthcare organizations are increasingly under financial and regulatory pressures to improve the quality of care they deliver. However many organizations are challenged in their ability to fully integrate quality improvement measures into the strategic planning process.
