IT Application in Healthcare |
|
Healthcare is a domain replete with vast and varied knowledge and information relating to health issues i.e nutrition, disease prevention, disease management and cure through medication. Healthcare has been continuously embracing technology from the cutting edge medical imaging technology to the latest clinical laboratory diagnosis. Technologies greatly influenced the accessibility and availability of information for both patients and healthcare workers. Information Technology (IT) has the capability to transform the health industry and the way it manages the data, information and knowledge and to revolutionize the way in which clinician’s works. The Patient is now the focus of the technological revolution in healthcare with electronic health records and individualized care plans.
- e-Health
- Medical Informatics
e-Health
eHealth covers the interaction between patients and health-service providers, institution-to-institution transmission of data, or peer-to-peer communication between patients and/or health professionals. Examples include health information networks, electronic health records(EHR), telemedicine services, wearable and portable systems which communicate, health portals, and many other (Information & Communication Technology) ICT-based tools assisting disease prevention, diagnosis, treatment, health monitoring. Widespread implementation of e-Health will enable more “patient-friendly” healthcare services to be developed. This will offer healthcare providers a chance to become more flexible and better able to address the differing needs of individual patients. e-Health services promise to raise the quality of care in remoter and rural areas, thanks to modern communications infrastructure. In medical education, the web is increasingly used both as a learning tool to support formal programmes and as a means of delivering online learning programmes. Web based learning can be useful to support clinical teaching when learners are geographically dispersed - for example, to learn clinical skills through video demonstrations. We as an initiative in case of e-Health, provides with following Telemedicine solutions:
Medical Informatics
Medical informatics is the study relating to the development and application of information technology to health care information. Electronic patient records, clinical guidelines and clinical pathways are examples of health care informatics applications.
The domain of medical informatics is determined by the intersection of the terms "medicine" and "informatics" (or "health" and "information”). The first term indicates the area of research, the second one its methodology. Medical informatics has both applied and theoretical aspects; models are developed both in applications and in theoretical activities. In medical informatics we develop and assess methods and systems for the acquisition, processing, and interpretation of patient data with the help of knowledge that is obtained in scientific research. In medical informatics, we deal with the entire domain of medicine and health care, from computer-based patient records to image processing and from primary care practices to hospitals and regions of health care. Following are our key initiatives in the filed of Medical informatics as well as Management Information system:
