Objectives: To present some of last year's best papers in the field of health and clinical management. Method: Synopsis of the best articles selected for the IMIA Yearbook 2010. Results: All five selected articles present promising results, each in a different subtopic of health care management. From automated clinical syndrome detection to global population surveillance, through improving alerting systems' impact, the selected articles should give an idea of how IT, not only can, but how it does help in health care management. Conclusions: While some people fear that computers might, one day, replace humans in health care, this is very far from being the case. What literature shows is that IT merely provides health care professionals with valuable tools that let them spend more time with their patients, prevent them from missing critical information, support them in their decision making and thus help improve their efficiency.
SummaryObjectives: To summarize last year's excellent research in the field of heath and clinical management. Method: Synopsis of the best articles selected for the IMIA Yearbook 2008. Results: The selection process for this yearbook's section on 'Health and Clinical Management' results in four excellent articles representing various topics of the field. These papers cover areas from inpatient managerial decision support to remote patient monitoring at their homes. Conclusions: Although these articles represent only a fraction of the worldwide work in the 'Health and Clinical Management' domain, they show promising strategies for contributing to improving the management of patient care.
SummaryTo present some of the recent best papers in the field of health and clinical management.Synopsis of the best articles selected for the IMIA Yearbook 2011.Of the five selected articles, some confirm the benefits of processing standardized data, others demonstrate the value of adapting the healthcare environment with new technological devices to improve patient safety and healthcare professionals time-efficiency. Other fields are also embraced: the possibilities offered by today’s communication technology open doors largely for telemedicine and remote patient monitoring.In constant evolution, the healthcare environment has multiple challenges to meet: cost containment, increase and ageing of the population, enormous quantities of data and quickly evloving knowledge, complex and multi-disciplinary approaches for healthcare, need for safer care, to mention but a few. While health IT has already helped healthcare in facing these challenges, there still is much more that could be done.
Summary Objectives To present some of last year’s best papers in the field of health and clinical management. Method Synopsis of the best articles selected for the IMIA Yearbook 2009. Results The selected articles illustrate how IT is enlarging its role in heath care management. By getting closer to patients allowing them feeding systems with there health data, IT can improve patient health management directly at patients’ home. With data being documented in increasingly more structured and standardized way, health information systems can better integrated and reuse that data and offer more decision support to physicians and other health professionals. Furthermore, as more data is available in electronic format in real-time, entire populations’ health status can be monitored by public health authorities allowing for better public health management. Conclusions Although the selected articles are only a few bricks in global health management, they are promising examples of how IT improves the integration and collaboration between all participants in health care and offers support at all levels. Tying all these separate bricks together will still require work, as well as developing all the remain bricks, but systems interoperability allowing for data sharing and health participants collaboration are continuously getting more real.
SummarySummarize some of last year’s best research in the field of Health and Clinical Management.Synopsis of articles selected for the IMIA Yearbook 2012.Five articles, from international peer-reviewed journals, have been selected in this section.The selected articles illustrate some of the topics of health and clinical management: from patient safety issues over the possibilities offered by technological devices to building knowledge from data present in electronic patient records.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
