5 Let s get started... Trends in Health Informatics Dorine Bennett Director of HIM Program Coordinator

6 Long lasting implications of health informatics With the continued progress of technology, one of the greatest advances involving the changing landscape of medical care is the development of health informatics.

7 14 Grand Challenges for 21 st Century Advance Health Informatics: The acquisition, management, and use of information in health Ranging from thorough medical records for individual patients to sharing data about disease outbreaks Maintaining records in facilities and sharing information Systems maximally useful, ensure confidentiality, guard against potential for misuses

8 A vision for informatics in enhancing public health surveillance Identified by CDC leadership as one of six major concerns that must be addressed by the public health community to advance public health surveillance in the 21st century Discussed by CDC workgroups that were convened as part of the 2009 Surveillance Consultation to advance public health surveillance to meet continuing and new challenges CDC. Introduction. In: Challenges and opportunities in public health surveillance: a CDC perspective. MMWR 2012;61(Suppl; July 27, 2012):1-2.

9 Health Informatics Health Informatics is "the interdisciplinary study of the design, development, adoption and application of IT-based innovations in healthcare services delivery, management and planning. Procter, R. Dr. (Editor, Health Informatics Journal, Edinburgh, United Kingdom).

10 Information Hierarchy Wisdom Knowledge Information Data

11 Levels of Data Level 4 Computable electronic data Level 3 Structured, viewable electronic data Level 2 Unstructured, viewable electronic data Level 1 Non-electronic data

12 What makes? health informatics difficult?

13 Data Concepts and descriptions Actions Context Users User autonomy Time sensitivity Workflow Complex Data General, subjective Often not easily reversible Vague, variable Varied Variable and dependent on circumstances Many time sensitive tasks, highly variable time sensitivity Highly variable, implicit

14 Data Incomplete information Uncertain information Imprecise information Vague information Inconsistent information Imperfect Data Information for which some data are missing, but potentially obtainable. Information for which it is not possible to objectively determine whether it is true or false. Information that is not as specific as it should be. Information that includes elements that permit boundary cases; there is no underlying matter of fact. Information that contains two or more assertions that cannot simultaneously hold.

15 An Envisioned Cycle That Ties Patient Care with Knowledge Creation and Dissemination A Learning Healthcare System Providers Caring for Patients Electronic Health Records Information, Decision-Support, and Order-Entry Systems Creation of Protocols, Guidelines, and Educational Materials Regional and National Public Health and Disease Registries Standards for Prevention and Treatment Biomedical and Clinical Research

16 Health Informatics impacts

17 Variety of areas Technology Process Strategy Analytics Electronic Medical Records (EMR) Workflow Accountable Care Organizations (ACO) Public Health Health Information Exchange (HIE) Efficiency Reimbursement Methodologies Interoperability Safety Patient Engagement Quality Effectiveness...and more and more and more and more

21 Roadmap for Career Development

22 so what is graduate education? Omar El-Gayar Dean of Graduate Studies & Research/Professor

23 Graduate education A specialized knowledge in a particular area of study. At the master s level: Gives you a specific set of skills needed to practice a particular profession Usually takes 1-2 years At the doctoral level: Involves course work and a major research project Usually takes 3-4 years

24 but why grad school? Faster career path Higher career potential Larger earning power Greater freedom More flexibility to change careers By earning an advanced degree, you demonstrate your ability to master complex topics and carry out projects on you own initiative. These qualities are attractive to employers CGS (2003)
