Study Notes

Clinical Informatics Challenges

Lack of system interoperability is a challenge in clinical informatics
Poor usability of health IT is a challenge
Data availability, storage, and integrity are challenges
Failure to design health IT for human factors is a challenge

Information System Security Measures

Security measures prevent unauthorized access to data
Confidentiality ensures data is only accessible to authorized personnel
Integrity prevents unauthorized changes to data
Availability ensures authorized users have access to information when needed

Management of Health Information Systems

Management of HIS involves cataloging, maintaining, transmitting, and comparing a significant amount of data and information

Stages of Change

Refreezing: Establishing a change as a new habit, making it a standard operating procedure.

Health Records

All health records are considered legal documents.

Health Information System (HIS) Qualities

HIS is a low-cost technology for clinical video cases.

General Healthcare Ethics

General healthcare ethics include legitimate infringement and openness principles.

Patient Empowerment

Patient empowerment is achieved through collaborative effort to promote active patient involvement in care planning
Shared decision-making helps patients become more engaged in managing chronic illnesses

Remote Patient Monitoring

A system that allows subjects to be tracked over time without revealing their identities is called pseudonamity.

Patient Engagement

Patient engagement maximizes opportunities for patients to control their healthcare.

Telenursing

Telenursing is healthcare delivery, diagnosis, consultation, treatment, medical data transfer, and education, using interactive audio, visual, and data communications.

Risks in Protective Barriers

System-based errors, knowledge-based errors, and rule-based errors are risks that can bypass protective barriers in healthcare systems.

Telehealth Development Factors

Cost containment is a factor affecting telehealth development.

Telehealth Era

Advances in internet and telecommunications have enabled telehealth services such as videoconferencing and remote access to patient data and information.

Reason's Swiss Cheese Model

Reason's Swiss cheese model illustrates that errors result from deficiencies in individuals working in a system.

Electronic Health Records (EHRs)

EHRs contain personal, medical, and treatment histories of patients.

Ergonomics in Operations

Integrating ergonomics processes deeply into operations reduces costs.

Computer Eye Strain Prevention

Keep the top of the computer screen at eye level to reduce eye strain.

Spyware

Spyware is a program that monitors keystrokes to steal private information.
