Study Notes
Understanding Clinical Data and Clinical Medicine
- This presentation covers the topic of understanding clinical data and clinical medicine.
- The speaker, Jae-Yeon Jung, is from the Gastroenterology Department of Ajou University Hospital and Medical School.
Medical Education in Korea
- Medical school education in Korea typically consists of 6 years of training, or 4 years of undergraduate study followed by 2 years of graduate study in medicine.
- Doctors completing medical school or an equivalent program receive a medical license
- Residency is mandatory for most physicians in South Korea
- Physician residency typically involves an internship (1 year) and a subsequent residency program (3-4 years), ultimately leading to a specialist designation.
- A significant percentage of doctors enter general practice after completing the required training.
Medical Curriculum
- The presentation shows a detailed Korean medical school curriculum timeline example for 2016-2019.
- The curriculum outlines subjects, classes, and testing times
- Medical education in Korea is structured and covers a wide range of medical subjects over multiple years of study
Clinical Career Path
- The presentation describes how doctors transition from medical students to medical professionals and eventually, specialists.
- Internship and residency programs are crucial steps in achieving expert medical qualifications.
- General medicine (GP) is often acquired after a general apprenticeship in medicine.
- Specialists are trained for several years through a program, with a focus on a specific area of medicine.
Hospital Information System
- Healthcare systems in South Korea use electronic medical records (EMR), order communication systems (OCS), picture archiving and communication systems (PACS).
- These systems are integrated into Hospital Information Systems (HIS).
- Strategic management systems include data warehousing, financial management systems, workflow systems, etc to improve efficiency.
- Administrative systems, in addition to HIS, help with office management and logistics.
Data Types in Medical Info
- Structured data: Predefined fields in EMRs (e.g., patient demographics, diagnoses, test results) offer detailed, numerical information.
- Unstructured data: Clinical notes, images, and reports containing free-format text aren’t easily processed by computers
- Mixed formats are frequent in patient records
- Medical data also includes unstructured formats such as free text fields or reports
Research Data
- Research data includes clinical trial data collected for specific clinical research projects or studies.
- Information sources can include government databases, international clinical trial registries (e.g., ClinicalTrials.gov, EU clinical trial registries.
Patient Generated Health Data (PGHD)
- Data created, recorded, and gathered by patients or caregivers is known as PGHD to address or monitor health issues.
- Choices, lifestyle, biometric data, symptoms, and treatment histories are part of patient generated health data.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications in Radiology
- AI algorithms applied to radiology aim to improve patient care by analyzing medical images, e.g. X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs for early disease detection and diagnosis.
- The presentation includes examples of how AI can support improved interpretations for clinicians in the diagnostic process.
Annotation and Image analysis
- Annotation is used to provide labels for images that support automatic analysis of medical images (e.g., x-rays, CTs).
- The presentation includes image and annotation examples to show how this type of analysis is used in diagnosis.
Medical Images and Data
- The presentation explains the types of medical images used in medicine, including X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, and ultrasound.
- PACS is a system for the storage and management of these images.
- DICOM standard for digital imagery used by PACS systems is discussed.
- Images and data from equipment such as MRI machines and ultrasound machines can be stored, read and relayed via PACS.
- EMRs and other data are frequently analyzed to support improved diagnostic decisions for clinicians..
Presentation Summary
- The presentation provides a comprehensive overview of different types of medical data.
- It highlights the importance of structured and unstructured data, including examples of how data is used and the ongoing evolution of medical data management systems.
- Different types of data are frequently evaluated, often using AI techniques to obtain relevant diagnostic information for better patient care.
- It emphasizes the ongoing development of clinical data management systems and how these advancements influence healthcare delivery.
