“…The possible benefits to detect medication interaction and incompatibilities are well known. Other systems are supporting the diagnostic process [20]. The challenge of tomorrow is to integrate decision support systems into clinical information systems (ǠTable 5).…”

Summary Objectives: The transformation process of the health care systems in most countries in direction of integrated care needs the support of information and communication technology. The central element of this development is the electronic health care record. But there are many other applications around this record and the functionality and usability of these systems has to be improved and extended. Methods: A system-analytic approach to integrated care is used to analyze the possibilities and the role of information and communication technology in current and future health and social care systems. Results: The key elements of the improvements in the next years are the integration of evidence-based knowledge in the care process, the improvement of the usability for patients and health care providers, the development of pro-active systems for decision support, the support of the mobility of patients and the activities of daily living, the integration of data form molecular biology, semantic interoperability and last but not least the processing and analysis of these data. In a series of tables requirements of the functionality of eHealth applications are summarized. Conclusion: Research in medical informatics has to focus on strategic concepts and how to transform the demands of a modern integrated health and social care system into user-friendly, secure and efficient ICT solutions and to support the citizen’s responsibility for her/his own healthcare. But there is also a high demand for research to improve the technology of ICT systems in health and social care.

“…Despite these objections several laboratory decision-support systems relying on discrete symptom-disease mappings have successfully been deployed. For example, the HEPAXPERT-I system [13] directly maps the discrete sample space (each test has either negative, positive, borderline, or unknown as its outcome) of hepatitis A and B serology onto the set of possible diagnoses. Another example, the PRO.…”

A Method to Derive the Time of Onset of Infection from Serological Findings

Abstract:Among the diagnostic problems requiring a retrospective assessment of the time an event occurred is that of screening for primary infection with Toxoplasma gondii acquired during pregnancy. We suggest a method to derive the possible times of onset of infection from a small sequence of serological samples by matching them against the knowledge about possible courses of infection. Special care is taken to properly address the relative change of consecutive samples, a nontrivial problem when reasoning about sparsely sampled time courses. To investigate the practicability of our approach we conducted a retrospective and a simulated prospective evaluation based on the samples of 394 pregnancies, randomly selected from our toxoplasmosis database; we could demonstrate an overall accuracy of 95.7%.

“…Today there are more controlled trials [7,8,9] and even systematic reviews [8,9] which let us believe with some confidence that, in medical computing, we have tools to improve process quality in medical care. The analysis of Johnston et al in 1994 [8] concludes that there is strong evidence that several computer applications will improve the treatment process.…”
