“…Otro estudio evaluó el programa AMAUTA, que ofrece cursos cortos sobre Bioinformática e Informática Médica, y describe cómo se realizaron las evaluaciones de conocimientos, antes y después de los cursos, demostrando que, incluso, luego de seis meses, los alumnos mantenían un nivel similar de conocimientos (25) . La evaluación de los cursos en eSalud y áreas afines es imprescindible para poder demostrar su eficacia y aceptación, y así poder incrementar sus probabilidades de ser sostenibles en el tiempo.…”

RESUMENLa salud electrónica (eSalud) requiere un enfoque multidisciplinario que incluya diversos campos como la medicina, la informática, ingenierías e, incluso, las ciencias sociales como la sociología, la antropología, el trabajo social, la administración, el derecho y las ciencias de la comunicación. Al evaluar la eSalud debemos tener en cuenta que las tecnologías de información y comunicación (TIC) son solo una parte del sistema de información de una organización; es fundamental considerar los factores humanos involucrados en los procesos del sistema de salud, y tomar en cuenta el entorno y el ecosistema en el que se utilizan las TIC en salud. El objetivo de este artículo es describir la situación actual de la evaluación de experiencias de eSalud en el Perú y discutir las estrategias de evaluación multidisciplinaria que deben considerarse para lograr éxito y sostenibilidad de estas iniciativas, basadas en la experiencia nacional e internacional. Palabras clave: eSalud, Telemedicina, Evaluación, Estudios de evaluación (fuente: DeCS BIREME) EVALUATION OF ELECTRONIC HEALTH PROGRAMS IN PERU: MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPROACH AND CURRENT PERSPECTIVES ABSTRACTElectronic health (eHealth) requires a multidisciplinary approach and involves different areas of knowledge, including medicine, computer science, engineering, sociology, anthropology, social work, administration, law, and communication sciences. The assessment of eHealth should consider that information and communication technologies (ICTs) are only part of the information system of an organization. Understanding the human factors involved in health systems, the environment, and the contexts in which ICTs are used in health is essential. The objectives of this study were to describe the status of the assessment of eHealth in Peru and to discuss the strategies for multidisciplinary evaluation that should be considered to achieve the success and sustainability of these initiatives based on national and international experience.

SummaryBackground: In the past decade, Medical Informatics (MI) and Bioinformatics (BI) have converged towards a new discipline, called Biomedical Informatics (BMI) bridging informatics methods across the spectrum from genomic research to personalized medicine and global healthcare. This convergence still raises challenging research questions which are being addressed by researchers internationally, which in turn raises the question of how biomedical informatics publications reflect the contributions from around the world in documenting the research. Objectives: To analyse the worldwide participation of biomedical informatics researchers from professional groups and societies in the best-known scientific conferences in the field. The analysis is focused on their geographical affiliation, but also includes other features, such as the impact and recognition of the conferences. Methods: We manually collected data about authors of papers presented at three major MI conferences: Medinfo, MIE and the AMIA symposium. In addition, we collected data from a BI conference, ISMB, as a comparison. Finally, we analyzed the impact and recognition of these conferences within their scientific contexts. Results: Data indicate a predominance of local authors at the regional conferences (AMIA and MIE), whereas other conferences with a worldwide scope (Medinfo and ISMB) had broader participation. Our analysis shows that the influence of these conferences beyond the discipline remains somewhat limited. Conclusions: Our results suggest that for BMI to be recognized as a broad discipline, both in the geographical and scientific sense, it will need to extend the scope of collaborations and their interdisciplinary impacts worldwide.

“…The use of informatics tools to enhance care and prevent disease in developing countries has increased dramatically in the past decade, in part due to 1) the realization that bridging the information divide is critical to enhance health for all, which has been well documented in the pages of Methods [11][12][13] and 2) capacity building programs that emphasize informatics as a critical component of health systems. [14][15][16][17]. Health information systems are being developed and deployed in underserved settings at a rapid pace, and this allows the biomedical informatics community to leapfrog over some stages that were needed for system design and implementation in developed countries [18].…”

Significant challenges, as well as opportunities, appear when cumulating the intrinsic multidisciplinary nature of health informatics interventions with the diversity of contexts at the global level, in particular when considered in the perspective of a confluence, i.e., the mixing of different waters and their merging into a new, stronger entity. Health informatics experts reflect on key issues such as collaborative software development and distributed knowledge sourcing, social media and mobile technologies, the evolutions of the discipline from an historical perspective, as well as examples of challenges for implementing ubiquitous healthcare or for supporting disaster situations when infrastructures get disrupted.
