The role of medical informatics in telemedicine

Abstract: The role of medical informatics in telemedicine is dependent on using the power of the computerized database to not only feed patient specific information to the health care providers, but to use the epidemiological and statistical information in the data base to improve decision making and ultimately care. The computer is also a powerful tool to facilitate standardizing and monitoring of care and when applied in continuous quality improvement methodology it can enhance the improvement process well beyond what… Show more

“…1 The introduction of these tools in surgery has attracted much interest; however, the possibilities of combining increasing computing power 2 with surgeons' objectives and needs have not yet been properly analyzed. First, we must assess the results of telematic applications in medicine and surgery.…”

“…Acesso de prontuários médicos por pessoas não autorizadas [CHEN, 2000]; existe a possibilidade de ocorrer uma interpretação equivocada dos dados e imagens transmitidos, pois este depende da qualidade do equipamento e da amostra enviada. Com o avanço desenfreado das tecnologias existe uma maior necessidade de treinamento do pessoal que fará uso desta prática, de modo que se evitem erros na transmissão de dados [CLEMMER, 1996]; além da incompatibilidade econômica, com relação ao custo do sistema, existente na maior parte do Brasil, há uma incompatibilidade cultural gerando a necessidade de implantação de projetos educativos para médicos e pacientes de modo a explicar o objetivo do projeto, suas vantagens, etc. Além de representar custo adicional, há ainda a dificuldade de se convencer à população mais humilde das qualidades da telemedicina; o projeto ficaria então restrito à população mais elitizada, talvez não atingindo seu objetivo em termos numéricos de consultas realizadas.…”

“…Clemmer [ 4] believes that the real impact of medical informatics on telemedicine will be realized by implementing sophisticated clinical information systems with automated reminder and decision-support tools in the rural/remote practices most often targeted by telemedicine initiatives. The author lists the most common perceptions of telemedicine as: (1) Tele-education of providers, administrators and patients; (2) Tele-consultation to.…”

“…The use of standardized representation models, such as HL 7 and SQL, to address the task of integrating legacy clinical information systems with new relational, client-server systems is addressed by Willard et al [3]. Clemmer [4] challenges us to debate the thesis that proven medical informatics technolo., gies such as electronic medical record systems and clinical reminder tools may have more to offer the emerging field of telemedicine than some of the conventional approaches taken to sup-Year book of Medical Informatics 1996…”
