Introduction Health informatics is the bridging of computer science‚ information and the health care field. This interdisciplinary field can be applied to a range of medical fields such as nursing‚ biomedicine‚ medicine and subspecialties such as immunology (immunoinformatics). Informatics not only has roles to play in day-to-day areas of immunology such as data storage/retrieval‚ decision support‚ standards and electronic health care records but also in research and education such as data mining

Communications MIMO Multiple Input‚ Multiple Output (MIMO) technology is a wireless technology that uses multiple transmitters and receivers to transfer more data at the same time. MIMO technology takes advantage of a radio-wave phenomenon called multipath where transmitted information bounces off walls‚ ceilings‚ and other objects‚ reaching the receiving antenna multiple times via different angles and at slightly different times. In radio‚ multiple-input and multiple-output‚ or MIMO (commonly pronounced

According to the HIMSS website health informatics is “As defined by the U.S. National Library of Medicine‚ health informatics is the interdisciplinary study of the design‚ development‚ adoption‚ and application of IT-based innovations in healthcare services delivery‚ management‚ and planning.” Health Informatics is transforming healthcare in many different ways. Some of the ways I have personally seen are the use of programs like My Chart‚ which allows the patient to track their healthcare visits

Management Throughput Throughput is the quantity or amount of raw material processed within a given time‚ especially the work done by an electronic computer in a given period of time. It is also known as the Productivity of a machine‚ procedure‚ process‚ or system over a unit period‚ expressed in a figure-of-merit or a term meaningful in the given context‚ such as output per hour‚ cash turnover‚ number of orders shipped. In the business management theory of constraints‚ throughput is the rate

Input Data is factual information and it needs to be accurately captured in order to be processed. There are many methods to input data and each situation warrants a different method. There can be several different ways to input the information and it can be done in an automatic fashion‚ as with a computer‚ or it can be done manually‚ as with a human writing the information down. For instance‚ printed questionnaires would best use a special scanning device called an optical data reader that uses

Input Devices Light sensor: Gesture detection – the detection of human movements – may be used to enable advanced‚ differentiated smart features in portable electronics such as smart phones. Many of these features save energy by enabling electronics to expend the minimum amount of energy necessary to provide appropriate screen illumination levels. For example‚ when a phone is held to a user’s ear during normal conversation‚ the user can not see the screen‚ and therefore it may be turned off. This

that were presented on the 1961 EMR video‚ but clearly stated that “The U.S. health care delivery system does not provide consistent‚ high quality medical care to all people”. I think implementation of health information technology systems in healthcare organizations is essential to resolve this issue. In order to make this happen‚ several actions must take place and here I mention some of them. A robust national health information exchange structure must be build; the preparation of healthcare

1. Scanning devices Optical Scanners An optical scanner is a hardware input device that allows a user to take an image or text and convert it into a digital file‚ allowing the computer to read or display the scanned object. Features of the optical scanner include-its design‚ software compatibility‚ type of feeder‚ speed‚ resolution‚ etc. Some advantages of the optical scanner include : • Easy to use • Continuous‚ detailed‚ and scaled true-colour images for documentation and interpretation
