CONCLUSION: Applying multi-perspective methodologies is an effective way to study and design user interactions with the front end of a guideline-based DSS. PMID: 19328739 [PubMed – as supplied by publisher] (Source: International Journal of Medical Informatics).
CONCLUSION: This article shows that it is possible to represent findings using the UMLS and the DICOM SR formalism with a semi-automated method. The Metamap program helped to find a model to represent the semantic structure of free texts with … Continued
Conclusions: Defining the operational rules for INN prescribing for and with different stakeholders was a difficult yet feasible assignment. The INN prescribing project resulted into explicit operational rules and a reference database. The Belgian experience may provide important information for … Continued
CONCLUSION: Patients and physicians responded promptly to patient-directed electronic medication messages, identifying and addressing medication-related problems including ADEs. PMID: 17581772 [PubMed – as supplied by publisher] (Source: International Journal of Medical Informatics).
Conclusion: The HFE approach to medication CPOE efficiently identifies and distinguishes currently unsafe or uncomfortable work situations that could obviously benefit from an IT solution from other work situations incorporating efficient work procedures that might be impaired by the implementation … Continued
Authors: Lenz R, Blaser R, Beyer M, Heger O, Biber C, Bäumlein M, Schnabel M Clinical pathways are an effective instrument to decrease undesired practice variability and improve clinician performance. IT-applications embedded into clinical routine work can help to increase … Continued
Conclusions: WLAN-based RTLS can help alleviate process inefficiencies associated with traditional clinic workflow methods, which can lead to improved patient satisfaction. (Source: International Journal of Medical Informatics).
The international interest in introducing e-PHRs has emerged as an important area of research in the medical and health informatics domain [1,2]. This interest has been summarised in scoping studies, such as [3–5]. Much of the research, however, focuses on … Continued
Conclusion: These results suggested that an internet-based interactive intervention could become a helpful tool in promoting and maintaining physical activity in the long term. (Source: International Journal of Medical Informatics).
