eHealth & mHealth
 eHealth
 eHealth is a broad term
for healthcare practice
which is supported by
electronic processes and
communication.
 The term can encompass
a range of services that
are at the edge of
medicine/healthcare and
information technology.

 mHealth
 Mobile Health
 Mobile technologies such
as mobile phones to
collect and access health
information.
Health Informatics
The intersection of information science,
computer science, and health care.
It deals with the resources, devices and
methods required to optimize the acquisition,
storage, retrieval and use of information in
health.
Why Health Informatics?
Health Informatics provides information to
make decisions
Better information leads to better decisions
leading to better outcomes
Health care, management, planning and policy
all need good information
Point-of-Care Resources & Tools:
POCR&T
• Definition
• Its’ Place: Where in Knowledge Translation
Science
• Uses:
– Evidence-based Knowledge Acquisition
– Decision Making
• Diagnosis
• Therapy

– Patient Centered-Care and Education
– Resident/Student education

• Examples
What are Point-of-Care R &T?
• Point-of-care resources and tools are those
research and reference utilities that a clinician
can employ immediately at the point-of-care
with a patient: (Clinic, ward, home, ER etc) .
• They are often easy to use and contain filtered
information.
• Most of the evidence-based point-of-care tools
include levels of evidence, rating scales or grade
recommendations as well as citations back to the
original research studies, systematic reviews, or
guidelines.
POCR&T
Aim:
Identify useful resources to answer clinical questions
quickly –
• Use the differential diagnosis tools
• Locate disease quick references
• Use online and PDA Calculators
– Medical equation
– Clinical rules, decision support

• Find laboratory information
• Use resources with students

Secrets of Literature Searching
• Know how to ask a question
– Foreground: Diagnosis, Therapy, Prognosis
– Background: Epidemiology, Etiology,
Pathophysiology etc

• Know where to look: Time is money!
– EBM resources:
• Primary literature
• Secondary literature

– Other resources: Decision Support, Quality
Improvement, Patient Education etc
Ask Clinical Questions: PICO

The Effectiveness of Mobile-Health Technologies to Improve
Health Care Service Delivery Processes: A Systematic Review
and Meta-Analysis. Caroline Free et al. Published January 15, 2013
• Background: Mobile health interventions could have beneficial
effects on health care delivery processes. We aimed to conduct a
systematic review of controlled trials of mobile technology
interventions to improve health care delivery processes.
• Conclusions:
1. The results for health care provider support interventions on
diagnosis and management outcomes are generally consistent
with modest benefits.
2. Trials using mobile technology-based photos reported reductions
in correct diagnoses when compared to the gold standard.
3. SMS appointment reminders have modest benefits and may be
appropriate for implementation. High quality trials measuring
clinical outcomes are needed.

• drawMD is a free app for the iPad to enhance doctor-patient
communication by offering interactive visual guides as a tool for explaining
complex issues and possible medical and surgical solutions.
• Select one of the detailed anatomic images from the 10 medical
specialties or upload your own, and then sketch, stamp, or type directly on
the images. Â The images and stamps are tailored to each specialty and
allow you to explain treatments and procedures in a personalized, easily
understood way. Then, share those images and notes with the patient and
retain them as a record of the consultation.
• With drawMD, patients better understand  conditions and procedures,
while the time required for the consultation is reduced. Simple, visuallyoriented consultations are more understandable for patients, and can
provide the context that is used to improve and engagement and
satisfaction.

Published January 15, 2013 • Background: Mobile health interventions could have beneficial effects on health care delivery processes. We aimed to conduct a systematic review of controlled trials of mobile technology interventions to improve health care delivery processes. • Conclusions: 1. The results for health care provider support interventions on diagnosis and management outcomes are generally consistent with modest benefits. 2. Trials using mobile technology-based photos reported reductions in correct diagnoses when compared to the gold standard. 3. SMS appointment reminders have modest benefits and may be appropriate for implementation. High quality trials measuring clinical outcomes are needed.

  1. DIAGNOSTIC TOOLSUse DxPlain: This is Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. It is a Rare disease. Therefore, it won’t be under the common problems. It will show up as highly likely with ++ PEPID only takes: Headache, severe; palmar erythema; skin rashes, erythematous, maculopapular; muscle pain (instead of myalgia) malaise and tick bite. Adding others confuses it. Exercises for Practice should be used as examples for Demo. Start demoing when you get to these slides. You can say something like “let’s work this exercise together…” and On your computer, you would go to ….. If you let them look this up first then show them how, you won’t make it thru all the content.
