Personalized Medicine with IBM-Watson: Future of Cancer carejetweedy
Watson for Genomics uses IBM's Watson cognitive computing system to help personalize cancer care. It analyzes genomic sequencing data and clinical records to provide treatment suggestions and clinical trial matches for patients in minutes, compared to weeks for traditional approaches. Researchers are finalizing the algorithm and testing it in clinical trials. Watson draws from a large corpus of medical literature and patient data to understand questions, generate hypotheses, and provide evidence to support its answers. It could help reduce health professionals' workload and improve access to care, though challenges remain in developing the algorithm and acquiring sufficient data sets.
This document summarizes presentations from a health informatics seminar covering three main themes: data collection and analytics, patient-technology interaction, and clinical and translational science. It describes several presentations within each theme, including topics on sensor-based data collection, data analytics in healthcare, usability of patient portals, telerehabilitation, and using health informatics to provide healthcare solutions for those in transitional housing. The document concludes that health informatics is a growing field aimed at improving healthcare quality and reducing costs through the use of health information technology.
This document discusses how monitoring and evaluation (M&E) systems can support program evaluation through three case studies. It finds that while M&E systems may not replace randomized controlled trials, they can provide adequate evidence when integrated data from routine collection and surveys are analyzed together. Specifically, the document examines how M&E data has been used to evaluate the impact of a community health insurance scheme in Burkina Faso, a malaria partnership in Tanzania, and an HIV prevention program in India. In each case, the M&E system data provided plausible evidence of impact when analyzed longitudinally and through dose-response relationships, though the studies fell short of experimental evidence.
Telehealth and Mental Health offers opportunities to expand access to mental healthcare. New technologies now allow for telehealth applications like mobile health apps for symptom tracking, counseling, and treatment progress monitoring. Online video game therapy is also being used to help those with conditions like ADHD, anxiety, and autism by providing engaging activities that can inhibit hyperactivity. Telehealth benefits vulnerable groups as well, such as geriatric patients who have risks of isolation, non-compliance, and limited care access, which can lead to earlier nursing home placement.
The document discusses engaging laboratory staff in electronic health record (EHR) implementation to reduce safety risks.

February 8, 2019, Black-Box Medicine: Legal and Ethical Issues: A Health Policy and Bioethics Consortium
Black-box medicine—the use of opaque computational models to make care decisions—has the potential to shape health care by improving and aiding many medical tasks. For example, IBM Watson for Oncology is a machine-learning system that intends to help clinicians quickly identify essential information in patients’ medical records and explore treatment options for 13 cancers. However, it has only recently emerged that the recommendations Watson for Oncology gave for cancer treatments were “often incorrect” and that IBM kept this defect secret for over a year. What are the ethical and legal issues of black-box medicine? When do algorithms operate like a “black box“? How can we ensure that artificial intelligence technologies deliver what they promise?
The We Care A Lot Organization helps burn victims through treatment and pain management. It aims to improve patient care and outcomes using new technologies like virtual therapy and telehealth tools.

Introduction
Evaluation plan involves an integral part regarding a grant suggestion providing information aimed at improving a project during the development and implementation. I will participate in the assessment of the scenario system in throughout the project. The scenario includes the hospital that is implementing the new unified as well as the Ambulatory EHR (Electronic Health Record) system that enhances the documentation of patient care. The purpose of the paper is explaining the selected scenario one, explanation of the reasons for selecting it, and summarizing of the research findings on the similar HIT implementations. More so, there is a description of the evaluation viewpoint, and goal guiding the assessment plan and same rationale.
HIT System Selected
The new system to be implemented has various modules that contain interdisciplinary assessment forms, medical notes, and clinical decision support where their documentation is guaranteed. The implementation of the unified system will enhance improved performance of the hospital in several departments. The new EHR system becomes of great importance to the hospital since there is a reduction of medical errors, reduction of the rate of the safety events of each patient, improving the quality of healthcare, deterrence of sentinel events, reduced patients readmissions as well as impact spending. Another reason for choosing the scenario is that the new system will enhance while fulfilling the requirements of meaningful use as stipulated in the HITECH (Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health) Act. Therefore, the need for evaluation regarding the EHR implementation becomes paramount since it will help to identify the associated risks while adjusting the modules required when offering the medication services to the patients (Lanham, Leykum & McDaniel, 2012).
Summary of Research Findings on Similar HIT Implementations
Several evaluations are analogous to the HIT system implementation of the unified system with related differences regarding the outcomes based on the primary goals. For instance, some of the implemented systems fail to meet one hundred percent ...

Next generation electronic medical records and search a test implementation i...lucenerevolution
Presented by David Piraino, Chief Imaging Information Officer, Imaging Institute Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland Clinic
& Daniel Palmer, Chief Imaging Information Officer, Imaging Institute Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland Clinic
Most patient specifc medical information is document oriented with varying amounts of associated meta-data. Most of pateint medical information is textual and semi-structured. Electronic Medical Record Systems (EMR) are not optimized to present the textual information to users in the most understandable ways. Present EMRs show information to the user in a reverse time oriented patient specific manner only. This talk discribes the construction and use of Solr search technologies to provide relevant historical information at the point of care while intepreting radiology images.
Radiology reports over a 4 year period were extracted from our Radiology Information System (RIS) and passed through a text processing engine to extract the results, impression, exam description, location, history, and date. Fifteen cases reported during clinical practice were used as test cases to determine if ""similar"" historical cases were found . The results were evaluated by the number of searches that returned any result in less than 3 seconds and the number of cases that illustrated the questioned diagnosis in the top 10 results returned as determined by a bone and joint radiologist. Also methods to better optimize the search results were reviewed.
An average of 7.8 out of the 10 highest rated reports showed a similar case highly related to the present case. The best search showed 10 out of 10 cases that were good examples and the lowest match search showed 2 out of 10 cases that were good examples.The talk will highlight this specific use case and the issues and advances of using Solr search technology in medicine with focus on point of care applications.

DATA MINING CLASSIFICATION ALGORITHMS FOR KIDNEY DISEASE PREDICTION IJCI JOURNAL
Data mining is a non-trivial process of categorizing valid, novel, potentially useful and ultimately understandable patterns in data. In terms, it accurately state as the extraction of information from a huge database. Data mining is a vital role in several applications such as business organizations, educational institutions, government sectors, health care industry, scientific and engineering. . In the health care
industry, the data mining is predominantly used for disease prediction. Enormous data mining techniques are existing for predicting diseases namely classification, clustering, association rules, summarizations, regression and etc. The main objective of this research work is to predict kidney diseases using classification algorithms such as Naïve Bayes and Support Vector Machine. This research work mainly
focused on finding the best classification algorithm based on the classification accuracy and execution time performance factors. From the experimental results it is observed that the performance of the SVM is better than the Naive Bayes classifier algorithm.
This study surveyed family practice clinics in Alberta, Canada to assess meaningful electronic medical record (EMR) use levels and identify factors contributing to higher use. The study found clinics in Edmonton reported the highest EMR use. Factors correlated with increased use included participation in programs like POSP, better innovation-values fit, stronger implementation climate with clear goals and support, and intrinsic rather than extrinsic motivation. The study also identified limitations like a small sample size and need for further validation of the meaningful EMR use scale.
This document discusses health information technology (HIT) problems at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia's clinic. It begins with an introduction to HIT and its benefits, including cost reduction, quality improvement, and better patient experience. However, HIT implementation can be difficult and introduce new issues. The document then examines specific problems, including new errors from HIT systems, such as incorrect drug selections, and information overload for clinicians. It also notes challenges from the variety and complexity of clinic workflows. Interviews with clinic staff and doctors identified current HIT system problems at the Universiti Teknologi Malaysia clinic.
Application Evaluation Project Part 1 Evaluation Plan FocusTec.docxalfredai53p
Application: Evaluation Project Part 1: Evaluation Plan Focus
Technology increases human effectiveness. Using a lever, you can move an object several times your size. In an airplane, you can move exponentially faster than on foot. Using the Internet, you can access information much more quickly than at a library. What possibilities like this exist in the nursing field? What health information technologies can amplify your impact as a nurse far more than ever before? In this Evaluation Project, you will have the opportunity to answer these questions.
Because of the great differences between HIT systems and different goals of an evaluation, there is no one-size-fits-all evaluation plan. Different technologies require different evaluation methods. Consequently, in this part of your Evaluation Project, you will conduct research on how system implementations similar to the one you select have been previously evaluated. After exploring similar system implementations, you will select one research goal and viewpoint to use in the evaluation.
Read the following three scenarios, and select the one that is of most interest to you:
Scenario 1:
Your hospital is implementing a new unified acute and ambulatory Electronic Health Record (EHR) system through which patient care documentation will occur. Interdisciplinary assessment forms (including nursing), clinical decision support, and medical notes will be documented in this system. The implementation of the system is anticipated to improve the hospital’s performance in a multitude of areas. In particular, it is hoped that the use of the EHR system will reduce the rate of patient safety events, improve the quality of care, deter sentinel events, reduce patient readmissions, and impact spending. The implementation of the EHR system is also intended to fulfill the “Meaningful Use” requirements stipulated in the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act. As the hospital’s lead nurse informaticist, you have been tasked with planning the evaluation of the EHR implementation.
Scenario 2:
As the lead nurse informaticist in your hospital, you have been given the task of planning an evaluation for a soon-to-be launched computerized provider order entry (CPOE) system. The CPOE system is designed to replace conventional methods of placing medication, laboratory, admission, referral, and radiology orders. CPOE systems enable health care providers to electronically specify orders, rather than rely on paper prescriptions, telephone calls, and faxes. The intended goal of a CPOE system is to improve safety by ensuring that orders are easily comprehensible through the use of evidence-based order sets. In addition, the CPOE system has the potential for improving workflow by avoiding duplicate orders and reducing the steps between those who place medical orders and their recipients.
Scenario 3:
You are the lead nurse informaticist in a large urban hospital that has recently implemented a new .

Key Topics in Health Care Technology Evaluation
The amount of new information and data, and the number of available technologies are growing at an ever-accelerating rate. Did you know that during any given 24 hours, humanity generates enough new information to fill the Library of Congress 70 times (Smolan & Erwitt, 2012)? As a nurse informaticist, it is important to keep current on new developments in the field, but with the rapid pace of change, that effort can be overwhelming. It is easier to keep current with key trends if nurse informaticists focus on selected issues.
In this Discussion, you consider key topics in the field of health care technology. You then consider the different approaches you could take when designing an evaluation in these areas. For example, if you are interested in usability, your goal could be to determine if a system is user friendly from the viewpoint of a nurse. A different goal might be to determine if the location of the system facilitates ease of use from the viewpoint of physicians.
Note:
This Discussion serves as practice for the first part of your Evaluation Project. What you derive from your Discussion with colleagues will likely inform the work that you do in Part 1 of the Evaluation Project.
The Discussion focuses on the following major topics in the health care information field:
Implementing HIT Systems
Consumer health information
Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE)

The Electronic Health Record ( Ehr ) SystemAlexis Naranjo
The document discusses the electronic health record (EHR) system. It explains that an EHR is a digital version of a patient's medical history that contains their personal details, health concerns, medical histories, test results, medications, and more. The EHR allows quick access to patient information for medical practitioners and facilitates improved care. It also assists clinicians in scheduling and supports evidence-based decision making. However, successful implementation of an EHR system depends on technical, behavioral, and management factors.
10 Benefits an EPCR Software should Bring to EMS Organizations Traumasoft LLC
The benefits of an ePCR solution should extend to the whole EMS organization, not just certain groups of people or certain departments. It should provide more than just a form for entering and a database for storing information. It should also include a workflow of how information is communicated, used and stored across the entire organization.

Mercurius is named after the roman god mercurius, the god of trade and science. The planet mercurius is named after the same god. Mercurius is sometimes called hydrargyrum, means ‘watery silver’. Its shine and colour are very similar to silver, but mercury is a fluid at room temperatures. The name quick silver is a translation of hydrargyrum, where the word quick describes its tendency to scatter away in all directions.
The droplets have a tendency to conglomerate to one big mass, but on being shaken they fall apart into countless little droplets again. It is used to ignite explosives, like mercury fulminate, the explosive character is one of its general themes.
