Data interoperability requires the adoption and
implementation of common and (ideally) open
standards. Lack of interoperability limits the
re-use of data between healthcare organisations
within a country and across borders. The rise of
cloud platforms and mobile technology further
complicates the data environment. “Data gets
captured and it is quite complex and hard to
share,” says David Hansen, CEO of the Australian
e-Health Research Centre, CSIRO. “When shared,
it is often not computable. Human intervention
is needed to do analytics and this is really
expensive.”
All countries except Spain achieve the highest
score on this indicator, demonstrating that
digital health and health information industrybased
technical standards for data exchange,
transmission, messaging, security, privacy and
hardware are in use in the majority of applications
and systems to ensure the availability of highquality
data.
Digital health literacy and internet connectivity
are ‘super’ social determinants of health, as
they have the power to affect the wider social
determinants of health.17 Although the use of
digital tools – such as apps, patient portals, and
monitoring devices – provides better support
beyond clinical settings, greater reliance on them
can increase the disparity between people with
digital access and skills and those without, and (by
extension) health disparities.18 “One of the major
concerns globally in digital health has been tech
equity,” says Majmudar. “The digital divide could
worsen. You need access to the internet, tools
and resources. Every country should focus on
connectivity, including the US. Can people afford
the data plans they need to access telemedicine
and remote care? Do we have connectivity in
every area, urban or rural?”

The Importance of Black Women Understanding the Chemicals in Their Personal C...bkling
Certain chemicals, such as phthalates and parabens, can disrupt the body's hormones and have significant effects on health. According to data, hormone-related health issues such as uterine fibroids, infertility, early puberty and more aggressive forms of breast and endometrial cancers disproportionately affect Black women. Our guest speaker, Jasmine A. McDonald, PhD, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Epidemiology at Columbia University in New York City, discusses the scientific reasons why Black women should pay attention to specific chemicals in their personal care products, like hair care, and ways to minimize their exposure.
This particular slides consist of- what is hypotension,what are it's causes and it's effect on body, risk factors, symptoms,complications, diagnosis and role of physiotherapy in it.
This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is the summary of hypotension:
Hypotension, or low blood pressure, is when the pressure of blood circulating in the body is lower than normal or expected. It's only a problem if it negatively impacts the body and causes symptoms. Normal blood pressure is usually between 90/60 mmHg and 120/80 mmHg, but pressures below 90/60 are generally considered hypotensive.
This particular slides consist of- what is Pneumothorax,what are it's causes and it's effect on body, risk factors, symptoms,complications, diagnosis and role of physiotherapy in it.
This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is a summary of Pneumothorax:
Pneumothorax, also known as a collapsed lung, is a condition that occurs when air leaks into the space between the lung and chest wall. This air buildup puts pressure on the lung, preventing it from expanding fully when you breathe. A pneumothorax can cause a complete or partial collapse of the lung.
End-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) is the level of carbon dioxide that is released at the end of an exhaled breath. ETCO2 levels reflect the adequacy with which carbon dioxide (CO2) is carried in the blood back to the lungs and exhaled.
Non-invasive methods for ETCO2 measurement include capnometry and capnography. Capnometry provides a numerical value for ETCO2. In contrast, capnography delivers a more comprehensive measurement that is displayed in both graphical (waveform) and numerical form.
Sidestream devices can monitor both intubated and non-intubated patients, while mainstream devices are most often limited to intubated patients.

3. eHealth
• eHealth (or e-health) is a relatively recent term for healthcare
practice supported by electronic processes and
communication, dating back to at least 1999.
• World Health Organization definition: eHealth is the cost-
effective and secure use of information and communications
technologies in support of health and health-related fields,
including healthcare services, health surveillance, health
literature, and health education, knowledge and research.
• European Commission: the use of modern information and
communication technologies to meet needs of citizens,
patients, healthcare professionals, healthcare providers, and
policymakers

4. Common Terms in eHealth
• Electronic health record (EHR), or electronic medical
record (EMR): systematized collection of patient and population
health data in a digital format that is electronically-stored
• Clinical decision support system (CDSS): ICT solution designed
to provide health professionals with clinical decision support (CDS)
such as assistance with clinical decision-making tasks
• Telemedicine: physical and psychological diagnosis and
treatments at a distance, including telemonitoring of patient
functions
4
5. eHealth Interventions
• Delivering health information to health professionals and health
consumers through the Internet and telecommunication
• Using IT and e-commerce to improve public health services―for
example, through the education and training of health workers
• Applying e-commerce and e-business practices in health systems
management (planning, budgeting, accounting, etc.)

6. Why eHealth?
• In many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), health system
challenges relating to weak governance, health workforce
shortages, and geographic and economic barriers to care impede
effective delivery of health services to those in need.
• Information and communication technology (ICT) offers the potential
for addressing some of these challenges with innovative solutions,
especially if offered at scale.
• LMICs account for three-quarters of the rapidly expanding Internet
and mobile cellular subscriptions globally, thus creating
opportunities for innovative and cost-effective health services
through the use of ICT.

7. Application of eHealth in HIS
Data collection
• Use of hand-held devices
• Automated information messaging
• Use of different data management applications such as DHIS 2,
iHRIS, and eLMIS to collect, aggregate, and report routine data.
Data management and storage
• To address requirements of interoperability and integrated sets of
data
• More sophisticated data storage to address complexity and
variability of health data across the health enterprise
• Relational databases are increasingly the norm, as opposed to the
older, flat database formats that limited functionality and scalability,
such as Microsoft Excel workbooks
7
8. Application of eHealth in HMIS
Data analysis, presentation, and use
• Extraction and triangulation of health data
• Data analysis and synthesis tools to produce routine or ad hoc
reports, identify trends and issues of concerns, and track
progress
• Data dashboards and other data visualization tools can be
customized to include maps (geographic information systems,
or GIS)
Data quality
• Tools for improving data quality include data standardization,
geocoding, data matching, data monitoring, and profiling.

9. Common Terms in mHealth
mHealth or m-Health: includes the use of mobile devices in:
• Collecting aggregate and patient-level health data
• Providing healthcare information to practitioners, researchers, and
patients via Short Message Services (SMS) platforms such as
mHero
• Real-time monitoring of patient vital signs and direct provision of
care
9
10. mHealth Applications
• Rapid collection/sharing of current data via mobile phones
• Public health and lifestyle messages over mobile phones
• Medication alerts using mobile phones
• E-prescribing for repeat prescriptions via mobile phones
• Telemonitoring to transmit patient results to clinicians
10
11. mHealth Applications
• Transmission of test results to patients via SMS messages
• Online electronic health records via computer or phone
• Clinical emergency care for accidents, natural disasters
• Patient appointment booking and alerts via wireless e-mail
(continuity of care)
• Efficient workflow via wireless communication
11
12. Limitations and Considerations
• Lack of knowledge by health professionals concerning
the possible applications of eHealth
• Unknown cost-effectiveness of mHealth/eHealth
initiatives
• Cost of implementing eHealth solutions is perceived to be
high
12
13. Limitations and Considerations
• ICT infrastructure and particularly Internet access limited
by low connectivity and bandwidth (urban areas are
better covered than rural areas)
• Absence of legal guidelines on privacy and confidentiality
in the eHealth and mHealth domains
• Change management to consider to deal with the new
ICT cultural environment
13
15. Ecology of HIS in LMICs
• Widespread dissatisfaction among both users and
producers of health information
• Complex and fragmented by disease-focused programs
and donors
• Epidemic of indicators and burdensome demands on
health personnel
• Poor quality data; lack of common standards; data
inconsistencies and inefficiencies; difficult to analyze and
synthesize

16. What Is Enterprise Architecture?
Enterprise architecture is the technical foundation of an effective
IT strategy. It consists of four types of interrelated architecture:
1. Business architecture
2. Data or information architecture
3. Application architecture
4. Technology architecture
Health information
system (HIS)
architecture

17. Need for Enterprise Architecture?
To give management the big picture
Enterprise architecture gives a “systems thinking” view that combines vision
and strategy, business architecture, information systems, and technology
domains.
To align IT investments with business goals
Creating a platform for business-ICT stakeholder collaboration is essential.
Effective EA supports strategy, analysis, and planning by providing
stakeholders a blueprint of the current state of the business and IT
landscape, and of the desired future state (vision).
To provide IT developers with specific requirements for software
applications
The business architecture provides the IT developer with the specific
software requirements of an application.

20. HIS Architecture
• Can align and leverage investments to build stronger and
better integrated HIS supporting better health policy and
local health services management, and ultimately stronger
health systems
• To be built on a coherent set of best practices for promoting
data integration
• To foster stakeholder groups to collaboratively build on
common components and a common architecture within the
HIS
• Helps identify and create interoperability between the
components of the system
20
22. Summary
• Plethora of tools, methods, and practices for data collection and
analysis have created an unsustainable burden on frontline health
workers.
• This burden causes poor data quality and diverts critical health
resources from using information for decision making at all
management levels.
• An enterprise architecture approach can help address these
challenges.
• Improving health system performance through the consistent use
of EA will be the blueprint for better health outcomes resulting
from the routine use of better information to stronger national
health information systems.
