  1. The Scope of Health Informatics Paul Robinson GP4 November 2002

  2. Informatics, a definition Informatics is the study of the structure, behaviour, and interactions of both natural and artificial computational systems.

  3. Theoretical Domains • Education • Epistemology • Semiotics • Linguistics • Sociology • Systems theory • Decision theory

  4. Health Informatics IT IS MORE THAN IT

  5. Health Informatics: a definition Health informatics comprises the science of information management in health care and its application to support clinical practice, decision-making and research.

  6. Plan • Information and the clinician • Information and records • Information and the organisation • The IER

  13. Information and the Organisation • Systems and standards • Clinical Governance • Evidence based health • Decision support • Information for the patient

  14. Yorkshire Faculty RCGP for Academy of Colleges Information Group

  15. Yorkshire Health Informatics Group • Yorkshire Deanery Group: first met September 1998 • 2 Course Organisers • 2 GP Tutors • 1 Trainer • 1 Research and Development Fellow • All GP Principals

  16. Sources • CSG • JIGSAW • SCHIN • Cedar Rapids

  17. Starting Points 3 domains of Health Informatics • Mechanics (how to use the tools) • Working with information • Communicating information

  18. Starting Points Informatics is not just for Tuesday afternoons

  19. What the IER is for • A definition of what needs to be learnt and taught • A resource to support this learning • A way to access other resources

  20. Aims The aim of the curriculum is to provide practitioners with the knowledge, skills and understanding that will enable them to: • Make effective use of computers and computer networks in their professional work. • Manage, use and evaluate medical information of different sorts. • Communicate information to patients and colleagues.

  21. Mapping the IER to the LTM document

  22. Developing the IER This has been iterative: • Course Organisers and GP tutors (March 99) • Training day for GP Trainers (June 99) • GPR Summer School (Sept 99) • Evaluation by Senior Lecturer in GP (Feb 2000) • Demonstration at MENM conference Glasgow • Demonstration to RCGP Faculty Computer Reps
