  2. Outline • What Health Informatics is • Who wants Health Informatics • A history of Health Informatics

  3. What Health Informatics is

  4. What is health informatics ? Informatics, as applied to healthcare, of course!

  5. What’s Informatics, then? • Jargon term, even in 2005 • Some dictionaries xRefer to ‘Information Science’ • = librarianship ‘The creation, recognition, representation, collection, organization, transformation, communication, evaluation and control of information in a system…The art, science and human dimensions of information technologies.’Indiana University School of Journalism 2002

  6. United Kingdom Infrastructure Hospitals Doctors Nurses Annual Cost (2002) UK USA WesternWorld Population GP Consultations per year A&E Consults per year Hospital Admissions New OPD referrals What is ‘Healthcare’? DEMAND (UK) SUPPLY 59 Million 2000 91,000 (1:650) 300 Million (95% of population) 500,000 ~14% of population $130 billion (£1200 per citizen) $1.5 trillion (£3000 per citizen) $3 trillion (£1500 per citizen) ~23% of population ~18% of population

  7. What health informatics is #1 The understanding, skills and tools that enable the sharing and use of information to deliver healthcare and promote health.British Health Informatics Society

  8. What health informatics is #2 The knowledge, skills and tools which enable information to be collected, managed, used and shared to support the delivery of healthcare and promote health (qv BMIS) Lead, promote and manage use of resources to improve health care delivery Identify, collect, analyse, disseminate and maintain data and information to improve health care delivery Enable, develop and manage knowledge to improve health care delivery Plan, implement, sustain and review the provision of ICT to support and improve health care delivery NHS National Occupational Standards for Health Informatics 2004

  9. What health informatics is #3 It is the rational study of the way we think about patients, and the way that treatments are defined, selected and evolved. It is the study of how clinical knowledge is created, shaped, shared and applied. Ultimately, it is the study of how we organise ourselves to create and run healthcare organisations. Enrico Coiera, U New South Wales Guide to Health Informatics 2nd Edition

  10. What health informatics is #4 The scientific field that deals with the storage, retrieval, sharing, and optimal use of biomedical information, data, and knowledge for problem solving and decision making. It touches on all basic and applied fields in biomedical science and is closely tied to modern information technologies, notably in the areas of computing and communication. The emergence of medical informatics as a new discipline is due in large part to rapid advances in computing and communications technology, to an increasing awareness that the knowledge base of biomedicine is essentially unmanageable by traditional paper-based methods, and to a growing conviction that the process of informed decision making is as important to modern biomedicine as is the collection of facts on which clinical decisions or research plans are made. Ted Shortliffe, Columbia University

  14. Who wants Health Informatics?

  15. Who wants health informatics?The Clinicians’ Story • 11% of lab tests repeated • Because result is lost • 30% of treatment orders are undocumented • 70% of acutely ill patients get right treatment • 30% get contraindicated treatment • 500% growth in number of new drugs in a decade

  16. One doctor’s clinic….…one patient’s notes

  17. Who wants health informatics?The Clinicians’ Story • Increasing patient expectation and education • Increasing litigation • Demand for transparent processes • Clinical governance and audit • Unmanageable cognitive burden • Approx 100 articles published in 1966 from RCTs; • Over 10,000 annually by 1995 (Chassin, 1998) • ‘The scarcely tolerable burden of information that is imposed taxes the memory but not the intellect’ (GMC 1993)

  18. Who wants health informatics?The Accountants’ Story • Spiralling health care costs • Developed world in 2002: USD $3 Trillion on 1.2 billion people • 11% of GDP • e.g. $5.5M in 37 Days on one patient (Duke University) • Per capita health cost inflation: 8% per year • Population expansion • Demographic shift • New advances • No visible means of control

  20. Management & Policy Evidence based health care Clinical trials recruitment Clinical Practice, Audit & Governance A Convergence of Need Post genomic research Need for more and better clinical information

  21. Who wants health informatics?Stakeholders • Health professionals • Doctors (Primary / secondary care) • Nurses • Allied professions • Administrators / Government • Researchers • Pharmaceutical Companies • IT professionals • Patients ?????????

  22. Health Informatics:A History

  23. Computers • Prototypes • Transistors • Integrated circuits • Microcomputer; Windows. 1990 Internet; Web 2000 Google

  24. 1965: Moore’s Law “The density of transistors on a chip will double every 2 years” Gordon E. Moore, INTEL co-founder

  25. Health informaticsA History: The 50s & 60s 1959 Ledley “Reasoning foundations of medical diagnosis” 1960’s onward – Barnett “Mumps”First version had 4k core and 1k for each of 4 users. Everything stored on tape (1 per patient).‘Great day’ when got first hard disk, storing 30k 1961 Methods Inf Medicine Vol 1 1964 NLM adopts Medlars / Index Medicus 1969 Weed “Problem-oriented medical record” • World’s first EPRNursing system, Kings College London Systems predominantly for payroll, or pathology High volume Repetitious Rule-based processing (of numerical data)

  26. Systems still mainly finance or pathology Data Processing becomes ‘computer systems’ Early steps to manage and control IT in healthcare First hints at potential for better information to upset apple cart: Protti told by CEO not to collect prescribing data at physician level Health informaticsA History: The 70s • World’s first real-time GP system(Whipton, Essex) • 1972 de Dombal “Computer-aided diagnosis of abdominal pain”. Anderson King’s College Hospital record system. 1974 First Medinfo conference, Stockholm. • EMI scanner 1979 Founding of IMIAInternational Medical Informatics Association

  27. 1970: A moment in history… 1970 Delivery of fastranII main backing store for 418/III at The London Hospital: Capacity 132 Mb.

  28. BCS PHCSG Founded 1982 Micros for GPs scheme READ codes 1983 BJHC Launched 1984 Korner report, UK HIMMS 1986 BMIS Founded AMIA Founded 1990 Wessex IT Scandal (£63M) 1990 HL7 v 2.1 First steps to HL7 v 3.0 1991 GP system RFA1 1992 London Ambulance Despatch System Disaster 1993 Cochrane collaboration 1994 UMLS JAMIA 1999 Information for Health Health informaticsA History: 80s and 90s 1980s 1990s First integrated Hospital Information Systems Shift to clinical systems Goal now to improve quality of care

  29. Health informaticsRecent History • 2000 • Electronic Record Development and Implementation Programme • 2002-2003 • Wanless Report • SNOMED CT • National Programme for NHS IT (CfH) • Integrated Care Record Service • UK Council for Health Informatics Professionals (UKCHIP) • 2005 • NHS Faculty of Health Informatics

  30. Health InformaticsBest Practice in 2005 • Denmark • 85% of health sector integrated within single system • 2 million messages a month • Central database of all prescriptions and all lab tests • New Zealand • 75% of health sector integrated • 3 million messages a month • Veterans Administration • $21 billion, covering 25 million servicemen & families • Highest score in every category of quality assessment in 2003 • Care based on VISTA, enabling Continuous Quality Control • Cost per patient static over last decade (all other US providers 50%)

  31. Health InformaticsInto the future • New Focus • Clinical Data Repositories • Surrounded by rule-based alerts and DSS • New Technologies • Designer Drugs and Bioinformatics • Wearable Computing and RFID • Wireless Connectivity and New portable formats • New Users • Patient Empowerment and Intelligent Agents • New Drivers • Patient Safety • Regulation and Accountability of Solutions

  32. Recap • Medicine is broken • Medicine is expensive • IT hasn’t helped yet despite 40 years • But we live in hope
