6. Healthcare & Biomedical IT is HARD
Individuals are highly variable biological systems.
Clinical measurements rarely have precise meaning.
Diagnoses lack clinical detail.
Clinical work is a chaotic, opaque ecosystem.
Perspectives vary by role.
7. Biomedical Informatics
Definition:
Science that deals with information, its structure, acquisition
and use
Cornerstones:
Techniques to structure, discover, visualize & reason
with information content
Approaches to link people, process & technology
together as a system
Methods to evaluate systems and their technology
components
Processes to facilitate change

22. Evidence-Based Contributions to
Ventilator Management
Ventilator weaning protocol reduces vent time (Ely; NEJM
1996 Dec 19;335(25):1864-9 )
Consistent use of low tidal volume and low airway pressures
reduces mortality by 25% (ARDS Network: NEJM 342: 1301-
8, 2000)
Activated protein C for Sepsis reduces mortality by 20%
(Bernard; NEJM 2001 Mar 8;344(10):699-709)
No need to normalize PCO2, drastic reduction in use of
arterial blood gases (ARDS Network: NEJM 342: 1301-
8, 2000)
PA Catheters not beneficial, 90% reduction in use (ARDS
Network: NEJM 2006;354:2213-24)
Consistent conservative use of fluids shortens ventilator time
by 3 days (ARDS Network: N Engl J Med 2006;354:2564-75)
Wake up and breath; sedation holiday improves survival. (VU
Delirium Group: Lancet 2008 Jan 12;371(9607):126-34)

35. Summary
Automation & connectivity get you only 60%
In addition to automation and connectivity need to view
and leverage clinical systems for Information Liquidity
Need for dashboards and knowledge engines that sit on
top of the information.
Need BI/Analytics Platform that leverage the information.
This architecture is scalable
Managing Risk:
◦ What problems are worth solving (BI)
◦ Key interventions to reliably intervene (dashboards +
automation of decision support)
