 Special reports from the system easily
Objective:
 Safety and performance
 Clinical and non-clinical patient
interactive effects on economical
 Organizational
 Social
 Juridical
 Ethical aspects of healthcare

5. REQUIREMENTS:
 Simple physician’s clinic
 Large nation-wide chain of hospitals
 Any healthcare setting
 Clinic management systems
 Lab management systems
 Radiology information systems
 Hospital information systems
 Analysis of “big-data” is fast
ACCREDITATION:
 NABH and NABL accreditation
 Extensive quality reporting required

6. 2. ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORDS:
 Stored health information in a digital format
shared across different health care settings
 Records are shared through network
 Medical history
 Data stored accurately, legible & effective
 Eliminate paper error

7. Goals and objectives
Improve care quality, safety, efficiency, reduce health
disparities
Quality and safety measurement
Clinical decision support (automated advice)
Patient registries (e.g., "a directory of patients with
diabetes")
Improve care coordination
Engage patients and families in their care
Improve population and public health
Electronic laboratory reporting (hospitals)
health event awareness
Ensure privacy and security protections

8. 3. TELEMEDICINE:
 Telecommunication and information
technologies
 To provide clinical health care at a
distance
 Eliminate distance barriers
 Improve access to medical services
 Not be consistently available rural
communities
 Using 2G/3G network
USES:
 Critical care
 Emergency situations

9. PROCESS:
 Transmission
 Imaging
 Health informatics data
OTHER DEVICES:
 Telemedicine achieved with telephone and radio- video-
telephony
 Advanced diagnostic methods - distributed client/server
applications
 Additionally with tele-medical devices to support in-home
care.

10. 4. CAD – COMPUTER AIDED DIAGNOSIS:
 CAD is an interdisciplinary technology
(artificial intelligence + computer vision)
 Radiological-image processing
 X-ray, MRI, and Ultrasound diagnostics
 Short time
 Scan digital images
e.g. computed tomography
USES:
 Detection of a tumor
 Medical check-ups in mammography
(diagnosis of breast cancer)
 Lung cancer

11. DIAGNOSIS:
 Pathological Brain Detection (PBD)
 Breast cancer
 Lung cancer
 Bone metastases

12. 5. ROBOTICS:
 Surgery operation
 More precise and less invasive
methods
 Tele-manipulators which use the
surgeon's actions on one side to control
the “Effector" on the other side

13. 1 Types of medical robots
Surgical robots
Rehabilitation robots
Bio-robots
Tele-presence robots
Pharmacy automationDisinfection robot &
(APPLICATIONS)

14. 6. SIMULATION LEARNING:
 Education and training in medical fields of various
industries
 Simulated human patients
 Educational documents with detailed simulated
animation
 Homeland security and military situations
 emergency response
 To train medical professional
 Reduce accidents during surgery
 Train students in anatomy and physiology
Other statistics include:
(225,000 deaths error +106,000 deaths non-
error)
7,391 deaths resulted from medication
errors

Selections of specialist
Diagnosis solutions
Remedies
Telemedicine
Acess through any electronic
communication devices
Report & bills are send to
E-mail
PROCEDURE:

17. 7. NON-INVASIVE TREATMENT:
 The body of foreign objects or materials
 Radiotherapy
 Minimally invasive surgeries
(Cyber & Gamma Knife)
 Treatment of stones in the kidney, gallbladder
or liver
 pulse-taking
 the auscultation of heart sounds and lung sounds (using the
stethoscope)
 temperature examination(using thermometer)
 blood pressure measurement (using the sphygmomanometer)
 audiometry
 eye examination, and many others
Some invasive devices:

18. APPLICATIONS:
Infrared
(imaging of the body)
Diffuse optical
tomographyBioluminescence imaging
burn fatcomputed tomography

19. 8. HEALTH INFORMATION PORT:
OBJECTIVES:
 Improve health care quality
 Prevent medical errors
 Reduce health care costs
 Increase administrative efficiencies
 Decrease paperwork
 Expand access to affordable care
Applications
Prescription refills online order
 Eye glasses & contact lenses
Access medical records pay bills
 Review lab results, and schedule medical
appointments

20. Disadvantages:
 Shortcoming of most patient portal
 Single health organization
 Patient uses more than one organization for
healthcare- needs to log on to each
 Results in a fragmented view
 A secure manner through the Internet
 Increasing efficiency and productivity
 Patients to communicate with healthcare
providers by asking questions, leaving
comments
 Sending e-mail messages
Advantages:
