Clinical Informatics: Improving Health Care Quality through Information Technology
|
Sponsored by the UMDNJ IAIMS Project, Informatics Institute and Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Center for Disease Management and Clinical Outcomes
(Editor's note, May 11, 2005: Those presentations
made at the Wednesday, May 3, 2005, symposium that the presentors authorized

are
linked below. Individuals with questions about these or other presentations
are encouraged to contact the presentors.)
There is an emerging consensus that information technology is key to improving
the quality of health care delivery. The Institute of Medicine has identified
the electronic medical record (EMR) as an essential technology for health
care and has asserted that information technology is necessary to prevention
of medical errors. In 2004, President Bush appointed a director of national
health information technology to coordinate the development of a national
health information infrastructure. This symposium covered the major uses
of information technology in health care for record keeping, communication,
decision support and quality improvement. It was of interest to practitioners,
administrators of provider organizations and anyone responsible for healthcare
quality improvement for outcomes management.
