Summary Introduction: This article is part of the Focus Theme Methods Information in Medicine on German Medical Informatics Initiative. “Smart Technology for Healthcare (SMITH)” one four consortia funded by Initiative (MI-I) to create an alliance universities, university hospitals, research institutions and IT companies. SMITH’s goals are establish Data Integration Centers (DICs) at each SMITH partner hospital implement use cases which demonstrate usefulness approach. Objectives: To give...
Smartphones and related applications are increasingly gaining relevance in the healthcare domain. We previously assessed demands preferences of medical students towards an application accompanying them during a course on general practice. The current study aims to elucidate factors associated with adoption such technology. Therefore we provided prototype specifically their studies A total estimation among participating practice examination at Leipzig Medical School was conducted May 2014....
Not only architects but also information managers need models and modeling tools for their subject of work. Especially supporting strategic management in hospitals, the meta model 3LGM2 is presented as an ontological basis comprehensive system a hospital (HIS).In case study, requirements HIS have been deduced. Accordingly has designed to describe by concepts on three layers. The domain layer consists enterprise functions entity types, logical tool focuses application components physical...
Research software registries play an integral role in the process of making findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR). However, there are no guidelines available for FAIRifying listing research software. Identifying applicable criteria is a necessary step to develop recommendations that apply can later be utilized measure improve their FAIRness. Principles relate FAIR were mapped granular metrics. Afterwards, registry-applicable aspects selected summarized. This resulted 17...
Abstract: Information processing in hospitals, especially university is currently faced with two major issues: low-cost hardware and progress networking technology leads to a further decentralization of computing capacity, due the increasing need for information hospitals economic restrictions, it necessary use, commercial software products. This heterogeneous hospital systems using variety products, stronger demand integrating these products and, general, dedicated methodology management...
Summary Background: In recent years, research data warehouses moved increasingly into the focus of interest medical research. Nevertheless, there are only a few center-independent infrastructure solutions available. They aim to provide consolidated view on from various sources such as clinical trials, electronic health records, epidemiological registries or longitudinal cohorts. The i2b2 framework is well-established solution for repositories, but it lacks support importing and integrating...
Summary Objectives: We introduce the 3LGM2 tool, a tool for modeling information systems, and describe process of parts hospital system Leipzig University Hospital (UKLa). modeled sub systems five patient record archiving sections to support creation proposal governmental financial new document management system. explain steps identifying model elements their relations as well analyzing capabilities answer questions about Methods: The was developed on basis meta which is described in detail...
In medical education and practice, smartphone apps are increasingly becoming popular. general could play an important future role in supporting practice.To explore students' perceptions regarding the potential of a practice app for training subsequent work as physician.Cross-sectional survey among Leipzig fourth-year students who were provided with prototype mandatory course.Response rate was 99.3% (n = 305/307); 59.0% female mean age 24.5 years. Students certified that had higher than...
Summary Background: For more than 30 years, there has been close cooperation between Japanese and German scientists with regard to information systems in health care. Collaboration formalized by an agreement the respective scientific associations. Following this agreement, two joint workshops took place explore similarities differences of electronic record (EHRS) against background national healthcare that share many commonalities. Objectives: To establish a framework requirements for...
Translational medicine research needs a two-way information highway between 'bedside' and 'bench'. Unfortunately there are still weak links successfully integrated roads for bench, i.e. networks, bedside, regional or national health systems. The question arises, what measures have to be taken overcome the deficiencies.It is examined how patient care-related costs of clinical can separated shared by insurances, whether quality care data sufficient research, identity maintained without...
Description The Open Source software i2b2 [1] provides a translational research platform for storing biomedical data and querying these with user-friendly interface researchers (Figure 1). Despite its powerful features, it is lacking tools installation configuration, the import of source creation comprehensive navigational structure (i2b2 ontology). To close gaps, Integrated Data Repository Toolkit (IDRT), consisting three tools, has been created. Wizard shell GUI configuration instances,...
The German Medical Informatics Initiative makes clinical routine data available for biomedical research. In total, 37 university hospitals have set up so-called integration centers to facilitate this reuse. A standardized of HL7 FHIR profiles ("MII Core Data Set") defines the common model across all centers. Regular Projectathons ensure continuous evaluation implemented sharing processes on artificial and real-world use cases. context, continues rise in popularity exchanging patient care...
