Abstract

This paper reports on an initial investigation into the role of health informatics in the context of global health. Statistics from the World Health Organisation (WHO) concerning mortality rates and disease burden are presented and based on these statistics HIV/AIDS is chosen as a clinical domain for investigation. The results highlight the lack of health service capacity in some geographical regions. The Millennium Development Goals (MDG), some funding initiatives and some current and new ways to apply Information and Communication Technology (ICT) are put forward. The paper concludes with a description of a collaborative project between Trinity College Dublin, St. James's hospital Dublin and Mulago hospital, Uganda.
对卫生信息学在全球卫生背景下的作用的初步调查
这篇论文报告了在全球健康背景下对健康信息学的作用的初步调查。世界卫生组织(世卫组织)提供了关于死亡率和疾病负担的统计数据,并根据这些统计数据选择艾滋病毒/艾滋病作为临床调查领域。调查结果突出表明,一些地理区域缺乏卫生服务能力。提出了千年发展目标(MDG)、一些资助倡议以及应用信息通信技术(ICT)的一些当前和新的方法。论文最后描述了都柏林圣三一学院、都柏林圣詹姆斯医院和乌干达穆拉戈医院之间的一个合作项目。
