Oertle","doi":"10.4414/smi.29.00292","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4414/smi.29.00292","url":null,"abstract":"Our society has chosen Integrated Care as main topic for the conference. Not only health managers and politicians are talking about integrated care as one of the most important scenarios in healthcare for the very near future. In the last decade, information officers invested most of their time in completing homework within their institutions. Clinical information systems were implemented, processes have been redesigned, clinical decision support has been implemented, and steps toward automatisation and personalisaton have been made. However, many of these efforts never crossed the borders of a hospital or a private practice. In the next decade, building transition of information will be much more in the forefront of our daily work than it is today. So that we can profit most from current experiences, this congress will show some existing pilot systems dealing with information transfer across institutions, cantons or even the country. We should learn as much as we can from pioneering groups and from practice examples, as Switzerland is lagging behind many other countries in terms of eHealth. Hopefully, the boards of directors in Swiss hospitals will recognise the signs of the times, the potential lying in information technologies, and will support the efforts made by information managers. A second important theme of this congress covers the evidence base behind our daily work. Not only do we know many things about how to design and implement information technologies, but we also have to learn from our failures. Contributions by international and national speakers will focus on how to perform – and how not to perform – in our area of interest. Not surprisingly, errors occur most where we don’t tailor our information systems to information needs and work processes, and also where we make too-rigid rules. One area of concern in this context – as shown during the congress – is data protection. The interpretation of our data protection laws, which resemble a pendulum swinging from the paper period when there was no real data protection to a period where data protection finally decides the possibilities in work with information technologies, determines many ICT implementations in these days. And they provoke e-iatrogenesis! In coexistence with the main topic of integrated care, all stakeholders should engage in working together and finding common, consensual solutions for the best of our healthcare systems! I finally wish you two intensive, vivid, interesting and communication-full medical informatics days!","PeriodicalId":156842,"journal":{"name":"Swiss medical informatics","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128073228","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In May of 2012, HON conducted two surveys. The first survey had the objective of identifying current trends of the use of Web 2.0 platforms for health purposes among users and to gain a better understanding of their need for guidelines. The second survey aimed to find out the needs of webmasters regarding the implementation of Web 2.0 guidelines on their websites as well as to receive feedback on these guidelines. This paper presents the main findings of the first survey. The data gathered from a total of 115 respondents, representing men and women as well as all predefined age groups, was analysed. In tota 55% of them reported to checking a Web 2.0 platform dedicated to a health topic at least once on a weekly basis. Forums were the most used (46%) Web 2.0 platform, and the main purposes of using platforms were to get health-related information (42%) and to communicate with peers about health-related issues (34%). In total, 81% agreed that a set of ethical guidelines would be “very helpful” or “helpful” in guiding users of Web 2.0 platforms towards trustworthy health information. However, 37% did not know whether the platform they use applies ethical guidelines or not. The results of this survey have shown that the users have a need to be better informed about the guidelines used on Web 2.0 platforms. The webmasters of health websites play a key role in fulfilling this need, and the HONcode certification is a tool that can be used to assist in this task.","PeriodicalId":156842,"journal":{"name":"Swiss medical informatics","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125934165","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ULAs using an advanced technical prosthesis are more and more numerous. Our aim was to better understand the motor working of ULAs, wearing prosthesis and using MI and VR. Method: A systematic research using Pubmed, Cochrane, ProQuest, Web of Science, CINAHL, and PSYCHINFO was conducted to analyse the consequences of such therapies on myoelectric and cerebral activities, motor performance and subjective data related to movement. Inclusion criteria for articles were: motor control of ULAs practicing MI or VR was investigated. Exclusion criteria were: only healthy subjects were tested or other therapies except MI and VR were practiced. Results: Initial search provided 2,635 articles, in which 10 have been included in the analysis. ULAs and healthy subjects do not have the same neurological way of working when practicing MI or VR. The number of possible controlled movements and their accuracy are different. Some aspects, such as visual content of VR systems, may have an influence. If such therapies are interesting to be used for some ULAs, they have to be used as a supplement, but not as a substitute for classical therapies. Discussion: Supplemental search such as RCTs have to be conducted to provide strong evidences, that MI or VR are appropriate to be used for ULAs rehabilitation. MI and VR procedures have to be defined more clearly. These techniques must absolutely be tested with ULAs.","PeriodicalId":156842,"journal":{"name":"Swiss medical informatics","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130725783","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One issue is the complexity resulting from a highly configurable and scriptable product. Complexity can be kept within reasonable limits by concepts that emphasise enterprise wide standards, and an effectual ICT governance. The rollout strategy had three functional blocks throughout all clinics in three rounds. The rollout strategy proved to be not ideal, but this was inevitable due to the evolving software development process. Requirements engineering turned out to be the key issue. Effective and consistent functionality should be ensured by a formal specification process combined with early and frequent software reviews including the clinical stakeholders.

Ces outils pourraient etre couple au dossier patient informatise et permettre un acces constant et immediats aux informations des patients partout dans l’hopital. Malgre ces promesses, les decideurs restent prudents face a l’introduction de ces outils dans les processus de soins. Leur utilisation ouvre de nombreuses interrogations quand a la qualite des donnees enregistrees a travers ces outils. En se basant sur l’hypothese que la qualite des donnees est influencee par l’interface de saisie, nous avons mis en place une etude pour decouvrir celle qui est la plus appropriees. Les smartphones etant adaptes a la prise de signes vitaux au lit du patient, nous utilisons cette tâche pour comparer les performances de six modeles de saisie. Un programme a ete developpe afin d’accompagner les participants tout au long de l’experience sans intervention exterieur. Durant l’etude, les participants passent tout d’abord par une phase de familiarisation des interfaces de saisies avant de saisir les signes vitaux le plus rapidement possible. A la fin du test, les participants peuvent donner leur avis concernant les differents modeles. Les mesures enregistrees durant l’experience ont permis de decouvrir quelle interface est la plus precise et la mieux acceptee par les utilisateurs. Environ 150 soignants ont participe a l’experience. De facon generale, au vu des resultats obtenus, deux groupes d’interfaces emergent. Le groupe qui contient les interfaces que nous pouvons qualifier de standards et celui contenant les interfaces plus innovantes. Les interfaces standards obtiennent globalement de meilleurs resultats que ce soit au niveau de la precision ou de la vitesse de saisie. Plus precisement, les resultats ont montres que le clavier numerique prend significativement moins de temps pour entrer les mesures. Concernant la precision, le clavier numerique ne domine pas mais occupe les meilleures places. L’evaluation faite par les utilisateurs reflete bien ces resultats etant donne qu’ils ont unanimement elu le clavier numerique comme etant leur modele favori. Les resultats montrent clairement que le clavier numerique est l’interface la plus efficace pour rentrer des mesures numeriques.
