Chapter 3

This document discusses concepts related to eHealth, clinical intelligence, telehealth, mHealth, and cloud computing. It defines eHealth as the use of information and communication technologies for health, including treating patients, conducting research, educating health workers, and tracking disease. Clinical intelligence is defined as electronically aggregating accurate and timely clinical data into meaningful information to achieve optimal health outcomes. Telehealth involves providing personalized healthcare over a distance using clinical data, electronic transfer of information, and tailored feedback from healthcare professionals. MHealth refers to using mobile devices to improve health outcomes, services, and research. Cloud computing provides on-demand access to configurable computing resources over a network with features like self-service, broad network access, resource pooling and

CHAPTER III

 The eHealth Agenda


CONCEPTS of Health Information
As defined by the Health Information and Quality
Authority (HIQA) in Ireland
 ACCURATE DATA – refers to how closely the data
correctly captures what it was designed to capture
 COMPLETE DATA – has all those items required to
measure the intended activity or event
 LEGIBLE DATA – is data that the intended users will
find easy to read and understand.
 RELEVANT DATA – is collected consistently over
time and collects the true facts
 TIMELY DATA – is collected within a reasonable
agreed time period after the activity that it
measures and is available when it is required and
as often as it is required.
 VALID DATA – is collected in accordance with any
rules or definitions applicable for that type of
information. These rules check for correctness and
meaningfulness before the data is used.

CLINICAL INTELLIGENCE
 defined as the “electronic aggregation of accurate,
relevant and timely clinical data into meaningful eHEALTH Definition
information and actionable knowledge in order to
achieve optimal structures, processes and
outcomes.”
 (Harrington, 2011) CI is the same type of
transformational process, with the focus on using
clinical data to inform decisions.

 is the use of information and communication


technologies (ICT) for health. (WHO,2012)
Examples:
 Treating patients
 Conducting research
 Educating the health workforce
 Tracking disease and monitoring public
health

eHealth Definition
TELEHEALTH
 Provision of personalized healthcare over a
distance
 3 COMPONENTS:
 Patient provides data such as video or clinical
data in relation to their illness.
 Information is transferred electronically to a
second location to a healthcare professional
 Uses their clinical skills and judgment to
provide personalized tailored feedback to the
individual.
Mhealth
 Mobile Health refers to mobile technology
 Use of mobile and wireless devices to improve
health outcomes, healthcare services and health
research. (National Institute of Health)
Cloud Computing
 A model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-
demand network access to a shared pool of
configurable computing resources (e.g., networks,
servers, storage, applications, and services) that
can be rapidly provisioned and released with
minimal management effort or service provider
interaction. (National Institute of Standards and
Technology)
 Cloud computing is often described as an umbrella
term that refers to a category of sophisticated on-
demand computing services.

Cloud Computing CHARACTERISTICS


 ON DEMAND SELF SERVICE – a consumer can
provide computing capabilities for example
network storage as required automatically without
needing human interaction with each service
providers
 BROAD NETWORK ACCESS-capabilities are
available over the network and accessed through
standard mechanisms – cps, laptops, pda
 RESOURCE POOLING – providers computing
resources are pooled to serve multiple consumers
using a multi-tenant model there is a sense of
location independence in that the customer has no
control or knowledge over the exact location of the
provided resources
 RAPID ELASTICITY – capabilities can be rapidly and
elastically provisioned to quickly scale from a
consumer perspective the capabilities available for
provision often appear unlimited
 MEASURE SERVICE - resource of cloud systems can
be monitored, controlled and reported upon
providing transparency for both the provider and
the consumer.
