A glossary of Biomedical and Hospital Informatics serves as a valuable resource that provides a comprehensive collection of key terms, acronyms, and definitions specific to the field.
Term Definition Electronic Health Record (EHR) A digital version of a patient's medical history that includes relevant clinical information, such as diagnoses, medications, lab results, and treatment plans. It facilitates the secure exchange of health information among healthcare providers. Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) A computer-based system that provides healthcare professionals with evidence-based recommendations, alerts, and reminders to assist in clinical decision-making and improve patient care. Health Information Exchange (HIE) The electronic sharing of health-related information among different healthcare organizations, allowing for seamless access to patient data across care settings, promoting care coordination, and improving patient outcomes. Genomics The study of an organism's complete set of DNA, including genes and their functions, with a focus on understanding genetic variations and their impact on health, disease risk, and personalized medicine. Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) A system that enables the acquisition, storage, retrieval, and distribution of medical images such as X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans. It provides healthcare professionals with convenient access to patient imaging records. Health Information Technology (HIT) The use of technology, systems, and applications to manage health-related information efficiently, including electronic health records, health information exchange, telemedicine, and other digital healthcare solutions. Interoperability The ability of different healthcare information systems and devices to exchange, interpret, and use data seamlessly. It ensures that various systems can communicate and share data accurately and securely to support coordinated patient care. Bioinformatics The application of computational methods and tools to collect, store, analyze, and interpret biological data, including genomics, proteomics, and other large-scale datasets. It aids in biological research, drug discovery, and personalized medicine. Health Informatics Standards Established guidelines and specifications that define the format, structure, and content of healthcare data to enable efficient and secure exchange, interoperability, and consistency across different health IT systems and organizations. Telemedicine The remote delivery of healthcare services, diagnosis, consultation, and treatment using telecommunications technologies. It enables access to medical care for patients in remote areas and facilitates virtual healthcare visits. -
