Case Study - Leading University in the U.S.
Industry: Education & Medical Informatics
A leading university ranked among the Nation's best, public or private will use Virtual Data Manager™ for medical informatics applications. Here is an overview of their specific implementation:
Data Integration is Core to Informatics Deployment
Clinical Informatics brings healthcare services together through the application of informatics and information technology. Clinical informatics focuses on the information use in health care by clinicians. Clinical informatics includes a broad set of areas from clinical decision processes, clinical documentation for various systems such as provider order entry, system implementation and visual images and photographs (radiological, pathological, etc.) used by these systems.
Consumer Health Informatics brings multiple patient views together. These may include consumer education and knowledge as well as patient-centric informatics. Central is the information structures and process that consumers can use to manage their own health.
Public Health Informatics applies informatics to public health areas such as reporting, health promotion and overall surveillance. Public health informatics focuses on groups, rather than individuals and may be very broad in scope.
Bioinformatics (Translational Bioinformatics) brings together the technology, methodology, analytics and storage to manage and transform the volumes of biomedical and genomic data into proactive and participatory health. The focus here is on the development of new approaches to the integration of biological and clinical daata and the information of clinical informatics to include biological observations.
