Abstract

A database application has been developed for phenotype data management employing the Entity-Attribute-Value (EAV) model. By applying the EAV model, this application allows users to manage arbitrary phenotypes and customize data entry forms; therefore, it is suitable for different and multi-center projects.

The Toxic Exposure Surveillance System (TESS): risk assessment and real-time toxicovigilance across United States poison centers.

The Toxic Exposure Surveillance System (TESS) is a uniform data set of US poison centers cases. Categories of information include the patient, the caller, the exposure, the substance(s), clinical toxicity, treatment, and medical outcome. The TESS database was initiated in 1985, and provides a baseline of more than 36.2 million cases through 2003. The database has been utilized for a number of safety evaluations. Consideration of the strengths and limitations of TESS data must be incorporated into data interpretation. Real-time toxicovigilance was initiated in 2003 with continuous uploading of new cases from all poison centers to a central database. Real-time toxicovigilance utilizing general and specific approaches is systematically run against TESS, further increasing the potential utility of poison center experiences as a means of early identification of potential public health threats.

osni.info-Using free/libre/open source software to build a virtual international community for open source nursing informatics.

Many health informatics organizations seem to be slow to take up the advantages of dynamic, web-based technologies for providing services to, and interaction with, their members; these are often the very technologies they promote for use within healthcare environments. This paper aims to introduce some of the many free/libre/open source (FLOSS) applications that are now available to develop interactive websites and dynamic online communities as part of the structure of health informatics organizations, and to show how the Open Source Nursing Informatics Working Group (OSNI) of the special interest group in nursing informatics of the International Medical Informatics Association (IMIA-NI) is using some of these tools to develop an online community of nurse informaticians through their website, at . Some background introduction to FLOSS applications is used for the benefit of those less familiar with such tools, and examples of some of the FLOSS content management systems (CMS) being used by OSNI are described. The experiences of the OSNI will facilitate a knowledgeable nursing contribution to the wider discussions on the applications of FLOSS within health and healthcare, and provides a model that many other groups could adopt.

It's one step toward quality. Many hurdles remain to establishing new patient-safety groups, which will use confidential provider data on medical errors.

The new Patient Safety and Quality Improvement Act, passed late last month, would provide incentives for healthcare providers to report medical errors. While the idea behind the new bill is universally popular--to reduce errors and increase quality of care--some members of the industry, such as physician Steve McDermott, left, say that implementing a national reporting system will be harder than it sounds.
