Sharing best practice: developing a Web-based database.

This article reports on the development of a web-based interactive database that was designed to facilitate the dissemination of practice development, research and audit projects across a large NHS trust. A multidisciplinary team worked collaboratively to design the database in order to ensure that it incorporated features which made it easy for the end user. Concise structured information on each project was recorded and search facilities incorporated to facilitate access to information. Hyperlinks to other web pages on the Internet and the Trust intranet were created and full reports/publications of projects were included for those who wanted more information. The subsequent implementation across the organization involved promoting the database, helping practitioners develop skills to access information, setting up quality review procedures for projects and evaluating its use. The development of the database has highlighted that time, the availability of computers in clinical areas and skills development are important considerations when taking forward information technology (IT) initiatives.

Journal searching in non-MEDLINE resources on Internet Web sites.

Internet access to the medical journal literature is absorbing the attention of all relevant parties, i.e., publishers, journal vendors, librarians, commercial providers, government agencies, and end users. Journal content on the Web sites spans the range from advertising and ordering information for the print version, to table of contents and abstracts, to downloadable full text and graphics of articles. The searching parameters for systems other than MEDLINE also differ extensively with a wide variety of features and resulting retrieval. This discussion reviews a selection of providers of medical information (particularly the journal literature) on the Internet, making a comparison of what is available on Web sites and how it can be searched.

A metastrategy for World-Wide Web information retrieval in clinical medicine.

The metastrategy for World-Wide Web information retrieval was presented as an integrated approach to end-user searching in clinical medicine, although its application may be made to any search for WWW information. Certain distinctions, such as between anticipated and unanticipated clinical information needs and between WWW catalogs for retrieving Web sites and WWW databases for retrieving Web pages, were made. These distinctions are important in the end-user strategy because they help maximize the productivity of the WWW for clinicians.

Addressing the health information needs of rural Missouri health care providers: an IAIMS assistant experience.

A one-year internship at the University of Missouri-Columbia offered an opportunity for a health sciences librarian to contribute to Integrated Advanced Information Management Systems (IAIMS) activities and take information management ideas back home. The IAIMS Assistant addressed information access issues. The Assistant helped to develop and administer a "Rural Provider Questionnaire" to assess the information needs of rural Missouri health care providers. The Health Sciences Library developed a Web page to bring together services and information resources in response to the perceived needs of health care providers associated with the Health Sciences Center. The article discusses the librarians' role in IAIMS initiatives.

Health information resources: tradition and innovation in a medical school curriculum.

Changes in LCME accreditation for medical colleges fostered the development of Health Information Resources, a required, for-credit course created by the Saint Louis University Health Sciences Center Library Reference Department for the first-year medical school curriculum. Six content areas were developed for inclusion in the syllabus: "Electronic Resources Survival Kit"; "Introduction to Problem Based Resources"; "Introduction to Literature Searching"; "MEDLINE Searching Hands-On/Publishing Pearls & Pitfalls"; "The World Wide Web and Patient Information"; and "Introduction to Electronic Mail." A combination of lectures, hands-on instruction, and active learning techniques were employed in the teaching of this class. Submission of a Health Information Resource Guide and a two-part final exam were required.

Consumer Health Informatics--integrating patients, providers, and professionals online.

Consumer Health Informatics (CHI) means different things to patients, health professionals, and health care systems. A broader perspective on this new and rapidly developing field will enable us to understand and better apply its advances. This article provides an overview of CHI discussing its evolution and driving forces, along with advanced applications such as Personal Health Records, Internet transmission of personal health data, clinical e-mail, online pharmacies, and shared decision-making tools. Consumer Health Informatics will become integrated with medical care, electronic medical records, and patient education to impact the whole process and business of health care.

Managed care, medical privacy, and the paradigm of consent.

The market success of managed health plans in the 1990s is bringing to medicine the easy availability of electronically stored information that is characteristic of the securities and consumer credit industries. Protection for medical confidentiality, however, has not kept pace with this information revolution. Employers, the managed care industry, and legal and ethics commentators frequently look to the concept of informed consent to justify particular uses of health information, but the elastic use of informed consent as a way of responding to managed care health plans' disclosure of information to third parties fails to address underlying questions involving substantive value choices.

Personal privacy in the health care system: employer-sponsored insurance, managed care, and integrated delivery systems.

Widespread collection and use of identifiable information can promote social goods while, at the same time, infringing on personal privacy. Information systems are developing within the context of a fundamental transformation in the organization, delivery, and financing of health care. Changes in the health care system include rapid development of employer-sponsored health coverage, managed care organizations, and integrated delivery systems. These complex, multifaceted arrangements for delivering and paying for health care require ever-more-sophisticated information systems that facilitate extensive sharing of personal data. Systemic flows of sensitive health information occur both vertically and horizontally among employers, hospitals, insurers, laboratories, and suppliers. Beyond this complex web of vertical and horizontal sharing are the multiple demands for information management, quality assurance, research, governmental regulation, and public health. Theoretical problems exist with the law and ethics of informational privacy. The traditional method of exercising control over personal health information is through informed consent. Informed consent, however, within a modern health information infrastructure becomes highly complex. In this kind of environment, the doctrine of informed consent is flawed and does not provide sufficient control over personal information to assure adequate protection of privacy.

Secure three-dimensional data transmission and display.

An optical three-dimensional (3D) display system interfaced with digital data transmission is proposed. In this system, an original 3D object is encrypted by use of a random phase mask and then the encrypted pattern is recorded as a digital hologram. The digital hologram key is also recorded for optical decryption. Both the encrypted digital hologram and the digital hologram key are transmitted to a receiver through a conventional communication data channel. At the receiver, the 3D scene is reconstructed and displayed optically in a retrieval system based on a joint-transform correlation. Experimental results are presented. We investigate the influence of quantization of the joint power spectrum in the optical correlator on the quality of the reconstructed image.

Computer use by dentists and dental team members.

Since 1984, the ADA Survey Center has collected data on the use of computers in dental offices. This article presents some of these data, which indicate that the computerized dental practice has become an industry standard.
