[Objective prevention of ictus. Data informatics from a mass screening program].

The main technical and functional abilities of the computer supply to the epidemiologic program Obiettivo Prevenzione Ictus are described. The aim of the program is to investigate the epidemiology of carotid occlusive disease in subjects aged 45 to 75 by following a diagnostic and therapeutic protocol, designed to discover and treat internal carotid artery stenosis. The magnitude of the population involved is 23,140 subjects. The data from the population are collected in a three level archive whose configuration makes it possible to obtain information either from within each level and from all of them. Thus, the software adopted provides specific tools for elaboration of epidemiologic data as well as for clinical management of carriers of carotid lesion and for follow-up of treated patients.

Internet for teaching and learning introductory health informatics.

Internet resources seem attractive for teaching and learning. But are they usable and useful in their present form? We explored Internet, in particular its World Wide Web (WWW) resources, in a course on "Medical Methodology" (HINF270) for students of health information science. This course offers a systematic overview of the methodological principles of clinical care. Its broad scope and low depth makes this course a reasonable model to explore the limits of WWW resources. During the course, students wrote summaries of individual lectures. After critiquing and appropriate corrections, the texts were edited with Hypertext Mark-up Language (HTML) and augmented with links to WWW resources. Grading based on the papers, on their improvements through HTML and WWW, and on the provision of information on the search experience were incentives to use WWW. A formal questionnaire, administered on-line on a voluntary basis, concluded the investigation. Results show: 1) Even under considerable pressure to use WWW, libraries remain the reference source of choice for research; 2) Internet provides entertainment appeal even though practical utility is currently limited; 3) Technological proficiency with HTML and search engines is perceived as an asset; 4) Varying availability of Internet resources, uncertain and varying quality of sources, and limited specificity of research results are the major disadvantages of WWW. The teaching implications of these findings are discussed.
