Healthcare (Reality)
10
• Life-or-Death• Difficult to automate human decisions
– Nature of business– Many & varied stakeholders– Evolving standards of care
• Fragmented, poorly-coordinated systems• Large, ever-growing & changing body of
knowledge• High volume, low resources, little time
Why Healthcare Isn’t Like Any Others
11
Back to something simple...
12
To treat & to care for their patients to their best abilities, given limited time & resources

Landmark IOM Reports
21
• To Err is Human (IOM, 2000) reported that: – 44,000 to 98,000 people die in U.S.
hospitals each year as a result of preventable medical mistakes
– Mistakes cost U.S. hospitals $17 billion to $29 billion yearly
– Individual errors are not the main problem– Faulty systems, processes, and other
conditions lead to preventable errorsHealth IT Workforce Curriculum Version 3.0/Spring 2012 Introduction to Healthcare and Public Health in the US: Regulating Healthcare - Lecture d
Patient Safety
22
• Humans are not perfect and are bound to make errors
• Highlight problems in U.S. health care system that systematically contributes to medical errors and poor quality
• Recommends reform• Health IT plays a role in improving patient
safety

To Err is Human 3: Cognition
26
• It already happens....(Mamede et al., 2010; Croskerry, 2003; Klein, 2005; Croskerry, 2013)
What If This Happens in Healthcare?
27
Mamede S, van Gog T, van den Berge K, Rikers RM, van Saase JL, van Guldener C, Schmidt HG. Effect of availability bias and reflective reasoning on diagnostic accuracy
among internal medicine residents. JAMA. 2010 Sep 15;304(11):1198-203.

Cognitive Biases in Healthcare
29Klein JG. Five pitfalls in decisions about diagnosis and prescribing. BMJ. 2005 Apr
2;330(7494):781-3.
“Everyone makes mistakes. But our reliance on cognitive processes prone to bias makes treatment errors more likely
than we think”
Cognitive Biases in Healthcare
30
• Medication Errors– Drug Allergies– Drug Interactions
• Ineffective or inappropriate treatment• Redundant orders• Failure to follow clinical practice guidelines
Common Errors
31
Why We Need ICT in Healthcare?
#1: Because information is everywhere in healthcare
32
Why We Need ICT in Healthcare?
#2: Because healthcare is error-prone and technology
can help
33
Why We Need ICT in Healthcare?
#3: Because access to high-quality patient
information improves care
34
Why We Need ICT in Healthcare?
#4: Because healthcare at all levels is fragmented &
in need of process improvement

Personal Health Records (PHRs) and Patient Portals
Still Many Other Forms of Health IT
43
• Guideline adherence• Better documentation• Practitioner decision making or
process of care• Medication safety• Patient surveillance & monitoring• Patient education/reminder
Documented Values of Health IT
44
• Master Patient Index (MPI)• Admit-Discharge-Transfer (ADT)• Electronic Health Records (EHRs)• Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE)• Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDS)• Picture Archiving and Communication System
(PACS)• Nursing applications• Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
Some Hospital IT - Enterprise-wide
45
• Pharmacy applications
• Laboratory Information System (LIS)
• Radiology Information System (RIS)
• Specialized applications (ER, OR, LR, Anesthesia, Critical Care, Dietary Services, Blood Bank)
• Incident management & reporting system
Some Hospital IT - Departmental Systems

47
Computerized Provider Order Entry (CPOE)
48
Values
• No handwriting!!!• Structured data entry: Completeness, clarity,
fewer mistakes (?)• No transcription errors!• Streamlines workflow, increases efficiency
Computerized Provider Order Entry (CPOE)
49
• The real place where most of the values of health IT can be achieved
– Expert systems• Based on artificial intelligence,
machine learning, rules, or statistics
• Examples: differential diagnoses, treatment options
(Shortliffe, 1976)
Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDS)
50
– Alerts & reminders• Based on specified logical conditions• Examples:
– Drug-allergy checks– Drug-drug interaction checks– Reminders for preventive services– Clinical practice guideline integration
Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDS)
51

URGES Member States:(1) to consider, as appropriate, options to collaborate with
relevant stakeholders, including national authorities, relevant ministries, health care providers, and academic institutions, in order to draw up a road map for implementation of ehealth and health data standards at national and subnational levels;
(2) to consider developing, as appropriate, policies and legislative mechanisms linked to an overall national eHealth strategy, in order to ensure compliance in the adoption of ehealth and health data standards by the public and private sectors, as appropriate, and the donor community, as well as to ensure the privacy of personal clinical data;
