What is Healthcare Informatics?
“the effective uses of…data, information, and knowledge for scientific inquiry, problem solving and decision making, motivated by efforts to improve human health.” –Kulikowsi, et al1
Friedman’s HCI Definitions2
HCI is the Application of Knowledge, Data, and Information
Informatics
Knowledge
InformationData
Improve Health Care Quality• Reduce Errors• Improve Communication
Improved Health Care Cost• Reduce Estimated $750 billion in Waste Annually3
• Improve Efficiency & Accuracy
Improved Health Care Access4
• Telemedicine/Telehealth• Remote Patient Monitoring
HCI Goals
“a project is a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product, service or result.”- Project Manager’s Body of Knowledge (PMBOK)5
What is a Project?
Inherently Temporary
Created to Achieve a Unique Goal
Focused on a Specific Outcome, Deliverable, or Capability
Require Schedule, Resources, and Scope
How I Will Use HCI as a Project Manager
“project management is the application of knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to project activities to meet the project requirements.”- PMBOK5
PM Process Overview:
1. Identify Requirements
2. Address Needs, Concerns & Expectations
3. Balance Competing Project Constraints:• Scope, Quality, Schedule, Budget, Resources,
and Risk

“Cross-training also enables communications…making it possible for the cross-trained person to promote important modes of collaboration.” – Friedman2
• Improve communication between stakeholders.
• Facilitate greater collaboration in product design.
• Leverage professional perspective of end user.
• Utilize basic literacy in medical literature in relentless quest for improvement.
HCI Training Enables Communication
• Perform sophisticated problem analysis in light of data, information and knowledge.
• Participate in designing scalable solutions with knowledge of HIS.
• Leverage knowledge of human-technology interactions in QA process design and testing.
• Apply understanding of clinical workflows for improved product and outcomes.
• Incorporate impact assessment into project planning
