Kofi Annan, speaking at theWorld Summit on the Information

Society “A technological

revolution is transforming society in a profound way. If harnessed and directed properly information and communication technologies(ICT) have the potential to improve all aspects of our social, economic and cultural life.”

Information and Informatics

Information Technology is the use of hardware, software, services, and supporting infrastructure to manage information. Deliver.

Informatics is the scientific field that deals with biomedical information, data and knowledge -their storage, retrieval and optimal use for problem-solving and decision-making.

Innovative Use of Learning Technologies

• An IT-enabled educational environment

• Balance innovation and current successful practice

• Inquiry-based education

The key developments in

health care in last 25

years is the incursion of

information and

communications

technologies (Heath,

Luff,& Svensson, 2003).

ICT have changed the

ways in which medicine

is practiced and taught.

ICT CHANGING THE FUTURE OF HEALTH

• The largest network of networks in the world.

• Uses TCP/IP protocols and packet switching.

• Runs on any communications substrate.

INTERNET CHANGING THE FUTURE

WHAT IS THE INTERNET?

The creation of the Internet solved the following challenges:

Basically inventing digital networking as we know it.

Survivability of an infrastructure to send / receive high-speed electronic messages.

Reliability of computer messaging.

THE CREATION OF THE INTERNET

Internet Strategy• The Web is our major point of contact with the World

• Internet strategy should support our strategic plan

• IRT Web design task force report

• The School needs a new Web site with:

• Better navigational model

• More consistent “branding” across the School

• Tighter coordination with Hospital Web sites

• Separation of public and private Web services

Information takes over many human activities

In the 21st Century,

information is at the

very core of many

human activities and

to be a significant

player in the

information society of

today, will depend on

the speed at which

information can be

accessed and shared

cost-effectively.

Information and

Communication Technology or

ICTs allow users to participate

in a rapidly changing world in

which work and other activities

are increasingly transformed by

access to varied and developing

technologies.

INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY RAPIDLY CHANGING THE

WORLD

ICT IS A HIGH TECHNOLOGY ORIENTED

With an increasing

prevalence of

computers in and out

of the classroom and

the development of

more sophisticated

web-based tools,

knowledge transfer

is increasing going

high-tech.

• Given the vast amount of resources

available on the Internet, the concept of

information literacy has received much

attention, particularly in the medical

field. Information literacy is defined as

knowledge and mastery of a variety of

technical tools that facilitate access to

information (websites, databases, etc.) in

order to find solutions to problems that

arise (Spitzer, Eisenberg, & Lowe, 1998)

Communication tools guide learning

CT tools can be used to

find, explore, analyze,

exchange and present

information responsibly

and without

discrimination. ICT can

be employed to give users

quick access to ideas and

experiences from a wide

range of people,

communities and

cultures.

The growth and development of information and communication technologies (ICTs) has led to their wide diffusion and application, thus increasing their economic and social impact.

Web-based support/diagnosis

E-medicine Medical equipment is becoming

increasingly more sophisticated principally as a result of advances in ICTs. However, while these systems offer powerful tools for diagnosis; they require certain economies of scale for their effective usage. Tele-radiology offers an effective means for achieving this by giving wider access todiagnostic equipment.

E-learning adds many dimensions to the

educational process and if utilized well, has

the potential to enhance both the students

and instructors educational experience.

One benefit of e-learning allows students to

access the lectures and other material when

they are most attentive. In addition,

students have the ability to review the

material to the degree they feel necessary.

Information literacy

should be

considered a

mandatory skill in

the training of all

physicians.

E-learning, although

not yet very

widespread in

medical faculties,

represents the future

of initial and

continuous medical

training.

Ubiquitous Access to Information

The future of computing

rests on a wireless “always

on” network connection.

Wireless networking is

progressing rapidly.

Mobile computing devices

are becoming smaller,

cheaper, more powerful and

better integrated.

Biomedical workers are often

nomadic.

Major transforming potential

in the clinical, research and

educational environments.

CREATES TOOLS FOR EDUCATION AND RESEARCH

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY HAS LEGAL AND

ETHICAL CONCERNS ??? These developments

offer significant

benefits to patients

and healthcare

providers, but they

give rise to ethical

and legal challenges

in the protection of

patient privacy and

confidentiality.

Information technology limits the Patient Doctor Relationship

The traditional and

humanistic concept of

doctor-patient

relationship is also

under threat as IT is

used to bypass the

need for personal

consultations.

Harms of Information technology in Medicine

One of the potential harms caused by

indiscriminate use of IT is information

overload and worse, misinformation.

Both can paralyse and impair the

patients’ decision-making capacity. The

flood of readily accessible but

unverified and unregulated information

on the world-wide-web is a cause for

concern.

The debate on the safe and appropriate use of

IT in medicine will continue to evolve as the

capabilities of the technology are progressively

being updated at a hurried pace. Only by

returning to the fundamental precepts of

medical ethics can we continue to meet new

challenges posed by new inventions in order to

preserve the ideals and aspirations of the

profession, and society at large.

Information technology should not deprive the Human touch

However Information Technology United the

World
