ICT and Importance of ICT
ICT is a combination of three words;
• Information • Communication • Technology

storage, retrieval, manipulation,  transmission  of information

ICT can be understood only by its uses and applications. ICT;

bridging distances provide more realistic information on life elsewhere provide health information, including on sensitive issues

Levels of ICT and our Interest

We are  working  on this  level
Muhammad Afzal, NUST SEECS 11

Introduction to HL7
• Standard Developing Organization
• ANSI accredited • Non‐for‐profit Volunteer organization • Develop specifications not software HL7 provides standards for interoperability that improve care delivery, optimize workflow, reduce ambiguity and enhance knowledge transfer among all of our stakeholders, including healthcare providers, government agencies, the vendor community, fellow SDOs and patients.
Vision

To create the best and most widely used standards in healthcare.

Some Facts and Figures
Healthcare is a $1.7 trillion dollar industry: highly fragmented and highly competitive. “Every year at least 98,000 Americans die and millions  more are injured as a result of medical errors“.

“Standardized information exchange would save the nation $86.8 Billion each year”

Motivation
Creating awareness and importance of  ICT in Healthcare Sharing views and interests of ICT Experts  with Medical and Healthcare Experts. Highlights the initiatives to promote ICT in  Healthcare.
Muhammad Afzal, NUST SEECS 23

One Scenario
Patient  requests to  order a test. Branch A collects  the test order  (plus specimen if  required). Sends to the  Branch B  through  courier service
.

The desired department  performs the test and  sends the results back to  Mr. Smith.

Mr. Smith at Branch B records the  information and sends the  generated test order to the  reference department.

Mr. Smith feed  results to the  system and  generate the test  result report.

The test results  dictated to the  Branch A via  phone.
Muhammad Afzal, NUST SEECS

Branch A again feed  and generate the  report and hands  over to the patient

Healthcare and ICT
Medical and Healthcare is;

• related to personal life • and no aspect of human life has escaped the impact of the Information  Age • and perhaps in no area of life is information more critical than in health  and medicine.

Today’s Medical Education without ICT means;
• Conventional Medical Education

Today healthcare without ICT means;
• poor patient care
