HEALTH APPLICATIONS FOR THE NATIONAL INFORMATION INFRAS

承包商应规划并进行以下影响的评估 国家医疗保健、研究或医疗信息基础设施 公共卫生。在适用的范围内，承包商应评估 保护个人健康数据隐私的方法，同时还 为合法的医疗保健、研究和服务提供有效途径 公共卫生目的。承包商还应评估以下项目的效用 新兴的健康数据标准在先进的健康应用中的应用 通信和计算技术。 华盛顿大学采取的这一具体方法名为 从长凳到床边甚至更远：构建和测试一个集成的 太平洋西北地区医疗信息网。它将 创建华盛顿大学学术医学中心(UWAMC) 区域卫生信息基础设施，并评估其对 医疗保健和公共卫生的可获得性、质量和成本 机构墙。该项目将整合和应用现有的和 提供更好的访问、易用性和成本的新兴技术- 有效提供优质医疗服务。该项目将把 UWAMC朝着提供健康相关信息的愿景迈进 时间和地点的资源、决策支持工具和数据 该地区的医疗保健服务提供者的需求。 该项目的远程诊断和电话会议部分将 使远程提供者能够互相“看望”病人，实现 临床医生在整个地区的临床站点进行更好的沟通， 协作并访问密歇根大学健康科学图书馆和 信息中心的资源和服务。我们的地区健康 信息网络还将为提供商提供适当访问 保护来自多个来源的患者相关数据；促进共享 适当的数据；并尝试提供保密的电子 提供者之间以及提供者与其患者之间的邮件链接。

The contractor shall plan and carry out an evaluation of the impact of the National Information Infrastructure on health care, research, or public health. To the extent applicable, the contractor shall evaluate methods to preserve the privacy of individual health data while also providing efficient access for legitimate health care, research and public health purposes. The contractor shall also assess the utility of emerging health data standards in health applications of advanced communications and computing technologies. This specific approach taken by the University of Washington is entitled "From Bench to Bedside and Beyond: Building and Testing an Integrated Regional Medical Information Network for the Pacific Northwest." It will create a University of Washington Academic Medical Center (UWAMC) regional health information infrastructure and evaluate its impact on access, quality and cost of health care and public health beyond its institutional walls. This project will integrate and apply current and emerging technologies to provide greater access, ease of use, and cost- effective delivery of quality health care. The project will move the UWAMC toward the vision of providing health-related information resources and decision support tools and data at the time and place of need by health cam providers across the region. The telediagnosis and teleconferencing elements of the project will allow distant providers to "see" patients and each other, enable clinicians at clinical sites across the region to better communicate, collaborate, and gain access to UW Health Sciences Libraries and Information Center resources and services. Our regional health information network will also offer appropriate provider access to secure patient-related data from multiple sources; facilitate sharing of appropriate data; and experiment with providing confidential electronic mail links between providers, and between providers and their patients.
