Critical Issues in the Development and Implementation of a Health Record Banking System (Unabridged)
Video archive
Jonathan Gold, MD
Informatics fellow
Essential attributes of the National Health Information Network include a decentralized architecture using the internet and defined standards for recording data, a joint public-private effort, a patient-centric focus protecting personal health information privacy, deployment incentives, and employment of existing technologies/federal leadership/regional prototype efforts. Additional challenges include accurate patient identification and record-matching, and discordant inter-/intra-state laws.
Modeled on commercial banking, which already addresses many fundamental elements and difficulties facing NHIN, a proposed Health Record Banking System would serve the needs for immediately accessible/secure data for diverse stakeholders. Consumer-centric personal health records, containing all health data from multiple sources and controlled by consumers, would be stored in personal health record accounts using a standard format for receiving and distributing data over the web. Providers, healthcare organizations and commercial enterprises, too, would maintain accounts in health information repositories. The HRB would in turn lease owner-authorized de-identified data for research and data mining. Lease of de-identified data from the record would, in part, make this system economically sustainable, return a dividend to the datas owner, and facilitate standardization of information.
A survey of 42 domain expert/thought leaders reviewing the model addressed 9 critical issues associated with HRB development and implementation. The results will be summarized.

"Computer-Integrated Surgery: Coupling Information to Action in the 21'st Century"
Russ Taylor, PhD
Department of Computer Science
The impact of Computer-Integrated Surgery (CIS) on medicine in the next 20 years will be as great as that of Computer-Integrated Manufacturing on industrial production over the past 20 years. A novel partnership between human surgeons and machines, made possible by advances in computing and engineering technology, will overcome many of the limitations of traditional surgery. By extending human surgeons ability to plan and carry out surgical interventions more accurately and less invasively, CIS systems will address a vital national need to greatly reduce costs, improve clinical outcomes, and improve the efficiency of health care delivery. As CIS systems evolve, we expect to see the emergence of two dominant and complementary paradigms: Surgical cad/cam systems will integrate accurate patient-specific models, surgical plan optimization, and a variety of execution environments permitting the plans to be carried out accurately, safely, and with minimal invasiveness. Surgical Assistant systems will work cooperatively with human surgeons in carrying out precise and minimally invasive surgical procedures.
The evolution of these systems will be synergistic with the development of patient-specific surgical simulation for planning as well as for training and surgical augmentation systems transcending human sensory-motor limitations in the performance of surgical tasks. This presentation will use current research at Johns Hopkins University and elsewhere to illustrate these themes and will outline current barriers and opportunities for future developments.

University of Maryland
Also joining us from University of Maryland:
Eliot Siegal, Paul Nagy, Nabile Safdar, Bill Boonn and Peter Vandermeer
We will illustrate the value of the visual discrimination model (VDM) by summarizing the results of several completed and ongoing research projects in which we have used the model to predict image quality. Some of the projects to be summarized in the presentation include: comparison of the ability of just noticeable difference (JND) with peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) to predict observer performance, comparison of JPEG discrete cosine transform (DCT) compression with JPEG 2000 compression; evaluation of 2D and 3D JPEG 2000 compression, the impact of various slice thicknesses and reconstruction kernel on compression for MDCT, estimation of best acquisition parameters for MDCT by optimizing image quality with the VDM, and an idealized comparison of the theoretical differences between 8- and 11-bit monochrome LCDs as perceived by the human visual system.

21st Century Neuro-Otology: Towards Automated Triage of the Emergency Department Dizzy Patient
David Newman-Toker, MD
Assistant Professor, Neurology
Despite major advances in our understanding of vestibular science over the past 30 years, dizziness remains one of the most vexing chief complaints faced by physicians. While most patients with dizziness have benign cardiovascular or vestibular pathology, up to 25% of patients over age 50 in the Emergency Department with new, isolated vertigo (with NO other neurologic symptoms or signs) may have cerebellar stroke as a cause. Thus, an unselected E.D. dizzy patient presents the classic needle-in-a-haystack problem, a problem made even more obscure by the vague and inconsistent terminology used by patients and physicians alike to describe various sensations of dizziness.
Many front-line providers have quietly come to realize that the standard approach of segregating patients into those with vertigo, presyncope, disequilibrium, and other vague lightheadedness fails to adequately identify those patients at greatest (or least) risk of harboring dangerous underlying disease. In todays lecture, we will discuss triage and diagnosis of the E.D. dizzy patient, including the prevailing wisdom, its shortcomings, the science of a new approach, our preliminary results, and our vision for the future of automated E.D. triage.

"A New Look at IT Standards: Connecting Consumers to the Right
Information
at the Right Time"
Joshua Seidman, PhD,
Executive Director of the Center for Information Therapy
www.healthwise.org
Over the next several years, consumers are expected to play a greater
role
in their medical care, in part by accessing and engaging with the
information stored in software applications such as a PHR. Information
stored in medically-related software, however, is often not
understandable
or usable to consumers because the structure, content, and terminology of
the information have been designed to meet the need of clinicians, not
consumers. Over time, this lack of structured consumer-based health
information will limit consumers' ability to access the information they
need, when they need it, and in a way that they can understand and use
it.

In this talk, I shall describe the technological issues, costs, and general
trauma associated with fielding a scalable cluster-based computing and
storage facility in the Bloomberg School of Public Health. The joint
computing facility is in the department of Biostatistics and consists
primarily of a computing engine and a global file system. It supports the
heterogeneous needs of students and faculty performing biostatistical,
epidemiological and genomic research in the departments of Biostatistics,
Epidemiology, and Molecular Microbiology and Immunology.
The evolution and commoditization of 64-bit server hardware, coupled with
rapidly maturing open-source distributed-computing system software such as,
linux-clusters, grid computing and global file systems, is changing the
economics of high-performance computing and may presage the return of
centralized computing, albeit, clothed in the skin of the desktop computer.

"Collaborative Health Sentinel"
James Kaufman, PhD
IBM Almaden Research Center
Computer Science
In this seminar we describe the Collaborative Health Sentinel System (CHS), a possible framework for a national early detection system for infectious disease and bioterrorism. The system would leverage our existing health surveillance programs and focus on early detection. Detection is accomplished by gathering easily observable symptoms through a system of self reporting without the participation of medical professionals. As such, it does not add new burdens to overload healthcare workers. The real time data available through CHS is provided as a health map, analogous to a weather map. Data form the health map serves as input to and initial conditions for a forecasting system that integrate the health map with modeling tools, data mining tools and pattern recognition technologies. These tools may eventually allow users to go beyond observation to health forecast. We will discuss in detail, and demonstrate, an implementation of a spatiotemporal epidemiological modeling tool and framework that allows scientist to easily define and evaluate new algorithms to study infectious disease. The CHS health map would serve as a resource for agencies and medical professionals charged with reacting to and containing potential epidemics to save lives. When a new pattern of infection does occur, CHS provides communication and feedback to existing centers based on current standards and messaging protocols. Such information is useful both in diagnosing disease causation, finding points of origin, and in planning contamination and immunization strategies.

"Update on ADINA, the Architecture for Distributed INformation Access system"
David Silberberg, PhD
Applied Physics Laboratory
Clinicians optimally should get information from all the multiple places where a patient's information is stored. Medical researchers often need information from a variety of separate, but related, databases to better form a complete profile of their research domain. In both cases, it is common for the information to be located in heterogeneous databases that are geographically distributed. It is a complex task to locate the appropriate databases, to learn their terms and structures, to form queries to them, and to integrate their results into a common picture. Without special technologies, these tasks requires too much time and database expertise.
ADINA is an agent-based system that accelerates the task of integrating heterogeneous databases and insulates users from their complexities. It uses ontology and knowledge based techniques to assist in database integration. In addition, it uses heuristics to automatically formulate queries to heterogeneous databases from simple requests and to integrate the results. ADINA has been prototyped in both bioinformatics and military domains, and has successfully demonstrated rapid database integration and simplified query access.

Paul B
With Introduction by Steven Beales, Chief Software Engineer, MDLogix.
"The MDLogix VisuaLyzer: Model-Driven software to combine, view, and
analyze network models"
Networks appear in public health as ontologies, models of disease
transmission, diffusion of innovations, determination of opinion leaders,
support networks, and networks of knowledge, communication, and trust.
Social and knowledge networks are important to health informatics because
they help model, manage, and extract relevant information about complex
relationships. This talk will demonstrate the MDLogix VisuaLyzer and how it
can help with these tasks. In particular, dependencies and attributes can
be interactively defined, combined and displayed; social network measures
such as centrality and connectivity can be calculated; and network
transforms, as equational constraints, can discover missing information in
deterministic networks such as contagious, incurable disease transmissions
and diffusion of innovations.
Emmanuel Koku, PhD. Candidate is Research and Development Scientist at
Medical Decision Logic, Inc. As a Sociologist, Emmanuel Koku has attained
doctoral level training in social network analyses and specializes in
application of social network techniques to a number of substantive issues,
such as STD transmission. Within the last 10 years, he has worked as a
Research Associate at the University of Toronto where he was a
co-investigator for a number of federally-funded projects on
computer-mediated communication and social networks. Between 2001 and 2003
he was a Sexual Health Research Consultant for Toronto Department of Public
Health responsible for investigating patterns of STD transmission and
development of interventions among high risk populations.
Gagik Baghdasaryan joined Medical Decision Logic in January, 2002. He holds
a Ph.D. in Computer Science from University of Moscow, and MS in Radio
Techniques and Informatics from Yerevan Polytechnic Institute. He has
experience over the past 15+ years in software application design and
development, data visualization and multimedia, computational linguistics,
voice recognition, database development and network operations. Prior to
work at MDLogix Gagik was a software developer at AnswerChase? Inc.
(Annapolis, MD) developing core NLP technology for company software
products. He is also an author of Speech Recognition and Speaker
Identification software for Grover Industries, Inc. (Minneapolis, MN).
Paul H. Broome, Ph.D. began his medical informatics career in 1975 with the
first computer system for the MIEMS (Shock Trauma Unit). Besides an
unfaltering interest in medicine, his other passions are network models of
knowledge, computer networks, and social networks. These interests began
with graph theory at the University of Michigan and continued to algebraic
logic at the University of Delaware, University of Kent at Canterbury, Army

"Problem-Driven Order Entry: a novel approach to integrated CPOE and clinical documentation"
Adam Rothschild, MD
HSI Fellow
"Problem-Driven Order Entry: a novel approach to integrated CPOE and
clinical documentation"
Problem-driven Order Entry (PDOE) is a novel approach to CPOE that
dynamically generates problem-specific order pick-lists without the need
for static order sets or pre-defined knowledge bases. PDOE also strongly
aids clinicians in maintaining accurate, up-to-date, coded problem
lists. PDOE accomplishes these functions through its simple but unique
workflow whereby the clinician end-user enters every order within the
context of its single, most-relevant indicating problem.
In this presentation I will 1) discuss the clinical information management
and workflow problems that inspired PDOE, 2) describe PDOE workflow and how
it dynamically generates problem-specific PDOE pick-lists, 3) describe the
experiment that we conducted to begin to support the feasibility of the
PDOE concept, 4) describe the results of this experiment, 5) discuss the
implications of the results of this experiment vis-à-vis future clinical
information system development and future research.
