Hospital Information System (HIS) in Healthcare 1

Let's go e-Learning for this topic scheduled on 21/11/2008 (Fri). If you have notebooks, you can be anywhere in campus to go through this session. If you don’t, you can use PCs @ e-Learning Plaza which have been booked for you. You are required to do the tasks as a group.



1. Start the session by going through a ppt file of HIS lecture in CMS (under topic Different types of Hospital Information System). Duration: 30 mins.



2. After you have completed, attempt the 30 mins e-quiz (2008S2) in CMS (under topic Different types of Hospital Information System). Only ONE submission for every group. Duration: 30 mins.



3. After you have completed with the e-quiz, view a video @ S:\Student Files\Rajale\HS4202\video. The video is about how AKH hospital has successfully deployed & implemented the use of HIS @ ICU. Duration: 15 mins.



4. After you have completed viewing the video, go through an HIS e-learning activity in CMS (under topic Different types of Hospital Information System). Answer ALL the 5 questions and send them via HeuCampus homework submission by 21/11/2008 (Fri), 5 pm. Only ONE submission for every group. Duration: 45 mins.

Health Informatics Overview 1

By the end of the lesson, you would have a better understanding and overview of Health Informatics (HI). HI is a combination school of thoughts of Health Sciences, Communication Sciences, Information Sciences and Computer Technology. (How can "Computer Terminology and Concepts" be placed in these school of thoughts?)

So for this week lesson (7/11), we shall be covering Communication in Healthcare which can be grouped under Communication Sciences. For this lesson, I would like all of you to

1. Bring your notebooks/tablet PCs to class.
2. Install your computer with HeuCampus software.

• Go to the URL: http://heucampus.sitei.nyp.edu.sg/HEUCAMPUS.HTM
• Follow the instructions carefully of how to download the software.

3. Complete your e-Learning activities for "Computer Terminology and Concepts".

Computer Terminology and Concepts 1

Hi, HS4202 students!!! Dr Raj & I would like to welcome all of you to this elective module. There are 37 of you registered for the module and I'm glad to know that you have made it your 1st choice. Likewise, we really hope that you can learn and absorb as much as you can. We believe the acquired knowledge and skills will provide you with a positive mindset of what the technology can offer and do for you as future healthcare professionals.

Btw, there are few important announcement which I would like to make, please call me if you need further clarification.
1. I've already put up your ICA files (presentation & assignment) in CMS. Please look into ICA folder for them. I'll go through with you on 7/11. Please also look at the presentation group file for your group assigned topic as well as the date of your presentation.
2. 2 groups have been selected for the debate. For these 2 groups, (Grp leaders: Zhu Kaili & Sumitra), please see Dr Raj regarding what you need to prepare and do for the debate.

Hospital Information System (HIS) in Healthcare

Let's "GO E!" for this lesson. I'm going to integrate various e-learning tools which you have used along the way to achieve our goal. If you have notebooks, you can be anywhere in campus to go through this e-Learning session. If you don’t, you can use PCs @ E-Learning Plaza & H505 which have been booked for you.

Please note that we are going to commence the session on 25/7 (Fri) @ 2 pm. Group leader must ensure that your members are ready before commencing. Once you are ready, let's begin by following the instructions below.

There are 2 PARTS to the e-Learning session which you have to complete.

PART 1 - (Estimated completion time = 1 hour)
1. Login to HeuCampus. Students who login after 20 mins grace period will be considered as ABSENT 8-).
2. Once most of you have login successfully, I'll be sending a ppt file of HIS Lecture (396 KB). Accept & save this file in your personal drive or your external devices e.g floppy disk or thumbdrive.
3. Spend about 20 - 30 mins to go through the content of the file. Once you have completed, please inform your group leader. He/She will send me a note that your group has completed the task.
4. Thereafter, I'll send your group an "Assessment Key" which you have to use to launch e-assessment in CMS. All of you will have to take the 20 mins quiz! Students who fail will have to retake the test again until they pass before proceed to PART 2!!!

PART 2 - (Estimated completion time = 1 hour)
1. View a 10 mins video @ S:\Student Files\Rajale\HS4202\video. The video is about how AKH hospital has successfully deployed & implemented the use of HIS @ ICU.
2. Once you have completed, please inform your group leader. He/She will inform me that your group has completed the task.
3. Thereafter, I'll send your group a doc file which comes with 5 questions for your group to discuss. Consolidate your group answers and send them to me by TODAY, 5 pm using 2 different modes: HeuCampus via Homework Submission (for Grp 1 – 8) OR Wiki via File Attachment (for Grp 9 – 10).

Web Design & Development

After the lecture on the "Introduction of Web Design", what do you think of these websites? What are the design issues? How can the websites be improved?
http://members.tripod.com/fuzzymartian/
http://www.dokimos.org/ajff/

I do encourage you to start to think & plan the look and feel of your website to avoid repeating these design issues. Planning is very important during your web design phase so work together gals & guys (remember the Storyboarding in one of the presentation slides?). Next, look at other individual or organisation websites: list down good & bad features of these websites.

Once you have done that, you may now consider web authoring tools to implement your design. Other that Microsoft FrontPage that is taught in class, explore other free web authoring tools such as Geocities, Freewebs, Angelfire & Webnode. You may even consider wiki & blog for your website!!!

Electronic Health Records Debate (The benefits of EHR outweights its disadvantages)

Dr Raj & I would like to congratulate both teams for presenting a very interesting and lively debate. You deserve a pat on your back after weeks of preparation and hardwork. I like the fact that you are using real-life experience and examples such as your clinical attachment, the NKF & Sichuan earthquake to put across your points. All of you are winners and I am sure the rest of your classmates would agree with me! They certainly now have better understanding of EHR as well as its benefits & disadvantages. Most importantly, how EHR would affect them directly/indirectly as to-be healthcare professionals. At the end of the day, EHR is here to stay but effective & appropriate measures to be taken up by relevant agencies to minimise its disadvantages such as security and confidentiality issues.

Communication in Healthcare

After today lesson, you will understand why e-communication is an important component in healthcare. Without it, medical records cannot be shareable and available in a timely and effective manner. The following topics are also covered for today lesson.

Communication in Healthcare
- Communication technology and its influence in daily business functions
- Integrated information systems using network
- Finding information on the internet

You are also introduced to HeuCampus, a collaborative & communication tool, to perform the following tasks: homework submission, polling, quiz & of course CHAT! Well, now you are required to use a Wiki (http://hs4202.pbwiki.com/) to upload your content (Gp 4,5, 6 & 7).

Computer Terminology and Concepts

I agree with you if today lecture is "quite boring" ;) But before you learn how to run, you must learn how to walk first, right?

Anyway, the topics which are covered today are the "bolts & nuts" of Information Technology. It is essential you understand the terms & concepts of the following before we begin to look at other issues.

Computer Terminology and Concepts
- Components of computer systems
- Hardware
- Programs
- Information
- Procedures
- People
- Information theory

As promised, you can view the video of iN2015 (An Intelligent Nation, a Global City, powered by Infocomm) at the following website http://www.ida.gov.sg/About%20Us/20070903145526.aspx

Please don't forget to do your e-learning activity & save it as your group no + e-learning topic e.g Group1 (Computer Terminology & Concepts). We shall use HeuCampus to send your files to me.
