Clinical Informatics• Clinical informatics applies concepts, methods and tools that enable
the optimal use of information and knowledge to measurably improve patient care.
• Clinical informaticians transform health care by analyzing, designing, implementing, and evaluating information and communication systems that enhance individual and population health outcomes, improve patient care, and strengthen the clinician‐patient relationship.
• Clinical informaticians are at the intersection of clinical processes and business processes andcommunication & informationtechnology
• Clinical informatics is applied ‐‐ interventional

MR EMR EHR

• Contain information about a patient's medical history, diagnoses, medications, immunization dates, allergies, radiology images, and lab and test results
• Offer access to evidence‐based tools that providers can use in making decisions about a patient's care
• Automate and streamline providers' workflow• Increase organization and accuracy of patient information• Support key market changes in payer requirements and
consumer expectations
Electronic Health Records are real-time, patient-centered records. They make information available instantly, whenever and wherever it is needed.

Goals of EHRs
• Quality and convenience• Accuracy of diagnoses and health outcomes• Practice efficiencies and cost savings• Care Coordination• Patient Participation

Continuous Glucose Monitoring

• Implanted in subcutaneous tissue
• Measure the level of interstitial levels of glucose NOT blood glucose levels– Q1‐10 minutes
• Using advance algorithms are able to predict current blood glucose levels and trends
• Currently device specific applications on desktops

Where is health data coming from?• Hospitals• Physician’s office• Payors• Commercial Labs• Pharmacies• Public Health/ Gov
• Mobile devices• Apps• Social media• Sensors• Computer games• Personal Health Records
In the future, health data will overwhelming come from outside the health system.

Problems to Solve
• Aging creates healthcare decision‐making, information management, and communication challenges, for elders and their families
• Care Coordination is exceptionally challenging • Respecting the elder’s preferences and priorities is often lost in transition

• Population is Aging• Two‐Fifths Of U.S. Adults Care For Sick, Elderly Relative
• Logistics of Care is Time Consuming• Caregivers are at risk for burnout

Goals of InfoSAGE• Identify the information needs elders and those helping to care for them,
• Create a “living laboratory”• Longitudinally study elder and family collaborative interactions and information management
• Evaluate the extent to which InfoSAGE improves communication, coordination, and collaboration for elders and their family.

• Innovation post‐commercial EHR acquisition is not only possible but necessary
• Clinicians will be overwhelmed by patient‐sourced data
• EHRs are too facility and physician centric to address the healthcare needs of elderly
• Caregivers need tools
