CARE2X Integrated Hospital Information System
In learning we often look in turn for role models, exemplars then even some comparator or examples against which to compare and contrast to understand the context and our own knowledge, skills and potential.
In health and social care information systems it's useful for me to look at what is available in Drupal. A recent find is Care2X with a demo available. There are numerous plans to take these systems further:
Care3g is seeking funding.
There is also Project Mtuha.
There's a post by Tim Schofield - Helping African hospitals with open source software that describes how the enterprise resource planning system KwaMoja @KwaMoja is being used to provide administration systems for hospitals in Africa.
Even though not on the same scale as commercial hospital systems in the USA and EU ... these are significant software projects compared with my purposes which are educational.

For portals, speak patients' language ( c/o Healthcare IT News )
Mike Miliard's
in Healthcare IT News is a reminder of accessibility and engagement at the level of a communities languages.
This is one of the reasons why I am committed to using Drupal, to try to make use of its Internationalization capabilities amongst others.
Thanks to Mike's post I'm now familiar with a 'full court press' as a hospital - enterprise wide no less - seeks to achieve defined patient engagement levels by accessing their electronic health record.
This begs the question of what constitutes the patients' language? I don't just mean the purely linguistic forms of Chinese, Korean, Russian and Greek mentioned in the article. The effort is driven by the statutory demands of meaningful use, but what of the patient's general literacy, IT and health literacies? How do patients make sense of their own health (or another in the role of a carer) not just in a given language, but culturally from a medical sociological and public health perspective? What is the community's vocabulary when it comes to health?
How can we assure that meaningfulness? How can we affirm that use and critically translate use into patient benefits and self-efficacy?
You could also entitle Mike's article as

Call for Papers for a Special Issue of Human-Computer Interaction journal "Body Sensing and Tracking in Healthcare"
Special Issue Editors
Kenton O’Hara (Microsoft Research)
Abigail Sellen (Microsoft Research)
Juan Wachs (Purdue University)
Bart Jansen (University of Brussels)
Recent technical developments in sensing and tracking the human body and and its motions have sparked huge interest in healthcare domains. New interaction techniques promise to transform key aspects of healthcare practice for both diagnosis and treatment. Developments in sensing capabilities and machine learning open up rich possibilities for tracking and analysing the body’s form and movement. Alongside established optoelectronic sensing, in which machine readable markers are placed on the patient’s body, marker-free computer vision technologies (e.g., Kinect) have made body tracking cheaper and more practical. In addition, sensors such as accelerometers, gyroscopes, and ultrasonics offer new opportunities for how body form, motion, and orientation can be understood.
These body-tracking technologies are already being explored in both patient- and clinician-oriented applications. They are being deployed in diagnosis and ongoing assessment of motor impairment conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis. Research is examining their use in rehabilitation of movement disorders arising from injury or other conditions. Within the operating theatre, touchless gesture recognition enables clinicians to interact with medical images without compromising sterility. Other augmented-reality research explores how cameras and projectors can be used to superimpose medical images on the patient enabling clinicians to view inside the body in relation to external anatomical features.
These systems raise important research questions that are central to the concerns of Human-Computer Interaction, from the development of new forms of interaction to the understanding of emerging practices with these systems in clinical contexts. This special issue will bring together original research exploring HCI concerns of body form and motion tracking in healthcare including: surgery, patient diagnosis, assessment, rehabilitation, and other forms of clinical intervention. It will also address the effect of these new technologies on existing clinical and treatment practices.
Research topics include:

Computer-based 'avatar' therapy promising for persecutory auditory hallucinations
A study in the British Journal of Psychiatry has reported symptom reductions among patients hearing voices, who developed computerised 'avatars' of the voices and then engaged in dialogue with them. When compared with treatment as usual during a randomised trial, the therapy group showed mean reductions in scores for auditory hallucinations and for the omnipotence and malevolence of the voices. The researchers conclude: 'Patients who are able to sustain a dialogue with their persecutor feel much more in control.'Source:

Government steps in to settle medical dispute over digital patient records - Canada
REGINA - The Saskatchewan government has stepped in to help three Regina doctors who were having problems getting their patients' digital medical records from the clinic where they used to work.
The office manager at the Gateway Alliance Medical Clinic says efforts to get the electronic records from the Midway Walk-in Healthcare Centre had been ongoing for two months.
Robin Anderson says Midway transferred paper files as required by Saskatchewan law, but not the digital records.

About two years ago I approached Dr Kevin Fong with an idea for a BBC scientific programme, and at last it’s happened. Since September I’ve been working with Kevin and the BBC Horizon team to pull together a programme about human factors in healthcare. It looks at how learning about the human in the system and the system itself can bring about enormous improvements in safety and outcomes that technology and medical science can only aspire to.
Kevin and the Horizon team have produced something inspirational yet scientific, and - just as importantly - is by a clinician, for clinicians. It's written in a way that will appeal to both those in healthcare and the public. It uses a tragic death to highlight human factors that all of us are prone to, and looks at how we can learn from others both in and outside healthcare to make a real difference in the future.
Although the BBC Management chose a surgery based title for the programme to gain mass public appeal the lessons of this programme are for everyone in healthcare.
It would wonderful if you could pass on details of the programme to anyone you know who works in healthcare. My goal is that by the end of this week, every one of the 1 million or so people who work in healthcare in the UK will be able to watch it (whether on Thursday or on iPlayer).

Dear British Computer Society Health Member,
We would like to invite you to attend the following event supported by BCS Health at the BCS office in Covent Garden, London:
The Digital Doctor, 1-2 Dec, Covent Garden, BCS London
This conference is organised by a small group of doctors with the aim of helping clinicians harness technology to become better doctors.
On Saturday we will teach you to use technology and tools to make everyday tasks such as email, audits, task management, keeping up with literature, collaborative working and research, more efficient and fun.
On Sunday we will be introducing app creation - how to do it, what is involved and how to convince others to help you do it. We will demystify the software development process and teach you how to bend technology to meet your needs. We will also shed light on how NHS IT works (or doesn't work)!.
We also hope that you can share tips and tricks with us before and during the event. You can attend either days but we hope to see you during both!
