MODERN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY IN MEDICINE
Keywords:
information technologies, database, medical informatics, information systemsAbstract
The application of modern information technologies in daily work significantly facilitates the collection, analysis of data and interpretation of results in a graphical environment. Scientific works, especially in the field of medicine, involve the collection and analysis of various types of data, on the basis of which pre-set hypotheses are accepted or rejected. They often contain many other interesting indicators, such as unrecognizable hidden dependencies, cause-and-effect relationships, mutual relationships, etc. Thus, the need to use modern concepts, as well as all modern analytical-statistical tools, was imposed. they must be of interest to experts in the subject areas, especially when it comes to scientific papers in the field of medicine. In particular, modern medical information systems should be highlighted. They are used to maintain a computerized clinical history and classification system of terms, diseases and drugs. They also allow creating electronic queues that are much more comfortable for patients. The modern conception of information systems is the consolidation of electronic records of patients with an archive of medical and financial information, data from medical devices and modern means of information exchange. Thus, the medical information system is a combination of hardware, software and a database intended for the automation of various processes in the health care system.
