  3. Write this down Course website: http://www.cs.colorado.edu/~ksiek/Teaching/CSCI5312/F08/ Note: Lecture notes/slides will be posted before each class

  4. Who am I? • Katie Siek, Assistant Professor • ksiek@cs.colorado.edu • ECOT 743 by appointment • Put MI: in email subjects

  5. Classroom Policies Where to sit Laptops Information Appliances

  6. Absentee Policies • Religious Observances (2 weeks notice) • Documentation • Illness (must say cannot attend class) • Death • Law Incidents • Travel (2 weeks notice)

  7. Who is this class for? • People interested in medical informatics or interdisciplinary research • People interested in gaining research skills • People interested in user interface design, human computer interaction, ubiquitous computing • There will be a lot of reading • There will be a lot of group collaboration • There will be some programming within groups

  8. What are we going to do in this class? Topics in Medical Informatics Intense Synthesis Paper Techniques to use when conducting medical informatics research More time for project Final Project

  9. Class Goals To develop the skills and practices necessary to collaborate with medical researchers and create assistive and performance support applications. To develop practical research oriented skills for interdisciplinary (or transdisciplinary) research. To provide an overview of ongoing and emerging research topics in medical informatics.

  10. About the Course • 20% Quizzes • 8 short quizzes based on readings • 20% Class Participation • Grad • 5% class participation • 15% research paper, paper approval, 15 minute presentation, 10 minute discussion (includes CAETE students) • 30% Synthesis Paper • 3 papers from highly selective conferences or journals • Construct a taxonomy and use the taxonomy as an organizing principle for the paper • 30% Final Project

  11. Course Management • Course Website • Links to readings, slides, handouts, assignments • Google Group (CSCI5312) • Google Docs (wiki usage) • Assignments posted on the week they are assigned, not day they are due (see Due Date table) • Who has used Google Docs before?

  12. When did Medical Informatics start?

  13. A definition Medical informatics is a systematic study of the identification, collection, storage, communication, retrieval, and analysis of data about medical care services to improve decisions made by clinicians.

  14. H. Small. The “coxcomb”: Florence Nightingale’s most famous statistical diagram (1858). http://www.florence-nightingale-avenging-angel.co.uk/Coxcomb.htm.

  15. Standard idea of medical informatics

  16. …or…Good or Bad?

  17. Different Idea, Same Medium

  18. 1958 National Library of Medicine and IBM work to create bibliographic database 1966 Massachusetts General Hospital Utility Multi-Programming System Key piece missing in the definition - information technology Database Retrieval

  19. 1973 Robert Ledley creates Computer Topography Scans at NIST 1974 MYCIN created - expert system to help diagnose infections Key piece missing in the definition - information technology Database Retrieval Clinician Support

  20. 1997 Apple researchers use Newton PDA in India 1996 Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act Key piece missing in the definition - information technology Database Retrieval Clinician Support Spread Mobile Support

  21. 2000 Consumer Health Informatics 2002 UbiHealth Key piece missing in the definition - information technology Field Split Database Retrieval Clinician Support Spread Mobile Support
