What is an active Clinical Decision Support system?
A CDSS has been defined as active knowledge systems which use two or more items of patient data to generate case-specific advice. It is an application that analyzes data to help healthcare providers make clinical decisions. A clinical decision support system is an adaptation of the decision support system commonly used to support business management.

With an s. The apostrophe without the s is used only for plurals and the names Jesus and Moses. All other possessives take 's regardless of spelling. For example, CDSS's annual dance.
What is the difference between a CDO and a CDS?
CDOs assemble an entire portfolio of credit risk exposures, segment that exposure into tranches with unique risk/return/maturity profiles, which are then transfered or sold to investors. A CDO's reference (underlying) portfolio can be assembled with physical cash flow assets such as bonds, loans, MBS, ABS etc., or with synthetic credit risk exposures: synthetic CDOs are backed by a portfolio of credit default swaps (CDS). alternatively: CDSs are swap contracst and agreements in which the protection buyer of the CDS makes a series of payments (often referred to as the CDS "fee" or "spread") to the protection seller and, in exchange, receives a payoff if a credit instrument (typically a bond or loan) experiences a credit event. It is a form of reverse trading.
The Big Short?
If you're interested in learning more about the origin of the current economic woes affecting the U.S. and the collapse of much of the financial system a great book to check out is Michael Lewis' The Big Short. Lewis, the author of Liar's Poker, Moneyball, and The Blind Side, retells the story of many of those involved in figuring out what was happening within the subprime mortgage market, the investment houses that securitized pools of the mortgages, and the ratings agencies that blindly rated what amounted to utter junk as AAA bonds. Lewis takes you inside the minds of several interesting and somewhat unorthodox institutional investors as they begin to play amateur sleuth in the world of collateralized debt obligations and credit default swaps. But you don't have to know your CDOs from your CDSs to enjoy this book. The writing style is very engaging and Lewis takes great care to explain some of the most complex financial instruments in language that can be understood by almost anyone. Despite much of the book happening in a world that none of us will ever visit, that of the inside of the large investment banks on Wall Street, the book makes it clear to the average investor how the inner workings of those banks affect those of us outside that world. This valuable clarity alone would be enough reason to pick this book up and give it a read. Indeed it was the reason I started reading it. However, soon I found myself reading this book more out of pure enjoyment of Michael Lewis' storytelling ability and the simple way in which he broke down the complex machinations of Wall Street than for any insight into the investment world. Insight did come, but it was as an added bonus to the pure fun of reading The Big Short.
What Application software are used in healthcare?
In the healthcare industry, a wide variety of application software are used to streamline processes, improve patient care, and enhance overall efficiency. Key applications include Electronic Health Records (EHR) systems for managing patient data, Telemedicine apps for virtual consultations, Patient Management Systems for scheduling and tracking appointments, and Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) to assist healthcare providers in making data-driven decisions. With the rise of digital health, healthcare app development is evolving rapidly, incorporating features like mobile health monitoring, medication reminders, and integration with wearable devices. These apps are transforming patient engagement and healthcare delivery, making it more efficient and accessible.
How are computers used in hospitals?
Electronic Health Records (EHRs) Patient Data Management: Storing and retrieving patient medical histories, diagnoses, treatment plans, and lab results. Interoperability: Sharing patient information across different departments and healthcare facilities for coordinated care. Medical Imaging Diagnostic Tools: Managing and analyzing images from X-rays, MRIs, CT scans, and ultrasounds. PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System): Storing and accessing medical images electronically, facilitating remote consultations and second opinions. Telemedicine Remote Consultations: Enabling virtual consultations between patients and healthcare providers, especially in remote areas. Telemonitoring: Allowing continuous monitoring of patients’ health metrics and vital signs from their homes. Laboratory Information Systems (LIS) Sample Tracking: Managing lab samples and test results efficiently. Automated Testing: Using automated machines controlled by computers for various tests, improving speed and accuracy. Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) Diagnostic Assistance: Providing evidence-based recommendations and alerts for healthcare providers to enhance decision-making. Drug Interaction Alerts: Alerting providers about potential adverse drug interactions and allergies.
Case study answer of Should Google Organize Your Medical Records?
Should Google Organize Your Medical Records 1. What concepts in the chapter are illustrated in this case? Who are the stakeholders in this case? Chapter concepts illustrated in this case include: * Responsibility - accepting the potential costs, duties, and obligations for decisions. Google must assume the bulk of responsibility for securing the data and ensuring it's used only for authorized purposes. * Accountability - a feature of systems and social institutions: It means that mechanisms are in place to determine who took responsible action. Again, Google must ensure accountability of its systems and those responsible for creating and maintaining the system. * Liability - a feature of political systems in which a body of laws is in place that permits individuals to recover the damages done to them by other actors, systems, or organizations. Federal and state governments must pass and enforce laws protecting medical data and its uses. Google must assume liability for the system. Of the five moral dimensions discussed in the chapter, at least three play a major role in the proposed system: * Information rights and obligations * Accountability and control * System quality Stakeholders in this case include patients and health-care consumers, doctors and other medical professionals, insurance companies, health-care related businesses like pharmaceutical companies, governments, and storage providers like Google, Microsoft and Revolution Health Group. 2. What are the problems with America's current medical recordkeeping system? How would electronic medical records alleviate these problems? The current medical record keeping system is based on the traditional paper-filing system. Only about 15 percent is currently digitally recorded. In the traditional setting records are copied and duplicates are given to patients and doctors. This system is a very slow process and inefficient at times. The process becomes difficult to share with other doctors and insurance companies. It is also very expensive because you need a lot of people to file and handle paperwork. By having electronic medical records everything will be available at your fingertips with the click of a few buttons. You can transfer a lot of information and it will be all paperless, but on the other hand, it opens a gateway for security breaches in the system. 3. What are the pros and cons of electronic patient records? Do you think the concerns over digitizing our medical records are valid? Why or why not? The pros of electronic patient records: * Once in practice, this process becomes very simple. * It is less laborious and time consuming, while at the same time being more accurate. * It eliminates human error due to misinterpretations as a result of bad handwriting, etc. * As the information is stored digitally, it would cost less. * Archives of data would take up less space (as they would be stored virtually and not physically). * Easy access to medical history/data for the professionals concerned. * Geographical boundaries are no longer a limiting factor. Some cons of electronic patient records: * The first hurdle in implementing electronic medical records is the initial set-up cost. Though the cost would be comparatively low in the long run, it would take a HUGE initial investment to get the system up and running. * Human error cannot be completely erased as technicians would be in charge of the initial transfer from paper to the online system. * This would also mean that these technicians have to be well trained, with a working knowledge of both IT systems & processes, along with at least a cursory knowledge of medicine as well. * It lacks the human touch, and not all patients are comfortable to have their doctors replaced by computers. * Privacy issues are also a major concern in today's world. This information could be devastating if it falls into the wrong hands, and in some cases, the patient may not even be aware of his personal information being misused. ------------------------------------------------- Of course the concerns over digitizing medical records are valid, especially the last one. For a system to be usable, especially where the health of millions (hundreds of them) are concerned, it has to be as close to perfect as possible. Remember, these are people's lives we are dealing with here, not some consignment of inanimate goods. Hence, we have to ensure that the electronic healthcare system is the best it could be, before entrusting the data, and in extension, the lives of people across the globe to it. 4. Should people entrust Google with their electronic medical records? Why or why not? Google is an online giant, with a strong spirit of innovation and a reasonably good track record in everything that it has dabbled in. Furthering their reputation to make good services available to the public for free, it has launched an application called Google Health, with the intention of making patients' records easy accessible and more complete and to streamline recordkeeping. However, I am of the strong opinion that people shouldn't entrust Google with their electronic medical records. This is private data of hundreds of millions of people, which is of extremely sensitive nature. Google, in spite of its pompous mission statement of "organizing the world's information and making it universally accessible and useful", is, at the end of the day, an organization focussed on making profits. Its core objective is to form as large a database of personal information as possible so it can harness these resources to further its main objective of increasing revenues through advertising. There have been several complaints from Google users about their personal data being used by it to further its ad-making business, which, though vehemently denied by Google, is highly disconcerting. I think a good option would be to make this a government-run project, or at least have a consortium of private players working in tandem with the government on it. This at least ensures that the State is kept abreast of developments every step of the way, and is a control check which oversees that the core function of Electronic Health Records (EHR), which is of serving the people, is not diluted as a result of greed for profit 5. If you were in charge of designing an electronic medical recordkeeping system, what are some features you would include? What are the features you would avoid? If I were in charge of designing an EHR system, here are some of the features I would include: * A unique username and password, along with a biometric ID system to ensure that access Is only on a need-to-know basis, and only after being granted permission by the patient. This permission should also be time-limited, for instance, maybe for a duration of 7 days, after which it would lapse and those needing information from the patient would have to apply to him/her again for a fresh go-ahead. * A secure encrypted website for extra security, with further online security systems in place. * At least 2 complete backups of all data, stored securely in servers in separate geographical locations. * Ensure that hospitals have HIS (HOSPITAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS) and Clinical Information System (CIS) up and running, with well trained staff. * Have a Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) in place which would link health observations like patient data with health knowledge like established clinical protocols to help doctors take right decisions for improved healthcare. * Install a Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE) system, which would ensure electronic entry of doctor's instructions for the treatment of patients under his or her care. * The full potential of EHR can be utilized only when rural areas too are taken care of, especially in countries like India. So, Mobile e-health & Tele hospitals/Tele medicines should be set up in line with this goal. * Implement ERP in the healthcare sector. Hospitals can reduce their overheads through ERP as it helps to integrate all functions namely accounts , finance , human resources and bring them systems under one common database on the basis of ERP architecture. Based on the requirements, hospitals have to decide on the appropriate software. Following are the features I would avoid: * ------------------------------------------------- The entire system, though complicated in implementing and at the back end, should not be complicated to the front end users (patients, doctors, etc). It is impossible to train millions of patients, and doctors are busy professionals with little time to spare on IT training, so it is imperative that the user interface be as intuitive as possible. * ------------------------------------------------- It should not be exorbitantly priced to the end user. Companies may stand to make a few profits on this, which is justified by the high cost of implementation, but it should not make the end user pay up so much more that he gets discouraged at the very prospect of signing up. This would defeat the very purpose of setting up EHR in the first place. * ------------------------------------------------- Those companies in charge shouldn't be given a free reign. There should be checks and controls in places to ensure that no malpractice takes place. * ------------------------------------------------- The whole process should be audited regularly in all aspects (not just financial) by a government-appointed committee to ensure that the controls and checks involved are followed to the letter.
What are the main causes the recession?
You will hear many opinions but it was clearly an irresponsible lack of reasonable securities regulations, brought on by political zeal to deregulate private business. In 1995 JP Morgan got Congress to legalize what are called "Credit Default Swaps," which are just insurance policies by another name, but they are free of insurance policy requirements that they be financially sound, backed by asset reserves insurance policies. A CDS was issued by anybody for the premium (not just insurance companies), just a contract. CDSs are sneaky though because they also allow people to insure things they don't own, which is another way of saying "gambling." Ordinarily people can only insure investments and things they own, such as your car or a lender buying mortgage insurance to protect against a borrower's defaulting. But you could get a CDS on anything, that paid off on whether someone else's stock went up or down for example. A long time ago they allowed gambling on other people's assets, gambling on stock values (without actually buying the stock) at what were called "bucket shops." But it was outlawed in 1915 under all state's laws because of the financial disasters it caused --but Congress overruled them in 1995. After the Dot.com collapse of 2001 the Fed lowered interest rates to get us out of the Dot.com bust recession and investors invested in real estate. But because mortgages could now be 'insured' with CDS's (who had no real standards or even a central marketplace. totally unregulated), Wall Street and the banks could sell bundles of mortgage loans stamped "AAA insured" as "mortgage backed securities," sell stock in them on Wall Street. Real estate values rocketed up , up and up, 15% per year. Today, as of 3/11, oustanding Credit Default Swaps 'insure' some $45 TRILLION (with a T) dollars! Soon they were loaning money to anyone and everyone, to "sub-prime" (unqualified) borrowers to buy real estate because it was just going up (and the mortgages could be 'insured' and sold to investors). The banks were effectively not really even loaning their own money, they sold off the mortgages, so they did not care. It was great for a while, people could even borrow more money on their houses as real estate values increased. Any borrower could just sell the property for a profit if they could pay the mortgage so there was no risk. The borrowers, stock market and executives made huge amounts of money. But sooner or later the Ponzi scheme gave out, people thought real estate prices were insane, weak borrowers could not borrow enough to pay their mortgages, foreclosures mounted and the whole house of cards fell down. No one wanted to buy real estate and prices plummeted. Had the U.S. Congress not bailed out banks with $3 trillion most of those CDS's would have become due and defaulted on and most banks would have gone bankrupt, the entire world financial system would have been destroyed. (The US even had to buy the AIG insurance company so they could payoff about $100 billion in CDS "polcies" that did become due.) If they had not, instead of 10% national unemployment you would have had something the like 50% unemployment of the Great Depression. WE DODGED A BULLET so far. Currently, as of 3/11, the banks are complaining about regulations yet Credit Default Swaps are still legal. Housing has another 10-20% drop to go before it reaches prices that actually reflect what people can pay for housing. And about a fifth of the houses have bigger mortgages on them than they are worth.
