the application of information technology to facilitate the creation and use of health related
data, information, and knowledge
what is eHealth
aka health informatics
data: observations or symbols; e.g. 10

what are possible advantages and disadvantages
of using technology in practice
disadvantages:
- mismatch of what we need vs what is available
- technology advancing faster than practice/guidelines/workflow can accommodate
- requires some computer literacy
- not funded or subsidized (e.g. physicians don't have a billing code for telehealth)
- inadequate time, information, expertise/people, economic incentive, interoperability
- data rich but information poor
what are barriers to the utilization of technology
- changes workflow
in practice
- individual resistance to change
- privacy concerns
Personal Area Networks
- close proximity networks usually to connect accessories
what are PANs
- includes Wireless PANs (WPANs) which include bluetooth or infrared devices; possible
security issues
Local Area Networks
what are LANs - can be hardwired or wireless (WLANs)
