Health informatics and evidence-based medicine involves three stages according to Taylor:
Data are created
Data is transformed into various forms of medical knowledge
Data is looped back (closed) and used to inform future patient care
This is referred to in the text as the “virtuous circle of health knowledge management.” The graph on page 13 is also referred to as the “three grand challenges of healthcare informatics.”
Prior to that, “What have we learnt?” discusses three sources of
information in health care.
What is the challenge of transforming medical knowledge into usable data?

Read: Taylor, P. (2006). From Patient Data to Medical Knowledge: The Principles and Practice of Health Informatics. London: Blackwell Publishing. Chapter 2. This chapter discusses some of the earliest suggestions on electronic health record (EHR) charting. Reed’s paper is mentioned as a source from publication in 1966. How has electronic information changed the work environment for health care? Post a very brief discussion answering two of the following questions (remembering to cite the readings). Respond to at least two classmates’...
What is the challenge of transforming medical knowledge into usable data? Think of a healthcare situation you’ve worked in. Or, only if you’r e comfortable doing so and have no professional experience to share, discuss one you have or a family member has been in. Please do this without naming anyone and being as anonymous as possible. Very briefly discuss what this experience and what it has taught you about sources of information. Explain the distinct sources of the information...
Title: Partners Health Care Systems (PHS): Transforming Health Care Services Delivery through Information Management According to government sources, U.S. expenditures on health care in 2009 reached nearly $2.4 trillion dollars ($2.7 trillion by the end of 2010).[1] Despite this vaunting national level of expenditure on medical treatment, death rates due to preventable errors in the delivery of health services rose to approximately 98,000 deaths in 2009.[2] To address the dual challenges of cost control and quality improvement, some have argued...
