While biomedical informatics has been a part of the health care culture since the 1950s, the exponential increase in available medical literature has brought the field of study to the forefront. By examining the forthcoming advances in search techniques and data storage and retrieval, medical staff will better be able to keep pace with the paradigm shift in medical decision making. According to Stead, Searle, Fessler, Smith, and Shortliffe (2011), biomedical informatics is the interdisciplinary scientific field that studies and pursues the effective use of data, information, and knowledge for scientific inquiry, problem solving, decision-making, and communication.
Sandi L. Bates, MLIS, head of Reference and User Education at the Library of the Health Sciences, and J. J. Horning, MLIS, information specialist with the Health Workforce Information Center, received Marine Biological Laboratory and National Library of Medicine Course Fellowships after attending the 2011 Biomedical Informatics course sponsored by the National Institute of Health and the National Library of Medicine. The week-long survey course introduced the conceptual and technical components of medical informatics. Bates and Horning will be showcasing the knowledge they gained during four, half-hour brown bag seminars at 12:15 p.m. on February 22 and 29 and March 7 and 14 in Reed Keller Auditorium at the SMHS in Grand Forks.
Topics to be covered during the four sessions will include terminology structures and the United Medical Language System; Semantic Medline; Clinical Informatics and ethics and biomedical informatics.
Learning objectives for the first session are the following:
? Define biomedical informatics.
? Identify components of theory and modeling structures.
? Identify functions of controlled terminologies.
? Explain the Unified Medical Language System (USML).
The University of North Dakota School of Medicine and Health Sciences is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
The University of North Dakota School of Medicine and Health Sciences designates this live activity for a maximum of 1 AMA PRA Category .5 Credit(s)TM. Physicians should only claim the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
The sessions are open to all students, staff, and faculty.
