Computer Uses in Medical Field







INTRODUCTION

At the new Mellinium , Computer and Information Technology invaded all fields of life.

The Medical Field has great development and progress after computerization at many parts in medical and paramedical uses.

The benefits of technology not limited to doctors or medical instruments and machines.

It's now exceed what was expected , Nowadays anyone can access a lot of medical & health care units is seconds.

Nowadays you can get any medical knowledge at a second .

Uses of Computer in Medical Field :

1- Database applications (Applications for clinic, Pharmacy ,hospital & health care centers)
2- IT applications (Instruments , Machines , Pharmaceutical Uses )
3- Internet web Uses (medical and paramedical field , Health Education , Patient care)
4- Networking and communications
5- E-Learning (Multimedia & E-Books)

1- Database Applications :

Uses :

 Management :

In Management of the clinic or even hospital , Using Database system is so effective ..

Used in patient data entery (presonal data , medical history ,.. etc.) instead of millions of paper folders and files.

Also Database Systems can be used for Questioneires about the services offered by the place which is so helpful for the manager to develop the organization
In pharmacies & labs , The use of database extends to the entery of income & outcome of chemichals and drugs

Also the database system can be used as an accounting system to calculate money income and outcome and customar fees

 Researshes & Evidence Based Medicine (EBM) :

Nowadays , All World is talking about EBM which is the most reliable data in medicine.

EBM or Evidence Basesd Medicine give a medical knoledge built in strong evidence (strong statics)


At the past we used to say : The disease is spread in special area

But the future is to say : The disease is epidemic in special area because 90% of the population have the same disease.

By using statics in researches you can reach a solution for the problem

Using computer in statics is too fast and time saving !!

In the new era ,also, you should get the latest knoledge about the medical research .

Using Internet and web services gives you unimaginable amount of data from all the world .


Benefits :
• It is faster than normal method .. (Time saving)
• Give reliable data (Statical based Data)
• Economic (one application and computer versus millions of papers and pens and many employers)
• Statical Analysis give outlines of the organization progress
• Easier to Use (No more offices , No more routine)
• Correction of management methodology of the organization according to advantages and disadvantages appearing in results (successful organization with dreaming future)


2- IT Applications :

Information Technology applications give better results.

Uses :

 Instruments and technology

Using the most recent technology in medical instruments give a cheap , easy , faster and ideal results with less infection and better healing e.g. The Laparoscopy

The medical robots is much better & effective than the old trends of surgical operations

has more functions rather than watching like the old endoscope

 Machines & Electonics

As an example : Using Computerized techniques and devices in radiological field made so helpful mutation of the radiology progress

Nowadays CT scan and MRI devices give a picture of what is happening in the brain.

Echocardiograpgy , Doppler and Duplex is so useful for cardiologist

The Ultrasound systems is now used as wonderful mirror for all obestetricans .
It detects all positive and negative data about mother and baby .
It can expects the maternal and fetal diseases

Ultrasound devices is used too in diagnosis of many diseases. , e.g. appendicitis , ascitis , liver diseases and even cancer in some hidden body areas !!

Comuterization is used in ICU devices to calculate the vital signs.

Really , Comuter changed the world of Medicine


 Nanotechnology
The most recent trends of medical diagnosis and treatment depend on nanotechnology

Only with a computerized devices you can use nanotechnologies

Stem Cell Therapy is an example for nanotechnology applications


 Drug factories & industry
All modern industries depend on Computer systems
e.g. In Pharmaceutical factory : how to make a tablet with a certain dose of drug without computer ??!!

It’s annoying to think in life without computers













3- Internet and web applications

 For Medical and Paramedical

Web is an effective method in health education































4- Networking and Communications :

 Local Network LAN (INTRANET)

Nowadays we can use computer networking systems to communicate between departments of hospital .
This network is a perfect alternative method to transfere data instead of using papers , files and folders.

 Wide Networking systems
The developed countries is using compuerized communication systems for emergency .

In accident we can communicate with hospital or emegency department within seconds

Computerized systems are life saving!!




















5- E- Learning :

 E-Books :

Thousands of books can be found in a small CD with a great ability to search and find certain data
You can get the updated version of every book .
