Produktbeschreibung
This largely revised second edition comprehensively reviews the need and rationale for the integration of medical and dental patient data. The reader will find extensive guidance on issues involved with care and data integration, and how to achieve an integrated model of healthcare. The book discusses how the use of state-of-the-art, fully integrated (dental-medical), electronic health records can improve clinical, financial as well as societal outcomes. In the book you will also find different aspects that play a role in integration including existing clinical software implementations (and their paths for integration), clinical touch points, and how current and future developments will facilitate the integration process in a more efficient way.
This second edition of Integration of Medical and Dental Care and Patient Data details the available methods and technologies for successfully integrating patient medical and dental data. It is, therefore, an important and timely update for informaticians and a broad range of both dental and medical professionals and other health professionals (dental assistants, hygienists, nurses) as well as clinical students entering the professional environment.
Prof. ?Valerie Powell is presently a Professor at Robert Morris University and teaches discrete mathematics for IS professionals, networks and data communications, information security and assurance, as well as M programming for health care applications. Her present areas of research focus are on clinical data integration.
Amit Acharya, BDS, MS, PhD, is the Executive Director of the Marshfield Clinic Research Institute (MCRI) at Marshfield Clinic Health System (MCHS) in Wisconsin, USA. Dr. Acharya provides leadership and direction to support the mission and vision of the Institute as well as responsible for the oversight of the research operations. He subsequently serves as the Chief Dental Informatics Officer of the Family Health Center at MCHS and as a tenured Research Scientist at the Center for Oral and Systemic Health at MCRI. With over a decade of experience in the field of Health Information Technology, Health Informatics, and Clinical Research, Dr. Acharya is a well-regarded leader in dental informatics. As a general dental surgeon and a computer scientist with expertise in the field of biomedical informatics, Dr. Acharya's research focus has been in the area of applied clinical informatics focusing on integration of medical and dental data, clinical and research information systems, design and architecture of electronic health records, developing clinical decision supports and investigating the oral-systemic relationship between periodontal and systemic disease such as diabetes, cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. He has served on the 2012 American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) Scientific Programming Committee (SPC) and many other national committees. He has received multiple grant funding dedicated to bridging the medical and dental divide throughout the course of his career. Dr. Acharya has published over 100 scientific abstracts and manuscripts in national and international peer-reviewed journals and was also one of the editors of the first edition of this book - 'Integration of Medical and Dental Care and Patient Data'.
Dr. Thankam Thyvalikakath is Director of Dental Informatics Core at the Indiana University School of Dentistry as well as a Research Scientist at the Center for Biomedical Informatics, Regenstrief Institute, Indianapolis, IN. As core director, she has established a program to enhance patient care through improved data capture and retrieval to assess treatment outcomes. Dr. Thyvalikakath earned her PhD degree in Biomedical Informatics from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. She also holds a dental degree and certificate in clinical research from the University of Pittsburgh as well as a dental degree from the University of Kerala, India and a Master's degree in Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery from the University of Calicut, India.
