Clinical use cases

The following four clinical use cases are intended to demonstrate the expected added value of the structured recording and cross-site exchange of patient data for healthcare and research.

Infectiology

RISK PRINCIPE

In this use case, an automatic early warning and cluster system is developed to detect clusters of infections with multi-resistant pathogens.

Research

Research also benefits directly from the possibility of exchanging data across locations. On the one hand, patients suffering from cancer, for example, can contribute information about the course of disease in similar cases to the success of treatment. On the other hand, it is then possible to obtain reliable case numbers for statistical analyses in the case of very rare diseases and to gain new insights into the causes and course of such diseases.

Use of data

Our MeDIC provides you with data in accordance with the specifications and regulations of the MII. These are described in the current version of the core data set.

Medical informatics topics on the ear

 

In 2019, the podcast Digitalization of Medicine was initiated as part of the HiGHmed project. It is aimed at people who are interested in aspects of digitalization in the context of healthcare, want to learn about the background and are looking for new food for thought. The focus is on female scientists and players who provide exciting insights into their work and research. Career paths for women at the interface of medicine and informatics will be highlighted and fields of action of the Medical Informatics Initiative will be presented.
