AbstractIntroduction:Surveillance is an essential component of health and nutrition information management during humanitarian situations. Changes in the nature and scope of humanitarian assistance activities have created new challenges in health surveillance, particularly outside of camp-based settings.Objectives:The primary aim of the Humanitarian Health Information Management Working Group was to identify challenges and areas that need further elucidation in a range of non-camp settings, including urban and rural as well as low-and middle-income countries.Results:Three major themes emerged: (1) standardization of measures and methodologies; (2) context in data collection and management; and (3) hidden populations and the purpose of surveillance in urban settings. Innovative examples of data collection and management in community-based surveillance were discussed, including task-shifting, health worker to community member ratio, and literacy needs.Conclusions:Surveillance in non-camp settings can be informed by surveillance activities in camp-based settings, but requires additional consideration of new methods and population needs to achieve its objectives.

Objective: To summarize the recent literature and research and present a selection of the best papers published in 2017 in the field of Health Information Management (HIM) and Health Informatics. Methods: A systematic review of the literature was performed by the two HIM section editors of the International Medical Informatics Association (IMIA) Yearbook with the help of a medical librarian. We searched bibliographic databases for HIM-related papers using both MeSH descriptors and keywords in titles and abstracts. A shortlist of 15 candidate best papers was first selected by section editors before being peer-reviewed by independent external reviewers. Results: Health Information Exchange was a major theme within candidate best papers. The four papers ultimately selected as ‘Best Papers’ represent themes that include health information exchange, governance and policy issues, results of health information exchange, and methods of integrating information from multiple sources. Other articles within the candidate best papers include these themes as well as those focusing on authentication and de-identification and usability of information systems. Conclusions: The papers discussed in the HIM section of IMIA Yearbook reflect the overall theme of the 2018 edition of the Yearbook, i.e., the tension between privacy and access to information. While most of the papers focused on health information exchange, which reflects the “access” side of the equation, most of the others addressed privacy issues. This synopsis discusses these key issues at the intersection of HIM and informatics.

Health is considered an important foundation for students’ success. However, with the accelerated pace of life, rising pressure from various parties, weak health awareness, lack of exercise time, and other reasons, students’ physical quality is generally declining, the incidence of health diseases is increasing, and the onset age tends to be younger. With the development of the concept of “health first,” health management continues to expand and extend and students’ health management has attracted more attention from many aspects. Due to the late and low starting point of health management research and the lack of professional theoretical support, a complete, mature, and effective health management service system has not been established to deal with the students’ health. In order to make student health management more scientific, normative, and effective, this article has proposed big data technology to build the student health information management model. The first step of the approach is to store and analyze the data of students’ physical health. It is necessary to combine the data collection, supervision, data analysis, and data application of students’ physical health and gradually improve the national monitoring and evaluation system of students’ physical health. Student health check-up management platform is mainly used in realizing the school student information management and student health information relationship between system, science, standardization, and automation, and its main task is to use a computer to perform daily management of all previous medical information of students, such as query, modify, add, delete, and enhance the physical health of students information management ability given the large data analysis of useful information. In addition, we have built a doctor recommendation model based on online questions and answers to give specific health recommendations for students of different physiques.

Banyaknya masyarakat yang memperoleh perawatan pada beberapa instansi layanan kesehatan menjadikan adanya alasan mengenai pentingnya kegiatan pengelolaan informasi kesehatan pasien yang terintegrasi. Hal ini berfungsi untuk menyediakan informasi kesehatan secara komprehensif kepada pasien dan staf medis dalam membantu pelayanan kesehatan yang lebih baik. Artikel ini mengkaji elemen-elemen yang diperlukan dan model dalam kegiatan Health Information Management yang terintegrasi. Kajian artikel ini dilakukan secara deskriptif dengan mengkaji 23 literatur yang terbit dari tahun 2007-2017, yang diperoleh dari jurnal-jurnal yang dilanggan perpustakaan UGM, Google Scholar dan PubMed Health, mengenai pengelolaan informasi kesehatan pasien. Hasil penelitian ini menjelaskan bahwa elemen yang diperlukan dalam penerapan Health Information Management yang terintegrasi dapat dibagi ke dalam lima elemen, yaitu: 1. Sumber Daya Manusia, 2. Kebijakan dan kelembagaan, 3. Penerapan sistem, 4. Data dan pengelolaannya, 5. Akses dan integrasi data. Pada model pengelolaan informasi kesehatan pasien yang terintegrasi, harus menyediakan akses terhadap informasi kesehatan pasien dan memungkinkan pertukaran data yang dikelola beberapa petugas medis, pengelola data pasien dan rumah sakit lain. Hal ini didukung oleh sebuah sistem informasi kesehatan yang dilengkapi dengan sistem keamanan data dan adanya dukungan dari kepala rumah sakit.Kata kunci: Pengelolaan informasi kesehatan; layanan kesehatan di rumah sakit; integrasi informasi kesehatan pasien
