AbstractIn this paper the design and implementation of a decision support system for diabetes care is examined from an ethical perspective. It is noted that the system creates potential for enhancing the realization of the principle of autonomy through improved information to patients and participation by patients. However, there is also potential for using the system in a way that is contrary to good health care. It may provide patients with information they are unable to interpret and handle, and it may be used by healthcare authorities for controlling their personnel in ways contrary to good quality working conditions. In order for a decision support system to function as a well-integrated element in ethically based health care, different ethical aspects have to be taken into account during the design of the system. The ethical aspects also constitute one perspective of a systematic re-evaluation and re-design process.

This chapter indicates the advanced issues of health informatics; the advanced issues of Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS); CDSS and Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE); the false positive alerts in CDSS; and CDSS and biomedical engineering. Health informatics and CDSS are the advanced health care technologies with the support of many technological fields. Health informatics and CDSS apply various computerized devices to provide enhanced health-related outcomes in terms of problem solving, analytical thinking, and decision making. Health informatics and CDSS help clinicians and health care providers to make complex information useful in supporting clinical decisions, thus delivering the best standard of care for each patient. The chapter argues that utilizing health informatics and CDSS has the potential to increase health outcomes and reach strategic goals in global health care.

The implementation of a Decision Support System into an organization triggers a process of organizational change. This process of change is analyzed, and it is concluded that coping with it successfully is a basic requirement for the acceptability of the system by the organization. Guidelines are suggested for dealing with this process of organizational change.

Condition Monitoring System

The shortcomings of current on-line condition monitoring system include: the research was concentrated in AC substation; the function was single and completely independent; the protocols were not compatible and the interface was not unified. To improve these disadvantages and better satisfy the needs of the condition monitoring in converter station, the design and implementation of condition monitoring and decision support system in HVDC converter station was realized. By studying of condition monitoring method, decision support technology and engineering application of HVDC project, the system design principle was discussed, the software structure was shown and the function realization was given in detail. The implementation realized real time monitoring for running equipments, provided reliable gist for maintenance and reduced the costs of resources. The implementation is applied to HVDC project witch has a great significance in improving the operation efficiency and promoting the smart grid construction.
