@techreport{Hunt:2001, abstract = {Practicing evidence-based medicine involves integrating individual clinical expertise with the best available evidence from systematic research. The necessary skills include formulating a concise question that addresses uncertainties in patient management and quickly identifying the highest quality relevant information from the medical literature. The previous articles in this series have provided guides for the steps that follow the identification of the best evidence - systematically assessing its validity and applicability. In this Users' guide, we present an approach to choosing and subsequently searching the most efficient electronic resource for finding the best evidence. We have focussed primarily on electronic resources as these are generally easier to search and more current than many print products. With the relatively recent appearance of many of the resources we recommend, however, little research specifically addresses their relative merits. The approaches we describe in this guide reflect our experiences and those of our colleagues working individually or with medical trainees encompassing a wide range of learning levels.}, added-at = {2009-11-04T22:30:29.000+0100}, author = {Hunt, Dereck L and Jaeschke, Roman and McKibbon, K Ann}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2d813ce164726906554519925cc08ea69/diego_ma}, institution = {Centre for Health Evidence}, interhash = {968b46e86b4d952e72c5bf7ab52db48a}, intrahash = {d813ce164726906554519925cc08ea69}, keywords = {EBM biomedical computer}, note = {Based on the Users' Guides to Evidence-based Medicine and reproduced with permission from JAMA.

It is the rational study of the way we think about patients, and the way that treatments are defined, selected and evolved. It is the study of how clinical knowledge is created, shaped, shared and applied. Ultimately, it is the study of how we organise ourselves to create and run healthcare organisations. With such a pivotal role, it is likely that in the next century, the study of informatics will become as fundamental to the practice of medicine as anatomy has been to the last. Health informatics is thus as much about computers as cardiology is about stethoscopes. Rather than drugs, X-ray machines or surgical instruments, the tools of informatics are more likely to be clinical guidelines, formal health languages, information systems, or communication systems like the Internet. These tools, however, are only a means to an end, which is the delivery of the best possible healthcare. Although the name �health informatics� only came into use around 1973 (Protti, 1995), it is a study that is as old as healthcare itself. It was born the day that a clinician first wrote down some impressions about a patient�s illness, and used these to learn how to treat their next patient. Informatics has grown considerably as a clinical discipline in recent years fuelled, in part no doubt, by the advances in computer technology. What has fundamentally changed is our ability to describe and manipulate health knowledge at a highly abstract level, as has our ability to build up rich communication systems to support the process of healthcare. We can formally say that health informatics is the study of information and communication systems in healthcare. Health informatics is particularly focused on: 1. Understanding the fundamental nature of these information and communication systems, and describing the principles which shape them, 2. Developing interventions which can improve upon existing information and communication systems, 3. Developing methods and principles which allow such interventions to be designed, 4. Evaluating the impact of these interventions on the way individuals or organizations work, or on the outcome of the work. Specific subspecialties of health informatics include clinical informatics, which focuses on the use of information in support of patient care and bioinformatics, which focuses on the use of genomic and other biological information.}, added-at = {2009-10-27T15:44:03.000+0100}, author = {Coiera, Enrico}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/27bdf570af01110d41ab758119833670c/diego_ma}, booktitle = {Guide to Health Informatics}, edition = {Second}, interhash = {b8912a214f6d23dbef31d6a42c6e7225}, intrahash = {7bdf570af01110d41ab758119833670c}, keywords = {biomedical computer health wanted}, publisher = {Oxford University Press}, timestamp = {2009-10-27T15:44:03.000+0100}, title = {Guide to Health Informatics}, url = {http://www.coiera.com/}, year = 2003 } @inbook{Coiera:2003b, added-at = {2009-10-27T15:43:07.000+0100}, author = {?}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2b1349efa94d2a9c2149117275b849271/diego_ma}, chapter = 25, crossref = {Coiera:2003}, interhash = {9486bea12ccaaa735a5d27d9a9608d55}, intrahash = {b1349efa94d2a9c2149117275b849271}, keywords = {health biomedical computer clinical}, timestamp = {2009-10-27T15:43:07.000+0100}, title = {Clinical Decision Support Systems}, url = {http://www.coiera.com/index.htm}, year = 2003 } @book{Shortliffe:2006, added-at = {2009-10-26T20:50:57.000+0100}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/297ff395507c16254a7373b4c258d9335/diego_ma}, editor = {Shortliffe, Edward H. and Cimino, James J.}, interhash = {8d415641bfd323640feace5b40d95c60}, intrahash = {97ff395507c16254a7373b4c258d9335}, keywords = {biomedical computer wanted}, publisher = {Springer}, timestamp = {2009-10-26T20:50:57.000+0100}, title = {Biomedical Informatics: Computer Applications in Health Care and Biomedicine}, year = 2006 } @book{Hersh:2009, added-at = {2009-10-26T20:46:28.000+0100}, author = {Hersh, William}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/288d6f0a1fe10563824d83f3748d9b1cb/diego_ma}, edition = {Third}, interhash = {5e903a0b222fcaa82365bb6cbbc2b340}, intrahash = {88d6f0a1fe10563824d83f3748d9b1cb}, keywords = {biomedical health computer wanted}, publisher = {Springer}, series = {Health Informatics}, timestamp = {2009-10-26T20:46:28.000+0100}, title = {Information Retrieval: A Health and Biomedical Perspective}, url = {http://skynet.ohsu.edu/~hersh/irbook/}, year = 2009 } @article{Abiteboul:1996, abstract = {We present the Lorel language, designed for querying semistructured data. Semistructured data is becoming more and more prevalent, e.g., in structured documents such as HTML and when performing simple integration of data from multiple sources. Traditional data models and query languages are inappropriate, since semistructured data often is irregular, some data is missing, similar concepts are represented using different types, heterogeneous sets are present, or object structure is not fully known. Lorel is a user-friendly language in the SQL/OQL style for querying such data effectively. For wide applicability, the simple object model underlying Lorel can be viewed as an extension of ODMG and the language as an extension of OQL. The main novelties of the Lorel language are: (i) extensive use of coercion to relieve the user from the strict typing of OQL, which is inappropriate for semistructured data; and (ii) powerful path expressions, which permit a flexible form of declarative navigational access and are particularly suitable when the details of the structure are not known to the user. Lorel also includes a declarative update language. Lorel is implemented as the query language of the Lore prototype database management system at Stanford (see http://www-db.stanford.edu/lore). In addition to presenting the Lorel language in full, this paper briefly describes the Lore system and query processor. We also discuss how Lorel could be implemented on top of a conventional object-oriented database management system.}, added-at = {2008-02-25T04:42:49.000+0100}, author = {Abiteboul, Serge and Quass, Dallan and McHugh, Jason and Widom, Jennifer and Wiener, Janet L.}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2eb0ad9c1047339e518a52021e353496e/diego_ma}, interhash = {5ea95b82ce7a8a6af366f178cedb0c3d}, intrahash = {eb0ad9c1047339e518a52021e353496e}, journal = {International Journal on Digital Libraries}, keywords = {computer}, timestamp = {2008-02-25T04:42:49.000+0100}, title = {The {Lorel} Query Language for Semistructured Data}, url = {http://citeseer.nj.nec.com/abiteboul97lorel.html}, year = 1997 } @book{ZZZ-Joshi:1981, added-at = {2007-12-14T02:49:44.000+0100}, address = {Cambridge}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/21fac5251a29fb039dcfcbdfead8991f6/diego_ma}, booktitle = {Elements of Discourse Understanding}, editor = {Joshi, Aravind K. and Webber, Bonnie L. and Sag, Ivan A.}, interhash = {e9529ef3b28fd841eafb6815919b1499}, intrahash = {1fac5251a29fb039dcfcbdfead8991f6}, keywords = {computer linguistics}, publisher = {Cambridge University Press}, timestamp = {2007-12-14T02:49:44.000+0100}, title = {Elements of Discourse Understanding}, year = 1981 } @inproceedings{Hogan:2003, abstract = {The trend toward globalisation of products and services has brought a strong economic imperative to the development of general methods for the localisation of software to different cultural environments. While ad hoc, bolt-on localisation may satisfy immediate commercial objectives, its extension to multiple locales is not cost-effective and an integrated strategy is needed. In this more sustainable approach, known as software internationalisation, the requirements of disparate markets are addressed during analysis and system design, with the architecture developed so that localisation to a particular environment is straightforward, and involves minimal re-engineering. Given the limited size of the Australasian market, detailed attention to the technical issues of internationalisation is of critical importance to the future of software development in the region, as is the availability of graduates adequately prepared for this environment. Thus motivated, this paper examines the state of play in a number of aspects of application level software internationalisation, with our focus the core research challenges of the next few years, and the consequences of these trends for the software engineering curriculum.}, added-at = {2007-12-14T02:40:43.000+0100}, address = {Adelaide}, author = {Hogan, James H. and Ho-Stuart, Chris and Pham, Binh}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/27904b98c8c344c4b037b2fe944715fc3/diego_ma}, booktitle = {Proc.

More and more companies sell their products all over the world and are requested to provide localized product documentation. In this context, controlling --- through creation, translation and maintenance --- the consistency of huge documentation produced in different places, on different tools by people with different skills is a real challenge. Moreover, reducing the effort of document creation and management by help of powerful software tools, will cut down the costs of complex products significantly. Goal of the DOCSTEP project, which is presented here, is the usage and integration of beneficial technologies and standards for product modeling, natural language processing and document management in order to improve the process of product documentation creation and management. The DOCSTEP approach is based on the integration between the product data standard ISO 10303 STEP and the documentation standard ISO 8879 SGML. It is the aim of the DOCSTEP project to develop an Authoring System where documents are based on the generic model of the product, with language independent semantic layer plus integrated tools allowing the end user to access document/product relevant information efficiently.
