There is a clear and present need to improve the quality of diabetes care. Information technology can be used as a means to that end. In this article, we discuss the design and implementation of a web-based diabetes application. We show the role of modeling clinical workflow in the design philosophy of our application, and summarize our application's features and usage. Next, we describe observations made during and after design and implementation, and how they relate to the informatics literature. Finally, we elaborate on the paradigm of feedback control systems, its parallels with the design philosophy of our application, and its use as an organizational framework for the roles of information technology in diabetes care.

Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is the most costly disease of cattle in US feedyards and diagnosis based on clinical signs of illness is challenging. Over the course of five independent studies we evaluated the precision of multiple observers assigning clinical illness scores (CIS) to calves with induced Mycoplasma bovis pneumonia. We also evaluated the accuracy of CIS in relation to lung lesions at necropsy. Agreement among observers over all five studies was slight ({kappa]= 0.16; 95% confidence interval, 0.10 to 0.24) and ranged from 0.10 to 0.21 for individual trials. The accuracy of CIS varied based on the pulmonary consolidation score chosen to represent a truly ill animal. Inflammation associated with BRD can lead to significant pulmonary damage and reduced lung function. Treatment for BRD frequently involves antimicrobial administration and occasionally non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. We evaluated how calves experimentally challenged with Mannheimia haemolytica respond to treatment with flunixin meglumine, alone or in combination with the antimicrobial florfenicol. Individual calf response to bacterial pneumonia was highly variable in this study. None of the changes in serum biomarkers, CBC or chemistry parameters provided reliable indicators of the pulmonary inflammation associated with the mild severity of bronchopneumonia in our study. Metaphylaxis is frequently administered to manage the risk of BRD within cohorts of cattle. We evaluated the impact of metaphylactic antimicrobial administration 10 days prior to experimental Mannheimia haemolytica inoculation to mitigate pulmonary lesions. We found that calves receiving tildipirosin had less lung damage and fewer clinical signs of illness compared to calves treated with tulathromycin or saline. Finally, the ability to predict those animals that would not finish the production cycle normally would provide benefits in effectively managing cattle. We evaluated the ability of classification algorithms to accurately predict an individual calf’s outcome based on data available at first identification of and treatment for BRD. We found accuracy of classifiers was dependent on the data recorded by the feedyard and there are sub-groups of calves within feedyard populations where classifiers were highly accurate. These data suggest the importance of pairing the proper classifier with the data available.

Full textAs doenças respiratórias são uma das razões mais frequentes para consultas médicas e uma das causas de morte mais frequentes a nível mundial, representando gastos de vários milhões de euros. A frequência e grau de severidade de ocorrência de tosse é um dos principais indicadores a analisar, por ser este o sintoma mais frequente em grande parte destas doenças respiratórias e por ser também um bom indicador da evolução do estado do paciente. Dada a importância deste sintoma, foi desenvolvido o Leicester Cough Monitor, uma aplicação que permite obter, de forma automática e não invasiva, dados quantitativos fiáveis relativos à frequência de ocorrência de tosse. Contudo, essa aplicação funciona apenas em modo local, tendo esta de estar instalada no computador onde se deseje realizar o estudo não havendo qualquer tipo de ligação e comunicação entre mais que um computador. Dado este facto, não é possível manter de forma eficiente um sincronismo de informação e de estudos realizados em mais que um computador ou em diferentes centros. O trabalho descrito nesta dissertação teve como objectivo fundamental desenvolver uma plataforma Web que, através da integração da ferramenta LCM já existente, permita a realização de estudos sobre a evolução dos sintomas de tosse de vários pacientes. Foi então desenvolvida uma plataforma que permite ter informação organizada, sincronizada e reunida num único ponto estando esta acessível de qualquer local com acesso à Internet. A disponibilização das várias funcionalidades da ferramenta LCM numa vertente Web foi o foco principal, sendo que novas funcionalidades foram criadas de modo a permitir de uma forma organizada e controlada a gestão de toda a informação com a implementação de um sistema de gestão de utilizadores.
Respiratory diseases are one of the most frequent reasons for medical appointments and one of the main causes of death worldwide, accounting costs of several millions of Euros. The frequency and severity of occurrence of cough is one of the most important indicators, being the most frequent symptom in many of these diseases and also a good indicator of the evolution of the patient’s disease state. Given the importance of this symptom, the Leicester Cough Monitor, an application that allows obtaining, in an automatic and noninvasively way, reliable quantitative data on the frequency of occurrence of cough, was developed. However, this application only works locally, requiring that it is installed on the computer where we want to perform the study with no other kind of connection and communication between more than one computer. Given this fact, it is not possible to efficiently maintain synchronism of information and studies on more than one computer or between different centers. The work described in this dissertation had as fundamental goal the development of a Web platform that, through the integration of the existing LCM tool, enables studies of the evolution of patients with various symptoms of cough. Thus, a platform was developed that allows having information organized, synchronized and collected at a single point being this accessible from any location with Internet access. The availability of the various functionalities of the LCM tool on a Web context was the main focus, and new features were created to allow an organized and controlled management of all information with the implementation of a user management system.

Chronic disease is the most important cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, but the current standard of care is woefully ineffective. It is paternalistic, episodic, and perversely incentivized based on volume, resulting in poor outcomes at extraordinary cost. Technology-supported apprenticeship is a model of chronic disease management that embraces the contribution of the patient. It is collaborative, continuous, and designed to achieve value through improvement in the experience, clinical outcomes, and cost of care. In this model, patients are the novice apprentices of master clinicians. A software platform called CollaboRhythm provides applications on mobile phones and tablets as scaffolding for collaboration. Tracking tools document progress, visualizations highlight associations between actions and outcomes, and personalized decision support encourages self-efficacy. Powerful virtual visits and instant messaging allow master clinicians to provide adaptive coaching within the context of daily life rather than in the artificial environment of the office. Apprentice patients have the potential to become master coaches themselves; thus producing an exponentially scaling health ecosystem at minimal cost. Two randomized, controlled trials were conducted to evaluate if technology-supported apprenticeship could augment the "best of the best" in office-based care and scale it via virtual deployment. Apprentice patients for basal insulin titration at the Joslin Diabetes Center were more satisfied with their care than controls, achieved better outcomes (-3.1% vs. -2.5% HbA1C), and did so with minimal increase in cost ($206). Those for hypertension management at the Massachusetts General Hospital were also more satisfied with their care, achieved better outcomes (-26.3 vs. -15.9 mmHg SBP), and did so with negligible increase in cost ($14). Over a longer period of time, apprenticeship is projected to produce better outcomes at decreased cost. Technology-supported apprenticeship has extraordinary potential, but the paternalistic culture of medicine and its volume-based economic model present significant impediments. Future work needs to address longer durations of coaching, greater numbers of apprentices per coach, patients as coaches, other chronic diseases, and patients with comorbidities.

Full textIndigenous health is one of the most pressing issues confronting contemporary Australian society. In recent years government officials, medical practitioners, and media commentators have repeatedly drawn attention to the vast discrepancies in health outcomes between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. However a comprehensive discussion of Aboriginal health is often hampered by a lack of historical analysis. Accordingly this thesis is a historical response to the current Aboriginal health crisis and examines the impact of colonisation on Aboriginal bodies in Queensland during the early to mid twentieth century. Drawing upon a wide range of archival sources, including government correspondence, medical records, personal diaries and letters, maps and photographs, I examine how the exclusion of Aboriginal people from white society contributed to the creation of racially segregated medical institutions. I examine four such government-run institutions, which catered for Aboriginal health and disease during the period 1900-1970. The four institutions I examine – Barambah Aboriginal Settlement, Peel Island Lazaret, Fantome Island lock hospital and Fantome Island leprosarium – constituted the essence of the Queensland Government’s Aboriginal health policies throughout this time period. The Queensland Government’s health policies and procedures signified more than a benevolent interest in Aboriginal health, and were linked with Aboriginal (racial) management strategies. Popular perceptions of Aborigines as immoral and diseased directly affected the nature and focus of government health services to Aboriginal people. In particular the Chief Protector of Aboriginals Office’s uneven allocation of resources to medical segregation facilities and disease controls, at the expense of other more pressing health issues, specifically nutrition, sanitation, and maternal and child health, materially contributed to Aboriginal ill health. This thesis explores the purpose and rationales, which informed the provision of health services to Aboriginal people. The Queensland Government officials responsible for Aboriginal health, unlike the medical authorities involved in the management of white health, did not labour under the task of ensuring the liberty of their subjects but rather were empowered to employ coercive technologies long since abandoned in the wider medical culture. This particularly evident in the Queensland Government’s unwillingness to relinquish or lessen its control over diseased Aboriginal bodies and the continuation of its Aboriginal-only medical isolation facilities in the second half of the twentieth century. At a time when medical professionals and government officials throughout Australia were almost universally renouncing institutional medical solutions in favour of more community-based approaches to ill health and diseases, the Queensland Government was pushing for the creation of new, and the continuation of existing, medical segregation facilities for Aboriginal patients. In Queensland the management of health involved inherently spatialised and racialised practices. However spaces of Aboriginal segregation did not arise out of an uncomplicated or consistent rationale of racial segregation. Rather the micro-histories of Fantome Island leprosarium, Peel Island Lazaret, Fantome Island lock hospital and Barambah Aboriginal Settlement demonstrate that competing logics of disease quarantine, reform, punishment and race management all influenced the ways in which the Government chose to categorise, situate and manage Aboriginal people (their bodies, health and diseases). Evidence that the enterprise of public health was, and still is, closely aligned with the governance of populations.
