Some aspects of the socio-economic consequences of informatization of economic management in agro-industrial complex

Abstract In this paper, the socio-economic aspects of the influence of information and communication technologies on the processes of managing the country’s economy in terms of the agro-industrial complex are considered. A brief retrospective analysis of the phased introduction of computer technology into management processes is presented on the example of practical experience in the implementation of informatization of a large agro-industrial holding in the Kuban. These works were carried out within the framework of the task “Electronics of agriculture” of the Integrated Program of the scientific and Technical Program of the member countries of the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance. At the same time, a systematic interconnection of work was carried out in the areas of informatization in terms of technological processes, organizational and economic management of enterprises, education, the social sphere of the village and agricultural science. It is shown that such a complex nature of informatization turned out to be unrealizable due to serious limitations of the complementary interdependencies of various assets. At the same time, the experience gained made it possible to develop a single digital platform for managing agro-industrial production and can be useful in modern conditions in relation to other sectors of the economy, primarily in terms of the organizational structure of the platform, providing for its scientific and personnel support.

Health Informatics: Utilization of Information Technology in Health Care and Patient Management

Medical informatics uses IT to improve health care and patient management.In the current digital era, medical informatics plays an important role in addressing various challenges in the medical field.This papers discusses the importance of medical informatics for improving the efficiency, accuracy, and overall quality of medical services.A central aspect of medical informatics is the integration of various health care systems within a facility or larger health care network.Effective system integration makes patient data easily accessible to different healthcare providers, facilitating care coordination and reducing the risk of errors in diagnosis and treatment.However, the biggest challenge in this situation is the complexity of system integration, which requires significant effort and investment from various stakeholders. Privacy and data security issues are also significant concerns when implementing medical informatics.As more medical data is stored electronically, it becomes increasingly important to protect patient data from unauthorized access and misuse.Strict policies and technology are required to address these issues and ensure the integrity and confidentiality of patient data.Furthermore, the technology access gap is also a major challenge in the implementation of medical informatics.

Perspectives on the implementation of health informatics curricula frameworks

Background The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the necessity of equipping health professionals with knowledge and skills to effectively use digital technology for healthcare delivery. However, questions persist about the best approach to effectively educate future health professionals for this. A workshop at the 15th Nursing Informatics International Congress explored this issue. Objective To report findings from an international participatory workshop exploring pre-registration informatics implementation experiences. Methods A virtual workshop was held using whole and small group interactive methods aiming to 1) showcase international examples of incorporating health informatics into pre-registration education; 2) highlight essential elements and considerations for integrating health informatics into curricula; 3) identify integration models of health informatics; 4) identify core learning objectives, resources, and faculty capabilities for teaching informatics; and 5) propose curriculum evaluation strategies. The facilitators’ recorded data and written notes were content analysed. Results Fourteen participants represented seven countries and a range of educational experiences. Four themes emerged: 1) Design: scaffolding digital health and technology capabilities; 2) Development: interprofessional experience of and engagement with digital health technology capabilities; 3) implementation strategies; and 4) Evaluation: multifaceted, multi-stakeholder evaluation of curricula. These themes were used to propose an implementation framework. Discussion Workshop findings emphasise global challenges in integrating health informatics into curricula. While course development approaches may appear linear, the learner-centred implementation framework based on workshop findings, advocates for a more cyclical approach. Iterative evaluation involving stakeholders, such as health services, will ensure that health professional education is progressive and innovative. Conclusions The proposed implementation framework serves as a roadmap for successful health informatics implementation into health professional curricula. Prioritising engagement with health services and digital health industry is essential to ensure the relevance of implemented informatics curricula for the future workforce, acknowledging the variability in placement experiences and their influence on informatics exposure, experience, and learning.

Teachers’ perceptions of the barriers and drivers for the integration of Informatics in primary education

A growing trend of integrating and teaching Informatics and Computational Thinking (CT) skills at primary education levels poses different challenges for teachers. Research demonstrates that it is challenging to introduce Informatics in schools without well-prepared teachers. In this paper, we examine Lithuanian teachers' perceptions of the barriers and drivers to integrate the renewed Informatics curricula in primary education and the relation between them. Fifteen semi-structured interviews were conducted with primary school teachers, and a mixed-methods approach was employed to analyze them. The results show that explicit guidelines for renewed curricula and motivation to learn Informatics are both identified as the main barriers and drivers for integrating Informatics. The study further highlights the critical role of resources, appropriate tools, and guidelines in facilitating the successful implementation of Informatics. The study provides knowledge that could, for instance, benefit teacher training programmes and help better understand how teachers can be better supported to meet current and future challenges.

Pollution Reduction, Informatization and Sustainable Urban Development—Evidence from the Smart City Projects in China

China’s modernization endeavors to advance both material and spiritual civilization concomitantly; nevertheless, the nation presently faces a pressing issue of urban pollution. This research examines how the introduction of information technology has affected environmental pollution in Chinese cities. By utilizing a panel dataset consisting of 214 prefecture-level cities in China spanning from 2005 to 2017, we employed a time-varying DID model with smart city pilot projects serving as a quasi-natural experiment to assess the impact of informatization on environmental pollution. The establishment of smart cities has remarkably elevated the information quotient of urban areas. Additionally, the results indicate a significant reduction in pollution levels in urban areas as a result of informatization, which remained robust even after conducting a series of rigorous tests to ensure the reliability of the findings. Mechanism analysis shows that informatization of smart cities affects the environmental governance behavior of enterprises and governments. Consequently, the implementation of informatization in smart cities can effectively alleviate environmental pollution by means of both the technique effect and structure effect. This finding calls for the Chinese government to improve informatization by promoting smart city pilot projects to build sustainable cities.

Design and implementation of informatization for unified management of stroke rehabilitation in urban multi-level hospitals.

With the aging of the population, the prevalence and incidence of stroke in China are increasing every year. China advocates the establishment of a three-level medical service system for stroke rehabilitation, but it lacks uniform information management among all levels of medical institutions. To achieve unified management of stroke patient rehabilitation in multilevel hospitals in the region through informatization construction. The need for informatization of three-level stroke rehabilitation management was analyzed. Then, network connections were established, and a common rehabilitation information management system (RIMS) was developed for all levels of hospitals to enable daily stroke rehabilitation management, inter-hospitals referral, and remote video consultation. Finally, the impact on the efficiency of daily rehabilitation work, the functioning and satisfaction of stroke patients were investigated after implementing the three-level rehabilitation network. One year after implementation, 338 two-way referrals and 56 remote consultations were completed using RIMS. The stroke RIMS improved the efficiency of doctors' orders, reduced therapists' time to write medical documents, simplified statistical analysis of data and made referrals and remote consultations more convenient compared to the traditional model. The curative effect of stroke patients managed by RIMS is better than that of traditional management. Patient satisfaction with rehabilitation services in the region has increased. The three-level stroke rehabilitation informatization has enabled the unified management of stroke rehabilitation in multilevel hospitals in the region. The developed RIMS improved the efficiency of daily work, improved the clinical outcomes of stroke patients, and increased patient satisfaction.

Building health service management workforce capacity in the era of health informatics and digital health – A scoping review

IntroductionHealth informatics and digital health, two rapidly growing disciplines, are becoming increasingly important to the sustainability of health service provision, highlighted especially through the COVID-19 pandemic. To maximise the benefits of the adoption and growth of health informatics and digital health, health service managers play a critical role in leading and managing the implementation and transformation of the system, both strategically and operationally, whilst still needing to manage ‘business as usual’. ObjectivesThe objectives of the paper are to present and discuss the findings from a scoping review identifying: 1) competencies required for health service managers leading the implementation and transformation of informatics and digital technology in the health sector; and 2) factors that are critical to building the management workforce capacity in the era of health informatics and digital health. MethodsA scoping review of the literature was conducted in 2020 focussing on identifying empirical articles published in the English language since the year 2000 using a number of keywords such as ‘health informatics’, ‘digital health’, ‘electronic health’, ‘competencies’, ‘capability’, ‘proficiency’, ‘qualification’, ‘certification’, ‘health manager’, ‘health executive’ and ‘health administrator’. The literature search was guided by a PRISMA approach searching within eight databases: Scopus, ProQuest, Web of Science, ACM Digital Library, CINAHL, PubMed, Google Scholar and ProQuest Dissertations. ResultsAfter duplicates were removed, 941 publications were included for title screening as the result of an initial review. Title screening selected 185 articles to be included for abstract screening by two reviewers confirming 19 papers relevant to the focus of the current paper which were included in data extraction and content analysis. The analysis identified the additional competency of ‘information and data management’ be included as a core competency for health service managers. The analysis also confirmed additional elements for the following four core management competencies that are important to health service managers working in the digital health context, including: 1) leadership; 2) operational and resource management; 3) personal, interpersonal and professional qualities, and 4) understanding the industry and environment. Factors that are critical to developing the system and organization capacity in the use of health informatics and digital health technology, and leading and managing the adoption in the healthcare organizations were identified in three categories: 1) policy/system; 2) organizational structure and processes; and 3) people factors. ConclusionsThis paper has taken an important step in confirming the competency requirements for health services managers that are relevant to leading and managing in the health informatics and digital health space, consequently indicating the directions for developing a competent workforce in meeting the existing and emerging healthcare delivery challenges, both now and in the future.

The repository integrates data from primary and curated data sources and is updated weekly. The data are made readily available to investigators in a data portal where they can easily construct and export customized datasets for analysis.ResultsAs of July 2021, there are 125 645 consented patients enrolled in the MGB Biobank. 88 527 (70.5%) have a biospecimen, 55 121 (43.9%) have completed the health information survey, 43 552 (34.7%) have genomic data and 124 760 (99.3%) have EHR data. Twenty machine learning computed phenotypes are calculated on a weekly basis. There are currently 1220 active investigators who have run 58 793 patient queries and exported 10 257 analysis files.DiscussionThe Biobank Portal allows noninformatics researchers to conduct study feasibility by querying across many data sources and then extract data that are most useful to them for clinical studies. While institutions require substantial informatics resources to establish and maintain integrated data repositories, they yield significant research value to a wide range of investigators.ConclusionThe Biobank Portal and other patient data portals that integrate complex and simple datasets enable diverse research use cases. i2b2 tools to implement these registries and make the data interoperable are open source and freely available.

The Importance of Contextual Understanding in Solving the Last Mile Problem.

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted many global industries and shifted the digital health landscape by stimulating and accelerating the delivery of digital care. It has emphasized the need for a system level informatics implementation that supports the healthcare management of populations at a macro level while also providing the necessary support for front line care delivery at a micro level. From data dashboard to Telemedicine, this crisis has necessitated the need for health informatics transformation that can bridge time and space to provide timely care. However, heath transformation cannot solely rely on Health Information Technology (HIT) for progress, but rather success must be an outcome of system design focus on the contextual complexity of the health system where HIT is used. This conference highlights the important roles context plays for health informatics in global pandemics and aims to answer critical questions in four main areas: 1) health information management in the covid-19 context, 2) implementation of new practices and technologies in healthcare, 3) sociotechnical analysis of task performance and workload in healthcare, and 4) innovations in design and evaluation methods of health technologies. We deem this as a call to action to understand the importance of context while solving the last mile problem in delivering the informatics solutions that are needed to support our public health response.

The development of China's fishery informatization and its impact on fishery economic efficiency

Informatization is the dynamic development process of using information technology to promote information exchange and knowledge sharing in all aspects of social life, which is crucial for the development of fisheries. Based on a review of the development process and the current informatization situation for China’s fisheries, this study selects relevant data on 28 Chinese provinces from 2006 to 2018 and uses the improved entropy method and the DEA-Malmquist index method to calculate the informatization implementation level and economic efficiency of the fisheries in each province, then the panel VAR model is used to test the dynamic impact of informatization on fisheries’ economic efficiencies. The results show that fishery informatization has a long-term significant positive effect on fishery economic efficiency, and this effect gradually increases over a short period and then tends to remain stable in the long term.

Impact of Radiology Information System on CT Scan Reporting Time

The medical sector values time when it determines life in its totality. Any waste of time, especially in critical conditions, compromises patients and puts lives at stake. From a diagnosis and treatment perspective, efficient use of time determines the success of procedures. Whether it be the inclusion of computing technologies or it be the implementation of informatics, the benefits of medical technology have been tremendous to the healthcare sector. This research has looked at the impact of the Radiology Information System (RIS) on CT reporting time in the King Khalid Hospital (KKH) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The approach of the study has been quasi-experimental, using the power calculation of a pair of 381 CT scan reports of 40,000 after which the data was collected and analyzed by using SPSS to deduce the impact that RIS has on CT reporting time. The comparison of CT reporting time is done between two distinct timeframes Pre- and Post-installation of RIS. The patients in the current study were organized into three primary categories: emergency patients, inpatients, and outpatients. The results show that the turnaround time was impacted positively with the incorporation of RIS and related technologies in CT scan patients. The outpatient department saw the most improvement among the three categories indicating the highest average percentage of reduction in Turnaround Time. Thus, it was concluded that the RIS has an overall positive impact on CT reporting time.

Information and communication technologies as resources of inclusive education

Informatization is one of the stages in the development of modern society. This process is characterized by the increasing role of education in all spheres of human activity and the increasing importance of artificial intelligence and communications. One of the key areas of informatization is the addition of education to new theories and practices that are aimed at using advanced information technologies for the purpose of teaching and teaching the modern generation. Information and communication technologies (ICT) are a form of informatization. On the other hand, now they are actively being introduced into the educational process as teaching aids. The successful implementation of informatization is largely determined by the human and material potential of educational institutions and the degree of teacher training. The process of introducing ICT into practice is chaotic, but today there is a pattern in it, and researchers around the world find and explore it.

Taxonomy and Systematics in Biodiversity Informatics: Lessons learned from ichthyology and general perspectives

Although still strongly intertwined, taxonomy and systematics are diverging more and more in their paradigms, methods, and agendas: it is not possible to consider them as synonyms anymore. While taxonomy remains an analytical science based on abductive reasoning (trying to find the historical pathways leading to present species delineations), systematics diverged as an information science since the rise of computers: summarizing, organising, and exposing taxonomical, biological, and ecological data, information, and knowledge in the most efficient ways, with respect to various targeted audiences. One could even consider synonymising biodiversity informatics with systematics instead! Schematically, this led to two different types of information systems: one dedicated to pure taxonomic and nomenclatural data; one oriented to record life-traits. Obviously, the latter must be built along reliable taxonomic backbones, therefore the former should have been built before the latter. It did not happen as exemplified in fishes by the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) Fisheries Global Information System (FIGIS) and related, Catalog of Fishes, and FishBase, and later the databases of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS), or for aggregators with Catalogue of Life and e.g., GBIF, Encyclopedia of Life. This has created some confusion for end users, “which system should I use” being their regular question with the invariable answer, “it depends”. In the absence of a formal preexisting taxonomic information system, each biodiversity information system has developed its own way to manage its taxonomic backbone with more or less impact of taxonomists. For fishes, we are not far from reconciling the various systems, and data to knowledge flows are becoming clearer, but it is not without unnecessary extra work. A real breakthrough is necessary to move from a collaboration stage to a cooperative stage, where systems are interconnected (not necessarily integrated) in such a way that the same taxonomic work is not repeated over and over to synchronise the systems. The difficulty is that taxonomic information systems must be designed for the needs of taxonomists, while their resulting classifications and the way they are exposed must fit the needs of systematics/biodiversity systems purposes, and by extension of the rest of scientific domains and the society in general. Conditions for this breakthrough to happen are discussed. The breakthrough does not reside in only one action but rather is the result of multiple simultaneous advances in the theory of taxonomy, its (mathematical?) formalization and informatics implementation, technology (although progress in that domain may be well in advance over others), data entry, networking, and sociology of science. The "potential taxon" concept (Berendsohn 1995) led to important theoretical progresses but its actual implementation lags behind in many systems, due probably to the huge effort of data entry it requires. Data entry is certainly a part that was neglected at the beginning of biodiversity informatics, because it has to be sustained endlessly, while the development of new systems was seen as more rewarding in time-limited frameworks. This has been corrected at least for occurrences and specimens, with the development of national and international digitization programs. Besides, the development of the Biodiversity Heritage Library and text extraction technologies is quite promising for taxon information. As in all complex situations with many interacting dimensions (e.g., fisheries management in ichthyology), progress must be balanced among all dimensions to have effective results for the overall domain. Among others, issues in sociology of sciences, for instance, must be addressed to make significant progresses. In particular the way data, information and knowledge are published, and jobs delineated and careers evaluated, must still be seriously reviewed in the light of information system development.
