これからの医療における医療情報学の役割

Medical information has been digitally formatted and it has been properly stored and managed by a computer system with the progress of information communication technology (ICT). Hospital information systems and regional medical liaison systems can be cited as the main components of the system, and the clinical task of the medical informatics department is the construction, management and operation of these systems. Recently, medical real world data (RWD) accumulated in these systems is focused not only as a primary use but also as a secondary use of medical information. However, there are many problems such as standardization, collection, cleaning, and analysis of medical information. Internet of things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) are applied to the collection and analysis of RWD, and help to resolve the above problems. Using these new technologies expected further progress in the future, medical care is about to reach a new era.
