The Service of Medical Informatics made up
of a multidisciplinary team including physicians, nurses, computer
specialists, a support team, and researchers.
It is directed by Professor Antoine Geissbühler
and is organized in 5 units :
|
|
|
the Clinical Information Unit, directed by Professor Christian
Lovis
, develops and deploys the applications allowing to doctors and the
nurses efficient access to the information about their patients and
to expert systems for the optimal clinical decision-making; |
 |
the Digital Imaging Unit, directed by Doctor David Bandon
, is in charge of the development of the infrastructure and the tools
for the management and transmission of medical images, provinding
care providers with the best possible images to assist them in their
diagnostic and therapeutic activities; |
|
|
the medical coding unit, directed by Doctor François
Borst , MD ,
is in charge of the professional coding of medical records, of the
production of official medical statistics, and supports information
retrieval from clinical data warehouses for care production quality
control and for clinical research. |
 |
the
Build, Integration, Test &Support group organise the processes which lead to the deployment of software
for use by the physician and other healthcare professionals in the
institution. Those processes are often described as compulsory for
a quality enforcement policy, which includes risks management. The
implementation tests and certification processes is therefore the
main task of the group which uses modern tools (sometimes developped
in house) and domain experts to fullfill its mission. User training
and follow up is also among the groups roles;
|
 |
the Liaison Group gathers various competences aiming at bridging
the activities of the Division with other domains, in particular in
telemedicine, biostatistics, bioinformatics, and knowledge engineering. |
