The specifics of healthcare informatization in Canada as a precondition for its formation are analyzed. At its initial stages, the computer technology was implemented into the provincial and territorial healthcare institutions slowly and unevenly. The computerization policy was decentralized, and this did not promote an effective medical information exchange. Thus, at the beginning of the 2000s, Canada set course for the centralized healthcare informatization. It required a qualified workforce and became a catalyst for the development of professional training in health informatics in Canada.A retrospective analysis of the professional training in health informatics development in Canada is conducted. The research reveals that in its development professional training in health informatics has gone through the pre-institutional phase (the 1960s – 1980), which laid the basis for the appearance and further development of professional training in health informatics, and the institutional phase (1981 – till present time), when it began to be implemented into the Canadian higher educational institutions. The characteristic features of the institutional phase include the rise of health informatics as an academic speciality; the conceptualization of professional training in health informatics; the rapid increase in the number of health informatics professional programs in the mid 2000s; the unification of methodological, scientific framework for training health informatics professionals.The current state of the professional training in health informatics in Canada is studied. It is concluded that the Canadian system of the health informatics professional training is built on the principles of degree education and life-long learning. The educational process is organized in such a way that future health informatics professionals can receive a credential at different levels of the higher education, in particular a health informatics diploma or certificate in the non-degree granting institutions and Bachelor’s, Master’s and PhD degrees at universities. The analysis of the professional training content in health informatics enables to state that its development depends on the level of the higher education and is characterized by various combinations of academic disciplines in the health informatics curriculum within three knowledge domains – information sciences, health sciences, and management.Acknowledgments.

This is an open access article under the CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/). Мета статті – висвітлити історію розвитку та сучасний стан підготовки фахівців з медичної інформатики у Канаді. Проаналізовано особливості інформатизації системи охорони здоров’я цієї країни як передумови її становлення. З’ясовано, що на початкових етапах комп’ютерна техніка повільно й нерівномірно проникала у заклади охорони здоров’я канадських провінцій та територій. Політика комп’ютеризації була децентралізованою, що не сприяло ефективному обміну медичною інформацією. Тому на початку 2000-х рр. у Канаді інформатизація системи охорони здоров’я набула централізованого характеру. Це вимагало якісного кадрового забезпечення і стало каталізатором підготовки фахівців з медичної інформатики.Проведено ретроспективний аналіз означеної проблеми. Встановлено, що її історія сягає 60-х років ХХ ст. Виокремлено дві фази підготовки фахівців з медичної інформатики: доінституційну (1960‒1980) як основа виникнення та становлення професійної освіти фахівців з даної галузі; інституційна (1981 ‒ дотепер), яка сприяла підготовці фахівців з медичної інформатики у закладах вищої освіти Канади. Характерними ознаками інституційної фази є зародження медичної інформатики як спеціальності; формування освітніх концепцій розвитку й узгодження типової програми з медичної інформатики; стрімкий розвиток професійної освіти фахівців з медичної інформатики у середині 2000-х рр.; уніфікація її науково-методичного забезпечення.Зроблено висновок, що вона  побудована на принципах багаторівневості й неперервності. Освітній процес організований так, що майбутні фахівці з медичної інформатики можуть здобувати кваліфікацію на усіх рівнях вищої освіти, зокрема диплом чи сертифікат у закладах неступеневої освіти, а також ступені бакалавра, магістра та доктора філософії – в університетах. Аналіз змісту професійної підготовки фахівців з медичної інформатики у Канаді дає підстави стверджувати, що його формування залежить від рівня вищої освіти і характеризується різною комбінацією та кількістю навчальних дисциплін у межах трьох галузей знань – інформаційних наук, медицини та менеджменту

Disease Surveillance Networks Initiative Global: Final Evaluation

In August 2009, the Rockefeller Foundation commissioned an independent external evaluation of the Disease Surveillance Networks (DSN) Initiative in Asia, Africa, and globally. This report covers the results of the global component of the summative and prospective1 evaluation, which had the following objectives:[1] Assessment of performance of the DSN Initiative, focused on its relevance, effectiveness/impact, and efficiency within the context of the Foundation's initiative support.[2] Assessment of the DSN Initiative's underlying hypothesis: robust trans-boundary, multi-sectoral/cross-disciplinary collaborative networks lead to improved disease surveillance and response.[3] Assessment of the quality of Foundation management (value for money) for the DSN Initiative.[4] Contribute to the field of philanthropy by:a. Demonstrating the use of evaluations in grantmaking, learning and knowledge management; andb. Informing the field of development evaluation about methods and models to measure complex networks

The Need for the Establishment of E-records and eHealth Legislation and Policy Framework in the Health Sector in Zimbabwe

Legislation is key to the establishment of eHealth initiatives. Without legislation, authority is not set and the privacy, confidentiality and other threats affecting records and information in electronic platforms are compromised. It is therefore key that legislation for eHealth and e-records be established. Zimbabwe is applying eHealth initiatives in the form of an electronic National Health Information System (NHIS) and other initiatives. However, worrying is the fact that Zimbabwe has not paid attention to the development of legislation and policies for eHealth and e-records management in general. This study sought to make a case for the establishment of e-records and eHealth legislation in order to smoothen the implementation of eHealth systems in the health sector. The study applied a literature review research as literature on eHealth, e-records management and e-health information management was reviewed. The study found that there was no e-records and eHealth legislation in Zimbabwe. The study, thus, recommended the need to enact e-records and eHealth legislation

Improving the Use of Electronic Medical Records in Primary Health Care: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Electronic Medical Records were first introduced in the 1970s to organize patient information, improve coordination of care, and improve communication. The purpose of this systematic review was to identify interventions aimed at improving EMR use in primary health care settings. Of 2,098 identified studies twelve were included in the review. Results showed that interventions focused on the use of EMR functions were five times more likely to show improvements in EMR use compared to controls. Interventions focused on data quality were five and a half times more likely to show improvements in EMR use compared to controls. Individuals in primary health care settings aiming to improve EMR use would benefit from implementing interventions focused on EMR feature add-ons, and provisions of educational materials, or financial incentives targeted at improving the use of EMR functions and data quality

Multi crteria decision making and its applications : a literature review

This paper presents current techniques used in Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) and their applications. Two basic approaches for MCDM, namely Artificial Intelligence MCDM (AIMCDM) and Classical MCDM (CMCDM) are discussed and investigated. Recent articles from international journals related to MCDM are collected and analyzed to find which approach is more common than the other in MCDM. Also, which area these techniques are applied to. Those articles are appearing in journals for the year 2008 only. This paper provides evidence that currently, both AIMCDM and CMCDM are equally common in MCDM
