In this session, we will explore three informatics goals, asset tracking, building a virtual device community and transforming reams of data into meaningful and actionable information. Then we will address the challenges inherent in achieving these goals. These include building a connectivity envelope around the patient, associating bedside devices and data with the patient, addressing synchronization of time and terminology and applying interoperability between devices, systems and middleware. Finally, we will conclude by looking at the dark side of dark data.
At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to:
1) Understand asset tracking, virtual device communities and transforming data.
2) Appreciate the challenges inherent in designing and interacting with an ICU “loaded” with advanced informatics systems and solutions.
