In this week's class, I first got the opportunity to meet our chair Dr. Robert in class, and his lecture about research method in BMI gave me a general idea about the particularity of BMI research, especially its application orientated particularity greatly interesting me. With the President Obama's proposal on innovation in health care field, I believe there is must tons of opportunity and application, such as tele-medicine, EHR, home personal care system, which will all provide great research opportunities for our future BMI professionals.
On the second class in ontology in medicine, Dr. Fridsma’s lecture introduced clearly what is the ontology in medicine, the structure of different level of language and vacabulary used in clinical practices, and the particularity and difference of different ontology systems defined and used in current health care field. For me, I first heard about the word 'ontology ' in the last year's AIMI conference, where a lot of discussions were around how to set up the uniformed ontology system in nationality. Now, from Dr.Fridsma's introduction, I reallly understand the great significance of setting and implementation of a standard ontology in medicine, which is close related to the wildly application of EHR in health care system.
At last, i am sorry for the late posting, because I just come back from Salt lake in labor day. I get to start the new week of studying, and also need to get used to the hot weather.
