Introduction

On this opportunity, I’ll be reviewing an article by Michael Rigby, Jari Forsstrom, Ruth Robert, Jeremy Wyatt, the title of this article is “ Verifying quality and safety in healty informatics services”, was published by BMJ 2001, this article include four point : Introduction, Discussion, and conclusion.

Summary

This article Discuss about a informatics system are increasingly essential in the delivery of healty care then their integrity and quality must be of equal importance. But this has been scarcely recognised to date. As we know the most important unregulated healtycare resource in sharp contrast to drugs, medical devices and licensed. When error and failure happened it has generally been in the interest of suppliers then allows for unidentified and thus unquantified errors to be dispersed with the potential risk to patient healty

This was accepted by the European commission, the title of this like CE marking of electrical goods is recommended for software, national regulatory bodies should be identified for telemedicine and a European certification of integrity scheme developed for website.

This project decide and make a classification about healty informatics services and identifying risk that appropriate control methode can be identified, after that them sought to quantify the risks attributable to informatics service and degree about it, there’s many problem when using clinical software but are have resolved by definition as has the adverse outcome of software upgrades producing erroneous printed interpretations of previously recorded diagnostic data.

The Telemedicine presents an different situation because telecommunications based that cross legislative boundaries are almost free. A global regulatory framework is also important. There are clear and effective global conventions and supervisory organisation for both civil aviation and food standars.

Evaluation

The Author’s emphasize in this article is about health care is more important then other, them have many evaluation of this project, to make it solve.

Critical Analysis

I agree with the author’s idea in this article about “Verifying quality and safety in healty informatics services” these risks will increase rapidly as health informatics services expand and as telecommunications and globalisation radically change attitudes to and delivery of healty care.

Conclusion

A final project of this Article “Verifying quality and safety in healty informatics services” are invaluable to aid healty care. And this project shown that public safety and professional integrity are threatened by the lack of regulation of healty informatics system. A final role is that of educator and trained. Social work prsctitioers must be trained on the use of theseemerging technologies and on their possible benefits to practice setting. Sosial informaticians can assist in training current pracyitioners and can use new tools to do, because the distance education courses have gained momentum and as a result, although distance education has increased the use of a variety of technological tool in social work education.
