medical computing

medical computing

The application of computers to clinical and administrative medicine. Software expert systems have been written that enable a computer to take a more detailed and accurate medical history than is possible with the time available to the average doctor. It has been found that patients will often communicate more freely with a computer than with a doctor. Computer programs now make a better job of interpreting electrocardiograms than most doctors. Expert diagnostic systems that learn by experience are beginning to rival the best doctors in accuracy. They also provide considerable help in selecting appropriate drugs and dosage. Computers have a major role to play in a wide range of medical administrative tasks. See also TELEMEDICINE.

The creation by the US National Institutes of Health of PubMed Central, which aims to put online all new biomedical research, has provoked a critical reaction from the New England Journal of Medicine, which has argued that this would not be in the public interest (Blume, 2000: 1), yet open source (that is, a source code available to the general public for use and/or modification from its original design free of charge), biomedical journals, such as Biology or The Journal of Free and Open Source Medical Computing (JFOSMC), are now well accepted as being within the public interest.
