There is a widespread consensus that we have an urgent need to improve our workforce capacity in all aspects associated with the skills and knowledge required for successful e-health and health informatics developments, associated change management and systems implementation strategies. Such activities aim to support various health reform policy initiatives. This paper considers the work being undertaken by many researchers around the globe to define the range of skills and knowledge requirements to suit this purpose. A number of requirements and areas of specialisation are detailed. This is followed by descriptions for competencies in general and more specifically descriptions of a set of high level agreed Health Informatics competencies. Collectively these competencies provide a suitable framework useful for the formal recognition of Health Informatics, including e-health, as a nationally recognised study discipline. Nationally agreed competencies for this discipline enables all education and training efforts to be consistently implemented and to fit with the Australian Qualifications Framework covering both the Vocational Education and Training (VET) and Higher Education sectors.

The Case for Aggregated Rehabilitation-Relevant Data across Health Care Systems and Settings.
Phys Ther

Department of Physical Therapy, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, NV 89154, United States.
Health care value, quantified as outcome per unit cost, requires knowing which outcomes are influenced by which intervention at what cost. The value of rehabilitation is still largely unknown. Much of the reason for this limited evidence is historically poor standardization and collection of rehabilitation interventions, and objectively measured outcomes across care settings, care providers, and health care systems.

Diatoms are prominent microalgae found in all aquatic environments. Over the last 20 years, thanks to the availability of genomic and genetic resources, diatom species such as Phaeodactylum tricornutum and Thalassiosira pseudonana have emerged as valuable experimental model systems for exploring topics ranging from evolution to cell biology, (eco)physiology, and biotechnology. Since the first genome sequencing projects initiated more than 20 years ago, numerous genome-enabled datasets have been generated, based on RNA-Seq and proteomics experiments, epigenomes, and ecotype variant analysis.

Health Qual Life Outcomes
March 2025
Division of Neonatology, Center for Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine, University Medical Center of the Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz, Mainz, Germany.
Background: Health-related quality of life is an important measure of patient-reported outcomes. There is limited evidence on how parental health-related quality of life develops after neonatal hospitalization.
Objective: To evaluate parents' health-related quality of life (HRQL) during the year following their infant's treatment in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
Cost-effectiveness of novel diagnostic tools for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis in the United States.
BMC Health Serv Res
March 2025
Department of Health Management and Policy, School of Public Health, University of Michigan, 1420 Washington Heights, Ann Arbor, MI, 48109-2013, USA.
Objectives: Novel non-invasive machine learning algorithms may improve accuracy and reduce the need for biopsy when diagnosing idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). We conducted a cost-effectiveness analysis of diagnostic strategies for IPF.
Methods: We developed a decision analytic model to evaluate diagnostic strategies for IPF in the United States.
Capturing sexual orientation and gender identity information in electronic medical records to inform the person-centred care of sexual and gender minority people.
BMC Public Health
March 2025
EMR Team, The Royal Melbourne Hospital, Parkville, VIC, Australia.
Background: The healthcare disparities of sexual and gender minority (SGM) people are globally recognised. Research from the United States has advocated for sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) information capture via the electronic medical record (EMR) to support the generation of knowledge regarding SGM people's healthcare needs and the appropriate care for this population. In November 2022, The Royal Melbourne Hospital (RMH) enabled the SOGI capture EMR functionality.
