Abstract:
Developing the medicine in our days is not possible
without clinical informatics and biomedical informatics.
Biomedical informatics and its development is connected
with computer science, medicine, biomedicine, public
health and is more and more a practical discipline which
need a permanently evaluation of ethical standards.
Bioethics is, in this context, a powerful tool for
evaluating the impact of biomedical informatics in
health care activities and is connected with medical
student education.
Understanding and studying the medicine using a
biomedical informatics way could be also a modality to
replace traditional instruction based by dissection and
patients. Biomedical informatics programme could also
avoid experimenting skills on the patients or use
autoexperiment before having enough abilities to do
that.
Biomedical informatics is a modality to improve health
care, to develop public health policy and, in the same
time to assure a support for medical and nursing student
education. Clinical decision support assured by
biomedical informatics is also an area of research and
education.
The challenge is to integrate different fields of
biomedical informatics in medical, pharmaceutical or
nursing education, even if it is graduate or
post-graduate programme.
Biomedical informatics specialists are involved more and
more in health system in management, administration,
security or medical decision.
Biomedical informatics specialist in our days could be
medical doctors, nurses, computer specialists,
biomedical engineers or medical librarians. Also,
pharmacists, or pharmaceutical representatives, academic
researchers or educators and students are interested and
involved in biomedical informatics activities.
They could be structured on 3 levels of interest and
competencies: academic (educators and researchers
designates for evaluate and develop special software),
applicative (for managers, information officers or
persons designated for adapt special software for
medical practice) and applicants of biomedical
informatics programme in their daily professional
activities.
According to this, bioethics is a practical discipline
which must integrate the moral rules in the society's
development and could assure high standards for
respecting the human being rights and individuality.
