Summary
This review highlights 2018 research in Health Information Management (HIM) and Health Informatics, focusing on artificial intelligence (AI) applications like de-identification and automated coding. It calls for greater collaboration between HIM practitioners and AI researchers.
Area of Science:
- Health Informatics
- Health Information Management
- Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare
Background:
- The International Medical Informatics Association (IMIA) Yearbook's 2019 edition focused on artificial intelligence (AI).
- Identifying key research in Health Information Management (HIM) and Health Informatics is crucial for advancing the field.
Purpose of the Study:
- To summarize and select the best 2018 publications in Health Information Management (HIM) and Health Informatics.
- To highlight papers relevant to the special theme of AI in healthcare.
Main Methods:
- A systematic literature review was conducted by HIM section editors of the IMIA Yearbook.
- Searched bibliographic databases for HIM-related papers with an AI focus using MeSH descriptors and keywords.
- A shortlist of 15 papers was peer-reviewed by external reviewers.
Main Results:
- Few papers had explicit HIM MeSH headings, despite relevance to HIM practice.
- Identified AI applications in HIM include machine learning for de-identification, automated coding, and natural language processing for data extraction.
- Selected papers focused on AI's role in identifying protected health information, translating free-text to codes, and populating registries.
Conclusions:
- Selected papers demonstrate AI's relevance to HIM, particularly in areas like de-identification and automated coding.
- Recommends increased involvement of HIM practitioners in research.
- Encourages AI researchers to recognize the applicability of their work to HIM.

251
Mitral stenosis, a condition marked by the narrowing of the mitral valve, necessitates an integrated approach for effective management. This approach includes preventative measures, medical therapy, and surgical interventions to reduce symptoms and prevent complications.PreventionPrevention of mitral stenosis primarily focuses on reducing the incidence of bacterial infections, particularly streptococcal infections, which can lead to rheumatic fever and subsequent valvular damage. Timely...

406
Aortic regurgitation (AR) is when the aortic valve does not close or seal properly, leading to backward blood circulation from the aorta into the left ventricle during diastole. Common causes of AR include rheumatic heart disease, congenital valve defects, and aortic root dilation. Managing AR requires a multifaceted approach to alleviate symptoms, preserve left ventricular function, and address the underlying cause of the regurgitation. Patients with symptomatic AR or significant left...
