  • About the SocietyThe Philippine Medical Informatics Society is an acknowledged proponent of open source development for health. Realizing that public health is for the public good, it maintains that all health applications must be open to peer review and analysis. Among the activities it has offered through its eight years were lectures from international medical informatics experts, seminars on use of online bibliographic databases, handheld devices, electronic health records, and security of electronic health information. The PMIS is a strong partner in the Standards for Health Information in the Philippines project as well as the BuddyWorks Telehealth Project and the upcoming Philippine National Health Information Infrastructure. The Society’s bias is for the deployment of health information systems in support of national development and poverty alleviation through the full implementation of the Primary Healthcare Approach. Among the beneficiaries of its technical seminars are community health workers, government midwives, and private practitioners..
  • President’s Message  Hello colleagues in the Philippine Medical Informatics Society (PMIS), thank you for all your support and trust in me and my capabilities. For a period of two years, I will be serving PMIS as president, and, during this period, I will try my best to make our society more interactive and more conducive for intellectual exchange of ideas and knowledge in health informatics. Medical Informatics is all around us–in our everyday health practice and in our own health promotion, it’s just that most of us miss out on the opportunities to utilize the principles and theories of med info in order to make clinical decisions more precise and accurate. My vision is for PMIS to be pro-active to the changes that are happening around us, we are at the forefront of technology as it shapes and carves the tapestry that would later become the future of medicine. Advances in healthcare is unfolding so fast that most of the methods and techniques taught during our school days 10-20 years ago are getting obsolete and are replaced by more machines and software applications. Handheld device software programs are proving to be of a big help and we are slowly growing more….
  • Health Informatics in the PhilippinesAbstract The progress of biomedical informatics in the Philippines has been fraught with many highs and lows. Called ‘health informatics’ locally, the field has been in informal and formal development for the past ten years since the first professionals commenced investing time and energy to pursue the field as a distinct discipline. Although local efforts have been hampered with infrastructure issues, there have been many activities that have provided strategic foundation for the implementation of future activities. Foremost among these is the Master of Science in Health Informatics offered by the University of the Philippines Manila. The program offers a unique approach to learning health informatics by putting emphasis on community-based and community-managed health information systems that are appropriate for resource constrained environments. It is also unique for its heavy adoption of the principles of primary health care (as manifested by the Declaration of Alma Ata) in its curriculum design and implementation. Introduction As a science, biomedical informatics had been loosely practiced in the Philippines as early as the nineteen eighties. Residents in tertiary care facilities who had access to IBM compatible machines were already using word processors to store patient information. In other areas, anecdotal evidence of database management….
