"Lainie Ross presents a rigorous critical investigation of the development of policy governing the involvement of children in medical research. She examines the shift in focus from protection of medical research subjects, enshrined in post-World War II legislation, to the current era in which access is assuming greater precedence. "

"With the advent of electronic medical records years ago and the increasing capabilities of computers, our healthcare systems are sitting on growing mountains of data. Not only does the data grow from patient volume but the type of data we store is also growing exponentially. Practical Predictive Analytics and Decisioning Systems for Medicine provides research tools to analyze these large amounts of data and addresses some of the most pressing issues and challenges where data integrity is compromised: patient safety, patient communication, and patient information. Through the use of predictive analytic models and applications, this book is an invaluable resource to predict more accurate outcomes to help improve quality care in the healthcare and medical industries in the most cost efficient manner.Practical Predictive Analytics and Decisioning Systems for Medicine provides the basics of predictive analytics for those new to the area and focuses on general philosophy and activities in the healthcare and medical system. It explains why predictive models are important, and how they can be applied to the predictive analysis process in order to solve real industry problems. Researchers need this valuable resource to improve data analysis skills and make more accurate and cost-effective decisions."

"Evaluation of Laboratory Information Tracking System (LITS) at US Namru-2, JakartaU.S. Naval Medical Research Unit No.2 (U.S. NAMRU-2), as medical research institution, needs the information system that can be used for storing and tracking data and specimens from their research. Regarding the importance of the laboratory information storage and tracking system, from 1995 US Namru-2 has used the software, called LITS, as their storage and tracking laboratory information. Although, theoretically LITS can help the laboratory to maintain their data and specimens, there are some hindrances in its implementation, such as unwillingness of the laboratory to switch from their own system to LITS. It is happened because as a new system, feasibility and aptitude function of LITS is yet to comprehend thoroughly.The objective of this research is to evaluate the implementation of LITS at US Namru-2, particularly to assess information on LITS usage, identify the factor that influence the implementation, and give the recommendation for solving the problems.Methods used for this research are descriptive-qualitative and quantitative. The output of the research showed 46.4 % of datalspecimens from all study conducted in US Namru-2 from 1991, is already submitted to LITS. Five out of six laboratories in US Namru-2 already used LITS as their data/specimens storage and retrieval, although not completely and only for 1 study. There are some changes in organizational structure, policy, human resource, material and method that need to be done for better using of LITS in US Narnru-2.Bibliography: 20 (1984 - 1998)"

"Recent trends in health care across the United States and internationally have emphasized a novel approach that consists in comparing the effectiveness and efficacy of treatment interventions with a patient-centered emphasis (i.e., evidence-based health care), while ensuring cost constraints, maximizing benefits, and minimizing risks. In this book, experts in comparative effectiveness and efficacy research and analysis for practice (CEERAP) in health care in general address a range of topical issues. The emphasis is on implications for endodontics and nursing, both of which are considered in a series of detailed chapters. Commonalities and differences among CEERAP, utility-based and logic-based analysis and decision-making, and evidence-based and patient-centered practice are defined and discussed. The book concludes by examining applications for CEERAP in developing patient-centered optimal treatment interventions for the next decade."
