Medicine ethics as a public problem.

Ethics, especially medical ethics, is of a great importance in medical informatics field ethical principles have great importance in confidentiality, security, and access to patient records. This is not as simple problem as it looks in the first sight, and--in that context--it is significant that many jurisdictions have drafted laws in this regard. As medical informatics has been developed, this ethical problem is becoming very important for medical informatics. Many efforts to make fundamental principles "according to which data protection and access to official information could be reconciled" are made. The principles described in this paper are independent of any process, as they are based on ethical principles. It avoids any kind of conflict or misunderstandings. They can be a base for making of an ethical code for informatics in health care delivery. These principles are independent of any particular "laws", and they can serve as to establish uniformity of standards in medical informatics.

Public health in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

It has been presented flow of socio-medical development and implementation on former Yougoslavia and Bosnia and Herzegovina territory in last thirty years. The names of those who are deserved for socio-medical development and its insufficiency on the organization on health system and some specific parts of it. Doubtlessly, the social medicine, as science and profession, and specially that one in Bosnia and Herzegovina, had high level among other disciplines, but also as profession per se, specially at the International level. There is huge evidence of numerous projects, congress papers, recognized by indigenous and international audience.

Actual problems in medical informatics.

Medical informatics has been the first science that connects all traditional medical disciplines, thanking to common information needs and requirements of these disciplines. Its goal is incorporating of information technology into medical praxis, getting medical professionals in touch with capabilities of computer technology and preparing the professionals for the future that belongs to more and more powerful computer technologies. Information as a "crucial" component of medicine is in the focus of each investigation. There are many problems that have to be solved through fundamental investigation: knowledge databases; knowledge structuring problems; joining the different kinds of knowledge; knowledge and representation of decision making process; medical concepts; integration and information and knowledge exchange; education of medical staff; structure and organisation. What kinds of management are the best for application in the field of medical informatics? What are the changes in organisation and structure when computer are used? How to connect education processes in clinical centres, libraries, clinical functions and investigations? In this article author discuss about the theoretical and practical part of the education process on biomedical faculties in Bosnia and Herzegovina, according to new curriculum.

Education of medical informatics in the medical curriculum on biomedical faculties in Sarajevo.

In this paper author discussed about experiences of implementing curriculum of education of Medical informatics on biomedical faculties in Sarajevo. Theoretical and practical part of education process, according to new curriculum, during 6 years period of studying at Faculty of medicine in Sarajevo, is hold within the second semester and consists of 30 hours. At Faculty of Dental Medicine in Sarajevo, education is hold in the fourth semester, and consists of 45 hours. At Higher Medical School in Sarajevo, education is also hold in the fourth semester, and consists of 30 hours of theoretical and 30 hours of practical hours as well. Curriculum of Medical Informatics is identical at all these three institutions. Faculty of Dental Medicine education process points out dental informatics, and Higher Medical School devotes more time in education on nursing informatics.

[Radiovisiography--a modern method of diagnosis in stomatology].

Radiovisiography is a modern diagnostic method based on use of digital rentgen. Principle is use of so called CCD chip in sensor that is put in patient's mouth. Information are stored and, after processing, are reproduced as rentgen picture on screen or photo on printer. Appropriate software that support rentgen picture processing in several dimensions is used. Advantages comparing to classical rentgen are great. Principle machine works, hardware and software performances, advantages and disadvantages comparing to classical method are described in the paper.

Medical informatics--an interdisciplinary approach.

Medical informatics is the first science that has incorporated all traditional medical disciplines. That progress is possible due to fast development of new technologies, particularly in informatics, as well as due to common needs of all medical disciplines. Information is crucial component of all investigations, and that is why the main goal should be incorporation of information technologies into medical practice. Due to its complexity, medical informatics is interdisciplinary. That is evident through incorporation of different methods, principles, techniques etc., that are used while carrying out the tasks in the field of medical informatics. Implementation of modern technologies, particularly information technologies in medicine, will enable faster data processing; it will reduce expenditures in all branches of medicine (statistics, documentation or documentary etc.). Thus, medical staff will have much more time to devote themselves to primary tasks.

[Use of spreadsheets as decision support systems in health care].

During the last decade the spreadsheets take very important place in many different kind of theoretical and practical applications. In recent years the PC-Windows Operating System allowed us to use and develop many sorts of specialised software packages, as well as expert packages, applicable in medicine. The relationship or communication between man and computer has been improved using new hardware configuration based on fast and intelligent processors, software modification and audio-visual technology. The facts mentioned above have instantly produced circumstances for more powerful spreadsheet software. According to powerful spreadsheet features we can utilise calculation and maximise HIGM requirement for our software configuration. The investigation within large area of Tuzla-Podrinje Kanton shows us that small number of people are using spreadsheet in medical application. Very small percentage of people have limited number of applications on calculation like, subtraction, addition, multiplication, division and percentage. They have often used spreadsheet as an integral part of the following software packages, EXCEL ver. 5.0 and very little Lotus 1-2-3 because Lotus is in these days behind. The aim of this paper is to highlight application of the spreadsheet USING EXCEL software package. Apart from simple calculation and graphic presentation in "DSS-Decision making support system" can be used for model simulation, generator configuration, management monitoring, support and decision making in health care.
