The Foundational Model of Anatomy ontology (FMA) is now OPEN SOURCE The Foundational Model of Anatomy ontology (FMA) is an evolving computer-based knowledge source for bioinformatics; it is
concerned
with the representation of classes and relationships necessary for the symbolic modeling of the structure of the human body
in a form that is
understandable to humans and is also navigable, parseable and interpretable by machine-based systems. Specifically, the FMA
is a domain
ontology that represents a coherent body of explicit declarative knowledge about human anatomy.
Googling for a diagnosis--use of Google as a diagnostic aid: internet based study Doctors and patients are increasing proficient with the internet and frequently use Google to search for medical information.
Computers connected to the internet are now ubiquitous in outpatient clinics and hospital wards. Useful information on even
the rarest
medical syndromes can now be found and digested within a matter of minutes. This study suggests that in difficult diagnostic
cases, it is
often useful to “google for a diagnosis.
AHRQ's Electronic Preventive Services Selector (ePSS) for PDAs The Electronic Preventive Services Selector (ePSS) is a quick hands-on tool designed to help primary care clinicians identify
the
screening, counseling, and preventive medication services that are appropriate for their patients. The ePSNo warnings or errors
were found.

DOD working on e-health redundancy The Clinical Data Repository, which holds the medical records of 8.6 million active-duty and retired service members and their
families, failed briefly last week. An official, who declined to be identified, described the 20-minute failure as a burp
and said it is not
the first time it has happened in the past several years as the Military Health System (MHS) transfers records to the Armed
Forces Health
Longitudinal Technology Application (AHLTA) database. The clinical repository resides on a separate storage-area network,
and a mirror copy
exists at the data center that houses health records. The data center generates multiple copies of the repository each day,
and those copies
are retained on-site and off-site, according to a DISA statement. The DISA installed another mirror of the Clinical Data Repository
at a
geographically remote data center and is testing it, the official said. In addition, DISA and MHS are setting up cache servers
at MHS
facilities, which will let clinicians gain access to current records locally in case the repository goes down at the data
center.
