Information Technology Development Within Health Care

Imagine a fully developed IT system where all important information on an individual person s health-related aspects are stored, easy searchable and safely available for communication and systematic support for decisions and also follow up of interventions, by the patient and health care providers. Of course there are several potential drawbacks to this but from a patient health care perspective the benefits are clear. In UK a large scale IT project Connecting for Health are supposed to support the UK-NHS in providing better, safer care, by delivering computer systems and services that improve how patient information is stored and accessed (NHS 2004). This could be one way to start up. However the patient perspective on, communication, learning, responsibility, knowledge, follow-up on effects etcetera must be supported.

Information Technology Development Within Health Care... 

Polymers play a significant part in humans existence. They have a role in every aspect of modem life, such as health care, food, information technology, transportation, energy industries, and so on. The speed of developments within the polymer sector is phenomenal and, at same time, cmcial to meet the demands of today s and future life. Specific applications for polymers range from adhesives, coatings, painting, foams and packaging to stmctural materials, composites, textiles, electronic and optical devices, biomaterials, and many other uses in industries and daily life. Polymers are the basis of natural and synthetic materials. They are macromolecules and, in nature, are the raw material for proteins and nucleic acids, which are essential for human bodies.
