Infobuttons: Anticipatory Passive Decision Support ACMI Senior Member Presentation James J. Cimino, MD, FACMI Laboratory for Informatics Development NIH Clinical Center and Lister Hill National Center for Biomedical Communications National Library of Medicine Bethesda, Maryland

Infobutton (noun): in'·fō·but'·tən – a link from one on-line information system to another that uses contextual information from the former to facilitate the retrieval of relevant information from the latter. Example: links in clinical information systems that provide patient-data-specific links to health knowledge resources. Decision Support. Passive. Anticipatory.

Why Infobuttons?

Everybody is worried about losing their job to automation. They’re afraid they’ll be replaced by a button. But I’m smart. I’m going to get a job in the factory where they make the buttons. - Jackie Gleason, The Jackie Gleason Show, circa 1968

The How of Infobuttons Common tasks may have common needs System knows: –Who the user is –Who the patient is –What the user is doing –What information the user is looking at We may be able to predict the specific need User is sitting at a computer! We may be able to automate retrieval

Example 1: In this example the user is looking at a coded problem list of a male, 77 years-old patient with Bacterial Pneumonia. The user clicks on an infobutton that presents a series of questions. The user selects “How do I treat Bacterial Pneumonia?” The following message payload represents the communication between the Decission Support System and the Information Resource.

LITE Research Plan 1)Establish librarian user community 2)Refine LITE features 3)Collect feedback from librarians 4)Develop documentation 5)Collect feedback from librarians 6)Go to (2)

Conclusions Infobuttons and infobutton-like applications have a long history of development in the informatics community Context-specific links improve patient care The World Wide Web made resources available and made integration feasible The HL7 standard is driving adoption by clinical system vendors and knowledge vendors Tools are needed to enable institution-specific customization Join LITE and help out
