Abstract

Understanding the role of pathology informatics in patient safety entails an introduction to terminology and projects that have represented efforts to date in this area. The authors provide a short alphabetized introduction to several "buzzwords" and terms related to tools and processes that are used by health care research experts and workers involved in patient safety initiatives. The authors also include short descriptions of key health care research and patient safety projects that are relevant to pathology. They aim to highlight the areas where pathology informatics in all of its flavors (production systems provided by vendors as well as research and development efforts) can play a role in promoting patient safety.

摘要

要理解病理信息学在患者安全中的作用，需要先介绍该领域迄今为止所做努力的相关术语和项目。作者按字母顺序简短介绍了几个与医疗保健研究专家及参与患者安全倡议的工作人员所使用的工具和流程相关的“流行语”及术语。作者还简要描述了与病理学相关的关键医疗保健研究和患者安全项目。他们旨在突出病理信息学的各个方面（供应商提供的生产系统以及研发工作）在促进患者安全方面能够发挥作用的领域。
