Inhaltsangabe

Knowledge Coupling discusses the premises upon which the coupling of knowledge to every action is based in the practice of medicine, as well as why these premises must change. In concrete terms, the volume explores the methods of structuring and using medical knowledge and medical records that enables implementation of new premises; it sets forth a specific approach to use of the computer. The work examines the new roles and skills that will be demanded of both patients and health care providers within the system based on these new premises. The author takes into account the broad implications of his philosophy for the social, economic, educational, and political structuring of the health care system.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Lawrence L. Weed, MD (1923-2017) is best known for originating problem lists and "SOAP notes," two components of the problem-oriented record standard for organizing data in health records. As discussed in Chapter 5, LLW's work on health records arose out of his experiences in medical school, internships, residency in internal medicine, and basic research in biochemistry, at several institutions. In 1965, he became director of the outpatient clinics at Cleveland Metropolitan General Hospital, where he established a group to develop a computerized problem-oriented record. In 1969, he moved to the University of Vermont, where his group became known as the PROMIS Laboratory. LLW received a number of awards for his work, most prominently the Gustav O. Lienhard Award in 1995 from the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences. Further details on his career are available in a New York Times obituary and other sources cited in chapter 5.

Lincoln Weed, JD, a son of LLW, practiced employee benefits law in Washington, D.C. for 26 years, followed by 8 years at a consulting firm where he specialized in health privacy. His experience as an employee benefits lawyer included work on health benefits. This intersected with LLW's work in medicine, which led to them co-authoring several publications.
