    (Ieee, 2015) Gokay, Gonca; Ercil, Yavuz; Tokdemir, Gul; Cagiltay, Nergiz; Aykac, Y. Evren
    With the emergence of new technologies, there is an increasing number of studies to improve healthcare delivery quality and health services. The studies have shown that the focus should be on integrated, sharable and personalized healthcare solutions which requires usage of patient data as much as possible for fast and correct diagnosis and care. Hence, data related to people when they are healthy and when they are sick become very critical for which many projects have been initiated to increase awareness of people about the importance of data collection all over the world and in our country as well. This requires more active role of the citizens in tracking their healthcare data. In this study, Microsoft Health Vault system that is used for storage of personal health records, has been analyzed in terms of its usability characteristics and the results have been discussed.

    Patient Safety & Clinical Decision Support Systems (cdss): a Case Study in Turkey
    (Ieee, 2015) Menekse, Gonca Gokce; Cagiltay, Nergiz Ercil; Tokdemir, Gul
    Decision making process is crucial in several stages of clinical procedures. On the other hand, there are not many studies showing the implications of decision support systems in clinical environments. Hence, adaptation of Decision Support Systems to clinical environment is getting more important as we can collect more data through sensors and yet cannot use it effectively in decision making process. This study aims to understand the effects, benefits and obstacles utilizing CDSS in healthcare. For this purpose, 60 CDSS studies were analyzed to better understand their purpose, implementation domain, and success degrees in the world. Also, a case study was made for analyzing the situation in Turkey. The results show that in the field of neurosurgery, the level of analysis of neurosurgical data in Turkey is very low. The results show an urgent need for collaboration of IT experts and medical authorities to better record and analyze clinical data in the field of neurosurgery.

    Neuronavigation Systems and Passive Usage Problem
    (Ieee, 2015) Cagiltay, Nergiz; Topalli, Damla; Borcek, Alp Ozgun; Tokdemir, Gul; Maras, Hakan; Tonbul, Gokcen; Aydin, Elif
    Nowadays, neuronavigation systems are used in brain surgery procedures, known as a technology to help the surgeon during the operational period. However, the surgeons have faced several problems with the existing systems. Some of these problems are related to the systems software and user interfaces. In this study, such problems are examined and the "Passive Usage" term is added to the literature by establishing a connection between the problems of endoscopic surgical procedures and similar issues occurred in other domains. The passive usage problem is generalized on different domains for the first time with this study. The results of the study expected to gather up the similar passive usage problems experienced in different domains. Accordingly, the methodologies and studies that are conducted in different research areas may lead to eliminate the Passive Usage problems efficiently.
