Critical questions for community informatics in practice from an ethical perspective
In this brief paper published in 2016, Wolske and Rhinesmith present what they call "a set of critical questions" for guiding those delving into a community informatics (CI) project. Properly using technology that allows collaboration, popular education, and asset development tools, community informatics projects are able to carry on with the primary goal of sustainably supporting community development projects. However, the authors argue, a set of ethical questions should be asked to drive the planning, development, and implementation of said CI projects. These questions, presented in this paper, have the potential to better "guide the evolution of ethical community informatics in practice, as well as the personal transformation of CI practitioners who seek to embrace all as equals and experts."Dietary and Nutritional Laboratory LIMS purchase

Bioinformatics workflow for clinical whole genome sequencing at Partners HealthCare Personalized Medicine
Genomic data is increasingly used to provide better, more focused clinical care. Or course, its associated datasets can be large, and it can take significant processing power to utilize and manage effectively. In this 2016 paper published in Journal of Personalized Medicine, Tsai et al. of Partners Healthcare describe their "bioinformatics strategy to efficiently process and deliver genomic data to geneticists for clinical interpretation." They conclude that with more research comes improved workflows and "filtrations that include larger portions of the non-coding regions as they start to have utility in the clinical setting, ultimately enabling the full utility of complete genome sequencing."

In this 2016 article published in JMIR Medical Informatics, Kruse et al. of the Texas State University present the results of a systematic review of articles and studies involving big data in the health care sphere. From this review the team identified nine challenges and 11 opportunities that big data brings to health care. The group describes these challenges and opportunities, concluding that either way "the vast amounts of information generated annually within health care must be organized and compartmentalized to enable universal accessibility and transparency between health care organizations."
