Health care is delivered in dynamic, complex, and ever changing environments. Changes in medical treatments, regulations for federal and state reimbursement and public knowledge about making individual and collective health care choices create growing demands for information. To respond proactively for these changes and the growing demands for clinical information, computer systems are being devised to collect, store, retrieve, analyze and communicate health status and health care information. It can aid in collecting, storing, retrieving and analyzing patient care data when the systems are based on concepts from informatics. Appropriately designed and deployed computerized systems of information can transform patient care data into clinically relevant and useful information and knowledge.- Numerical Simulation of Superplastic Forming of AA7475 Aluminum Alloy in a Circular Die
