Direct and Indirect Expression of Intergroup Relations

Man as an individual in a group is formed, it is the direct and indirect expression of intergroup relations. The significance of the individual, especially in that group - a certain system activity, given its place in the social division of labor in psychology in Grand Canyon University.


The group itself is the subject of a certain kind of activity, and through it is included in the whole system of social relations. In this regard, the group serves as the most complete reflection of the indigenous features of the social system within which it is formed and operates.
Group - is limited in the size of a community to be disbursed from the social whole on the basis of certain characteristics (the nature of the activity, or social class, structure, composition, level of development, etc.).
The most common division of groups by size into large and small groups. Large groups may be conditional, and include subjects that have no direct or indirect objective relationships with each other, may never even see each other, but in connection with a sign on which they were allocated in such a group have common social and psychological characteristics (national, age, sex, etc.).
In contrast to large groups, small groups - it is always in direct contact individuals united by common goals and objectives. A distinctive feature of the small group is the relative simplicity of its internal structure. It is understood that in a small group there is usually an authoritative leader (if the group is informal), or an authoritative leader (if the group is official), around which the rest of the group together as non profit debt consolidation.  

By differentiating the nature of their organization, which regulates the interaction of group members, it should be noted that the formal organization involves preconceived outside the group structure, while the informal organization of the group for the internal structural features, which are formed as a result of psychological rather than legal human interaction.

Public Health Informatics Application

In the present conditions of health care reform more urgent training in the use of advanced information technologies, including and on the basis of computer technology. Particularly acute problem arises in the framework of expanding the country's participation in the global information and educational space, as well as the increasing role of advanced management techniques. It should be noted that to date in higher medical education did not work out common approaches to building a learning process for the development of programs in medical informatics.

Public health and health care as an independent medical science is studying the impact of social conditions and environmental factors on population health in order to develop preventive measures for its improvement and the improvement of medical care. Public health informatics has been studying a wide range of medical, sociological, economic, administrative, philosophical problems in specific historical conditions.

Only this approach allows for the preparation of students at advanced users who know how to purposefully use computers for more efficient execution of their duties. Implementing this approach requires a multi-year coordinated effort, as well as a clear interaction with the health care practice. It is for this path was carried out development of the educational process in computer science and management in the medical academy.

The characteristics of the group, regional, public health in the statics and dynamics are considered as an integral state of health of all individuals taken together. It should be understood that it is not just the amount of data, and the amount of inter-related quantitative and qualitative indicators.

More than 10 years ago, before the organization of medical informatics course - some of these issues were included in the curriculum department medbiofiziki. This stage is characterized by the lack of willingness to younger students to take the specifics of the health care industry and the lack of a focused preparation for the medical application of computer technology on older courses. In this first mastered the basic concepts of computer science and cybernetics, and algorithmic foundations of programming principles and practice devices to computers. Particular attention is paid to the development of elements of work for medical devices with microprocessors and main areas of application of technology to solve problems in biology and medicine.

Further strengthen the foundations of biological cybernetics promote the use of computers in the departments of physiology, biochemistry and biology in understanding the processes of modeling of physiological and bio-energy functions, as well as in monitoring the education received by students of junior courses.

There are a number of issues that require further attention at the federal level. Increasingly there is a need to create industry-wide training manuals for these activities. It should speed up the formation of unified approaches to the definition of terms used in medical informatics, and to methods of teaching the discipline. There is a need for increased training hours for medinformatike, as well as to improve the training and retraining of teachers. In general, to improve the coordination of work on this activity.

These and many other pressing issues were discussed at the first nationwide educational-methodical conference on the teaching of medical informatics in higher educational institutions of the country, held in late 2005 at the Department of Medical Cybernetics and Informatics, Russian State Medical University. The conference adopted specific solutions to address existing problems and improve the quality of students and physicians in medical informatics.
