The Role of Health Informatics in Improving Health Care Delivery and Patient Outcomes

Abstract

Lack of standardized health informatics is a major concern towards the other inconsistencies of public health informatics, hence a more in-depth knowledge needs to be developed to avoid the vulnerabilities in public health (Alanazi et al., 2022). Interoperability is said to be one of the current concerns in Health Informatics as it relates to electronic medical records and health data. Health regulation and policy changes have recently been made, making health informatics more important at this time. Health Informatics is an overall health science and information technology branch. Because health informatics is a rapidly evolving and growing industry, the health field should obtain benefits in terms of the utilization and implementation of the database. This paper provides an assessment of the need for and planning of health informatic competencies. A look at the health informatics concept has been undertaken, reviewed the work under way in the world and determined possible competency needs. To establish this partnership, the system should develop and maintain strong collaborations between industry, governments, public and private hospitals, academia, consulting companies, and software vendors in the digital health industry. It is analyzed to know what demands for health informatics and competencies are needed. As the result, the development of a conceivable and internationally comparable health informatics framework that outlines health informatives competencies at a national level is essential. In public health, health informatics is involved in clearing standards (including training and education standards) for public health professionals.
