Health Informatics
Transcript: Affect on Society and Future Implications more efficient and effective data storage, use and retrieval create shorter wait times for patients and more effective time usage for healthcare providers simulation labs have trained future healthcare workers effectively advancements in treatment and diagnosis improve patient care, treatment, and accessibility still lots of room for improvement many hospitals could take advantage of the available technology healthcare industry always changing; technology always changing and new technology is needed Works Cited Thank You! Tasfia Alam ICS 3U1 Who Uses Health Informatics and Where? MUMPS - a programming language which made it easier to create medical databases and integrate them into the healthcare environment Cadence- patient scheduling software discipline that deals with the collection, storage, retrieval, communication and optimal use of health related data, information and knowledge What is Health Informatics? Care2x - patient charting and statistical data software programs for simulation labs for training Xebra- medical digital imaging software that is written in Java for web-based distribution and clinical review of radiology data classification systems using standardized terminology and coding, case management systems, access and referrals systems for healthcare services, patient monitoring systems, public health surveillance and protection systems Examples Health Informatics is a discipline where healthcare, information and computer sciences, social and behavioural sciences, epidemiology and engineering intersect Programs are constantly used at healthcare workplaces everyday to ensure efficient and effective use of data programs used for patient data, schedules, simulation labs, case studies, communication, statistical data, medical imaging Health Informatics COACH.
