Health care informatics is an evolution which we the health

care professionals need to become more and aware,

knowledge, and protectable of patient care. There is a range

of information in technology (IT) and information-analysis

skills and services required by the NHS (National Health

Services) that we need to be familiarized.


4

The branches in question and that we need to become

knowledgeable are: bioinformatics, clinical informatics,

consumer-health informatics.


5

As the application of Internet Technology (IT) to improve

management of patient data, population data and other

information relevant to patient care and community health,

teaching, biomedical research, and advancing medical knowledge.

There are many areas that we need to be aware of in an effort to

understand the correct way to on how to communicate among each

other. Once again, do you see yourself doing this like in the photo?

These are the things that many involved in the Healthcare Informatics

are trying to let us know since we need to be aware of:

These are the things that many involved in the Healthcare

Informatics are trying to let us know since we need to be aware of

things such as the following:

1-type of health informatics program

2-vendors such as CISCO, LINUX


8

3-language or jargon such as HIS, HIM, PHR, (will discuss these later on)

4-type of Web 1.0 or Web 2.0 in the area of work

5-to whom you can go to in the event that you may find any type of errors

concerning data entries

These prior issues discussed are just a few of all the Healthcare

Informatics that we need to learn. As you research the internet, attend to

a health informatics courses and read areas that have been there since

the 1968s you become more familiarized with the new issues after many

studies have been done in an effort to protect healthcare information and

avoid numerous things such as labs, x-rays, pharmaceutical and

surgeries that have been done to a particular patient

There has been an explosion of mHealth activities around the world.

A 2011 global survey of 114 nations undertaken by the World Health

Organization found that mHealth initiatives have been established in

many countries, but there is variation in adoption levels (WHO,

2011). The most common activity was the creation of health call

centers, which respond to patient inquiries. This was followed by

using SMS for appointment reminders, using telemedicine, accessing

patient records, measuring treatment compliance, raising health

awareness, monitoring patients, and physician decision support.

As we continue to discuss what healthcare

informatics is all about in the medical field we

will continue to discuss about the diversity of

the many medical programs that are around

the globe in effort to use the correct one.
