HEALTH INFORMATICS;PRINCIPLES OF HEALTH INFORMATICS

The document discusses various topics related to health informatics including definitions of key terms like health informatics, nursing informatics, and public health informatics. It describes the need for and applications of nursing informatics in areas like nursing practice, administration, and limitations. Examples are provided of how data, information and knowledge are used in healthcare for education, hospital management, research, and data management. Emerging technologies like nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, real-time data, robotics, and virtual reality are discussed as applied examples of knowledge and information in healthcare.

Unit 2 : PRINCIPLES OF HEALTH INFORMATICS KRISHNA GANDHI
TERMINOLOGIES • Health informatics: To assist physicians in providing better healthcare, health informatics is the process of collecting, analysing, and managing health data as well as the use of medical theories in conjunction with health information technology systems. • Nursing informatics: Nursing informatics includes all interactions between nurses and health IT systems. It manages patient records online and delegated the management of transitions of care to their nursing teams in their electronic health records.
• • Public health informatics: The use of computer science, information, and technology in public health management, including disease surveillance, prevention, readiness, andhealth education.• Health information technology: Medical practitioners and other healthcare organizations employ technological tools to collect, store, analyzes, retrieve, and share information.
"Nursing informatics" refers to the application of computer science to the nursing profession and data processing.
NEED OF NURSING INFORMATICS • Nursing informatics supports the decision-making of patients and nurses. • Nursing informatics makes the clinical practice more effective by using the nursing process. • Nursing informatics can identify a need and demand for nurses and healthcare settings. • Nursing informatics helps in updating the knowledge and skills of nurses by proving continued nursing education to maintain competence and adheres to the overall education requirements of the profession. • Nursing informatics defines the competencies for the area of specialty nursing practice. • Nursing informatics provides mechanisms for supporting, reviewing, and disseminating research to support its knowledge base and evidence-based practice. • Nursing informatics has defined educational criteria for specialty preparation in nursing. It has continuing education programs or other mechanisms for nurses in the specialty.
Examine both financial and clinical data Promote the delivery of evidence-based, high-quality healthcare Present nursing information in standardized languages Enhance care continuity Support and make it easier to find resources and references Strengthen connections between medical professionals and patients Encourage cost-cutting measures and productivity targets Restructure the clinical workflow Support the management of change Use technology to maintain nursing job processes Encourage real multidisciplinary treatment O B J E C T I V E S

USE OF DATA, INFORMATION AND KNOWLEDGE IN HEALTHCARE PRACTICE • The use of information and knowledge in healthcare can be categorized into four main streams such as: • 1. Health and education: In the digital age, people can quickly find, access, learn from, and communicate with others. Education is now open, available, and accessible to everyone. Public awareness of communicable diseases, health status, preventative measures, and different modern diagnostic and treatment techniques is fostered via health education. This provides consumers the option to select the top medical facilities and practitioners to turn to for care so they can live a healthy life. • 2. Hospital management system: Hospital management to successfully guide the organization. This aids management in overcoming the difficulties the hospital is now experiencing. It aids management in enhancing patient security and satisfaction, staying current with cutting-edge technology, being knowledgeable about population health and statistics, and staying on top of legislative mandates. The workplace can be strengthened in first place.
• 3. Healthcare research: Healthcare research aids in identifying potential disease eradication and disease reduction strategies. New technologies in diagnosis can speed up the process and cut costs. This provides therapy in advance, saving the lives of numerous people. The existing healthcare systems can be abolished and new models for efficient, high-quality treatment can be created through knowledge and information. • 4. Health data management: Electronic medical data storage is the primary application of knowledge and information in hospitals. This makes it easier to access the information. Data can be provided to the patient or to the doctors for consultation thanks to knowledge and information. The patient can access their own medical records at anytime and anyplace.
Applied Examples of Knowledge and Information in Healthcare • Nanotechnology: Nanotechnology is slowly but steadily making its way toward contributing to the medical sector of our country. Scientists have developed Nanobots that are capable of unclogging arteries and preventing cases of heart attacks. Researchers are in the process of developing nanoparticles that will be able to cure neurological disorders in a better way. Nanotechnology is an area that has a lot of scope for further providing neck-breaking technology in this field. • Artificial intelligence: It is no secret that humans as a species are the most intelligent and analytical on this planet. We are superior to any other organism when it comes to processing data in a logical and systematic matter. The only limitation we face is in terms of the amount of information we can process over a given amount of time. That is where the importance of Artificial Intelligence (Al) can be seen. Some of the applications of Al in healthcare are treatment design, virtual nurses, drug creation, health monitoring.
• Real time data: We are living in a world where every news and information comes to us 'live'. In today's day and age where everything is real time, many start-ups have come in the healthcare sector that are focusing on providing live status of your appointments onyour phone, queue management for hospitals/ clinics, urgent online bookings in case of emergencies, door-to- door delivery of medicines, medical reports on your phone straight from the lab, etc. This has made a lot of people's life easier than it used to be before. In addition to this, it also saves up a lot of time. • Robotics: Advantage of having technology is that it makes our life much more efficient and easy. The entering of robotics in healthcare sector is one of the most advance move that humans have initiated in terms of medicine. There are robotic surgeries these days that are performed without the presence of a physician. Robotic assistance is also there at some places where robots help in medical equipment and telehealth. They also help in monitoring procedures. Robots are also performing surgeries these days in delicate areas of our body, such as human brain, etc.
• Virtual reality: Virtual reality in the healthcare sector have made significant developments in conditions, such as autism, lazy eye, chronic pain, etc. A lot of people associate virtual reality only with cinema but virtual reality has a lot more applications than that. Many labs use virtual reality to treat chronic pain. Virtual reality is also used for speedy recovery from fatal brain injuries. It also helps in medical education as a lot of institutes use it to give students live experience by streaming surgical operations, etc. This revolutionary solution is safe and affordable at the same time.
