Health informatics (also called health care informatics, healthcare informatics, medical informatics or biomedical informatics) is a discipline at the intersection of information science, computer science, and health care. It deals with the resources, devices, and methods required to optimize the acquisition, storage, retrieval, and use of information in health and biomedicine. Health informatics tools include not only computers but also clinical guidelines, formal medical terminologies, and information and communication systems. It is applied to the areas of nursing, clinical care, dentistry, pharmacy, public health and (bio)medical research.
There are a number of health informatics organizations across the world. We are member of some these organizations.
Our services in this area include:
Development of Health Care Informatics Systems, assist in designing and architecture of such system in the area of EMR, billing, scheduling and research
We help Health Care Informatics Organizations in designing the Decision Support System
Develop the health care informatics softwares on hand held devices to assist providers with data entry/retrieval
Provide support for controlled medical vocabularies (CMVs) such as the Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine
Support standards (e.g. DICOM, HL7) and integration profiles (e.g. Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise) to facilitate the exchange of information between healthcare information systems - these specifically define the means to exchange data, not the content. |
