Clinical Informatics is a field that combines healthcare and information technology to improve patient care. It involves the use of data, information systems, and technology to manage health information, support clinical decision-making, and enhance the quality of care provided to patients.
Professionals in this field, known as Clinical Informaticists, work with electronic health records (EHRs), data analytics, and health information exchange systems. Their goal is to ensure that healthcare providers have access to accurate and timely information, ultimately leading to better health outcomes and more efficient healthcare delivery.
