The Role Of Health Informatics In Improving Healthcare Quality: A Systematic Review

Abstract

Health informatics is significant in improving the quality of healthcare by leveraging technology to enhance patient outcomes, streamline processes, and facilitate data-driven decision-making. This systematic review explores the significant impact of health informatics on healthcare quality by synthesizing findings from existing literature and secondary data sources. The study identifies key areas where health informatics has the potential to drive significant improvements in patient care, such as enhancing patient safety, reducing medical errors, increasing efficiency in healthcare delivery, and improving clinical decision-making. By analyzing a diverse range of studies on the topic, the review highlights the multifaceted benefits of health informatics in enhancing healthcare quality across various settings and populations. The findings demonstrate that health informatics interventions, such as electronic health records, telemedicine and health information exchange, have been shown to drive positive outcomes in terms of patient care, resource utilization, and healthcare delivery. Moreover, the[1] review emphasizes the importance of integrating health informatics into healthcare systems to optimize the quality of care and achieve better health outcomes for patients. In conclusion, this systematic review underscores the pivotal role of health informatics in reshaping healthcare delivery and improving quality by harnessing the influence of technology to transform the healthcare landscape. The findings provide valuable insights for healthcare policymakers, practitioners, and researchers seeking to leverage health informatics to boost the quality of care and drive improvements in patient outcomes.
