Health informatics offers benefits in healthcare, but evaluations of these electronic tools are lacking. More research is needed to guide policy makers in adopting new health IT systems effectively.

Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Informatics
  • Health Policy

Background:

  • Health informatics involves significant investment in IT for improved healthcare quality and cost-efficiency.
  • Systematic reviews confirm health benefits of electronic tools in prevention and therapeutic monitoring.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the critical need for robust evaluations of health informatics tools and methods.
  • To address the gap in published research on the effectiveness of health IT.

Main Methods:

  • This study is a review and analysis of the current state of health informatics research and adoption.
  • It identifies a gap in published evaluations of informatics tools.

Main Results:

  • Despite demonstrated benefits of some electronic health tools, there is a significant lack of published evaluations.
