Health Information Technology and Healthcare Information System

Health Information Technology (HIT)
Health Information Technology, commonly called HIT, integrates advanced information systems and technology in healthcare settings. Its primary functions include:
Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System01:26

Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System

At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is limited...
Integrated Healthcare System01:20

Integrated Healthcare System

An integrated healthcare system (IHS) is a set of organizations that provides for or arranges to provide coordinated and continuous service to a defined population. The IHS takes responsibility for that particular population's health status and outcome, both clinically and fiscally. An integrated healthcare system is a well-organized, well-coordinated, and collaborative network. The integrated delivery system is a network that connects different healthcare providers to deliver organized,...
International Nursing Organizations II01:28

International Nursing Organizations II

The World Health Organization (WHO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations based in Geneva. The WHO has many initiatives that center around health. Primarily, they lead global efforts to expand universal health coverage using science-based policies and programs. They are also responsible for shaping health research agendas and developing norms and standards.
The WHO provides expert team support, including funding, vaccines, testing, and treatment tools at the country level to fight...
International Nursing Organizations I01:23

International Nursing Organizations I

International Nursing Organization (ICN) is a global union of national nurses' organizations. Individual nurses can be a part of ICN through member organizations. Each member organization strives to ensure quality nursing care, sound health policies, the advancement of nursing knowledge, respect for the profession, and a satisfied and competent nursing workforce.
ICN member organizations work to advance the field of nursing and healthcare via policies, partnerships, lobbying, professional...
Principles of Disease Surveillance01:26

Principles of Disease Surveillance

Disease surveillance is the systematic collection, analysis, and interpretation of health data essential to the planning, implementation, and evaluation of public health practice. This process integrates data dissemination to entities responsible for preventing and controlling disease, injury, and disability. Surveillance systems provide crucial information for action, helping public health authorities make informed decisions to manage and prevent outbreaks, ensure public safety, optimize...

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Developing Countries
  • Systematic Reviews

Background:

  • An evidence-base is crucial for advancements in medicine and health informatics.
  • The adoption of health information systems in developing countries has lagged despite documented benefits.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically identify and classify health informatics applications within developing countries.
  • To synthesize existing evidence on health informatics in these regions.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic review of reviews was performed, searching major databases (PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, Scopus, Cochrane, LILACS, Google Scholar) from 2000-2012.
  • The search term used was 'systematic reviews of health informatics in developing countries'.
  • Transparent and systematic procedures were employed to minimize bias.

Main Results:

  • Out of 982 initially identified articles, only 11 met the inclusion criteria after a thorough search and manual addition.
  • These 11 systematic reviews formed the basis for the analysis.

Conclusions:

  • High-quality resources on health informatics in developing countries are scarce.
  • The available evidence provides an initial overview of the state of health informatics in these regions.
  • Further studies are required to enhance understanding and optimize the implementation of health information systems.
