Week 7

How can the use of Medical Informatics be used to improve the processes throughout the healthcare industry in the United States?

In this week’s research, I found additional information pertaining to my research question. With Healthcare Reform, there are quite a few incentivized programs to encourage data efficiency. The data is utilized to analyze and determine growing trends among patients and effectively manage a patient’s care. In order to do so, information needs to be readily available, easily accessible, detailed, and properly stored based on the type of data. The sources this week are all credible, as they are either provided by government agencies, or healthcare providers currently involved in the creating of administrative guidelines, and government standards for healthcare management. The industry is ever changing, which only makes sense to head towards information technology to be able to accommodate the change in the shortest amount of time possible—as to not interrupt any process of a patients care. The industry has made strides in managing data today, but this is still a work in progress.
