Enhancing the Abilities of Healthcare SectorHealth informatics uses information technology to store, organize, and analyze health information to discover ways to improve clinical outcomes. The use of informatics software in healthcare leverages the benefits of communications and information technologies (IT) in the industry to improve patient care quality and streamline workflows. The central aim of hospital informatics is to boost the productivity and efficiency of everyday operations, which directly and indirectly translates into improved quality of care and lowered healthcare costs. Thus, informatics software helps all stakeholders involved.
A clinically integrated, systems-based approach to deliver healthcare services is needed as per the Affordable Care Act. To provide such systems-based care, well-coordinated health systems with integrated EHR is essential. Healthcare informatics management ensures to offer a systemized care model that offers coordinated care support across all conditions and diseases, multiple care settings, and through time. In such healthcare informatics technology, EHR is the critical component to facilitate healthcare practitioners’ use, collection, and clinical data documentation to provide a comprehensive and easily accessible longitudinal care record. The EHR key metrics in a clinical informatics system are essential to driving actionable insights to improve patient health outcomes.
OSP can program medical informatics solutions to your needs by integrating in-house or third-party EHR systems successfully.

After the HITECH Act enactment under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009, health informatics data management was altered. For health informatics, the volume, breadth, depth, and pace at which health information is collected have surged. Clinical information systems require top-notch database management to improve patient treatment, HIPAA compliance, population health, cost containment, and quality control. But the major challenge faced by a health informatics system is the myriad collection of patient data from multiple sources such as medical health records, Iot wearables, online patient portals, diagnostic systems, and genomics. The need for robust medical informatics database management is high to make sense of this unstructured data.
OSP has a team of experts that can understand your health care informatics needs and build a quality database that will solve the challenge faced by the hospital management system and clinics. The database will be engineered, keeping the healthcare informatics security while offering the health providers key insights to make informed decisions on care delivery and create individualized treatment plans. Health informatics can be customized for care management and operational benefits, too, such as helping nursing, clinical, and operational teams enhance time management and resource management in hospitals. There are multiple options, such as Open Database Connectivity (ODBC), an application programming interface (API) to facilitate connections between databases, and process complex health data across platforms. A health informatics database can help in data governance and information governance to ensure data is valid and available to physicians.
Healthcare providers handle complex health data while making important care management decisions about patients and resources. Visualizing health data helps the health decision-makers to understand the key trends and information via graphs, charts, and other visuals. Health information systems can leverage data visualization to swiftly share urgent health information and compare different data types to offer robust, patient-specific treatment plans. For example, a physician can view a patient’s medical history and then compare it against trends and trajectories with other patients with similar conditions the way it happens in population health management. Data visualization in healthcare information systems efficiently reviews multiple data points and applies insights obtained to make informed decisions about patient care.
We understand that value-based care needs organizations to leverage health informatics and democratize access to actionable insights to drive information through the entire enterprise.
