Health Informatics is a term describing the acquiring, storing, retrieving and using of healthcare information to foster better collaboration among a patient’s various healthcare providers. Health Informatics plays a critical role in the push toward healthcare reform. Health informatics is an evolving specialization that links information technology, communications and healthcare to improve the quality and safety of patient care.

It is a multidisciplinary field that uses health information technology (HIT) to improve health care via any combination of higher quality, higher efficiency and new opportunities.

It is also called as health care informatics, healthcare informatics, medical informatics, nursing informatics, clinicalinformatics, or biomedical informatics.

Medical informatics is the intersection of information science, computer science, and health care. This field deals with the resources, devices, and methods required to optimize the acquisition, storage, retrieval, and use of information in health and biomedicine.

This program covers the multidisciplinary field of informatics, decision support systems, telemedicine, ethics, consumer health informatics, international healthcare systems, global health informatics, translational research informatics, and home care. Students will learn how to design and implement innovative applications and promote new technologies to improve health care. Our program is designed to focus on:

• complex medical decisions
• evidence-based medicine
• disease management
• population health management

Established regulations, such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), include specific security and compliance provisions for the healthcare sector. The advancement of technology in the medical field, accompanied by the requirements to keep sensitive data confidential, creates the need for a graduate program that offers medical informatics education and provides course work and study in the critical area of data security.

The Master of Science in Health Informatics is designed to deepen understanding and knowledge of medical informatics and computer/information security provide research opportunities within the field of medical informatics provide a flexible curriculum to allow for both traditional and nontraditional graduate students Graduates will be qualified to work in hospital and healthcare systems, health informatics firms, research laboratories, computer/information security firms, medical technology firms, public health organizations, medical software companies, insurance companies, and governmental organizations.

Conclusion

Journal of Healthcare Communications is an open access journal and publishes articles after thorough peer review. This journal handles many aspects related to technology with health. It is also analyzing modern issues, hypothesis, research findings, and evidence-based mediations and innovation across different areas of strategic health communication as applied to the healthcare, public health and global health fields.

The main aim of this journal is to focus on “Digital Technology”, where it promotes communication strategies, that may encourage improving patient health and community. Apart of digital technology, the journal also focuses on programs, surveys associated with health. This journal accepts the case studies, research articles, advanced technologies and emerging strategies etc. This journal helps to bridge the frame work in communication in healthcare between medical practitioner and patient.

A standard editorial manager system is utilized for manuscript submission, review, editorial processing and tracking which can be securely accessed by the authors, reviewers and editors for monitoring and tracking the article processing.
