Health Informatics (also called "eHealth") covers the use of Information and Communications Technologies in supporting clinical processes and services in many diverse healthcare situations. Some well known components of Health Informatics are:
clinical decision support,
electronic health records,
health communications / messaging,
health information management and analysis,
telehealth / telemedicine,
web services health applications.
Health Informatics at UWS concentrates on three broad areas within the ICT space:
Health Data, including databases, data analytics / mining, medical image data;
Health Decisions, including computational learning and pattern recognition;
Health Processes, including hospital systems and patient journey modelling.
At UWS, a multidisciplinary approach is taken in our Health Informatics activities and projects involve collaborators from areas outside ICT, either internally (eg Business, Medicine, Nursing) or externally (eg GP, Hospital, Health Department).
