Health Informatics in Public Health
This was an applied project that addressed how the overdose prevention methods affected patients in long-term basis. It would be accomplished by full utilization of the prevention methods across different communities and study methods. By the end of 2020, the study aims to have made every implementation of the plans for the purpose of establishing legal policies, strategies and measures that would be used in overdose prevention (In Magnuson & In Fu, 2014). The project relied much in Secondary Analysis of Archived Data as the main evaluation method. Secondary sources were explicitly reviewed in order to supply the research with every relevant material. In this regard, health informatics were obtained and appropriately applied in the project in various aspects.
First¸ the informatics were essentially used in the initialization phase of the project. They were the key in the identification of the project’s requirement as well as the setting of the intended objectives. Informatics provided with the existing health figures from which were able to define and approach the problem (In Magnuson & In Fu, 2014). The health informatics was also useful in the planning process. It helped in the identification of the specific tasks and the overall workflow of the project.
While planning was being conducted, potential challenges were identified prior to the research project. The informatics also facilitated the understanding of the research overall scope of the research so as to remain within the limits of the research focus. Informatics are also used I the closing phase which focuses on solving the post project issues such as argumentative conversations among health professionals (In Magnuson & In Fu, 2014). During this period, new requests are adopted and implemented in the healthcare centers during the implementation process. Health informatics finds their place in the optimization necessities that tend to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of patient care.
During the execution of the project, intervention activities shall be guided by the health informatics. It will minimize wastage of time and resources while at the same time maximizing the adoption of new workflows. During the monitoring and follow-up activities, informatics is essential in facilitating startling problems in the follow-up sessions. This will help in improving efficiency of the implementation progress.
From the readings, principles of program design have been plainly covered. Health records for both global and local populations have been successfully been monitored and improved. This sector requires the combination of both the managerial skills in the healthcare department as well as the unique skills found in a health informaticist.
The results were useful in the healthcare field such that they formed fertile ground from which recommendations would be implemented. The results also enticed further researches in order to increase the current knowledge of overdose prevention methods. The choice of secondary sources was also made successfully with all of the chosen articles being credible (In Magnuson & In Fu, 2014). Health informatics in this regard was an important tool in the initializing and planning purposes. On the same project, the use of IT system would be my area of concern since it would have helped in the manipulation of electronic health records. This would in turn improve efficiency, save cost and provide a better platform for the improvement of the results. Future projects need to utilize the cutting-edge technologies in order to do the purposed intensive and extensive researches on the matter of overdose prevention. In this manner, health informatics can be best reviewed and applied into the current health demands (In Magnuson & In Fu, 2014).
