The interactive architecture visualization for health informatics is an anonymized example overview of a blueprint for a hospital. One of the ways stakeholders and management of the organization utilized it was to identify key players, key information, and security dependencies on IT for achieving the required strategic results. The time it takes from the ambulance to the operating room was shortened significantly, using an EA blueprint like this at the hospital. Certain processes, delays, and data exchange could be optimized with it.
Most hospitals currently do not use a Security Enterprise Architecture blueprint for health informatics, when it is easy to generate such a blueprint for any organization on Dragon1. A blueprint like this provides an overview and insights into how effectively people, data, security, and technology are utilized within the organization to achieve objectives and goals. And this perfectly aligns with its definition.
The definition of Health Informatics is: connecting people, data, security, and technology optimally to improve healthcare outcomes and increase safety. It is leveraging global technological advancements and innovation to support its operations.
Synonyms for the term of this page are also biomedical informatics, medical informatics, nursing informatics, healthcare informatics, clinical informatics, or healthcare informatics. It is information engineering, but now applied within the area of health care.
Part of Health Informatics is all about measuring very well what is going on in an organization or value chain and relating the measurements against benchmarks or KPIs. You can measure things at a strategic level, like in the EA example, and you can measure things at the operational level, like in the fever chart below. It does not matter as long as it helps to improve healthcare outcomes.
On the Dragon1 platform, you can create blueprints, landscapes, and roadmaps, with dashboards showing indicators on them with KPIs. This turns Dragon1 into a solution for health informatics.
The outcomes of health care are improved when the data used is improved. The more you know about a patient's situation in real-time, the better you can treat a patient. As a result, health informatics solutions and systems are designed to improve the overall effectiveness of patient care delivery by ensuring that the data generated is of high quality. Below is an example screenshot of a medical information system that shows an electronic patient fever chart.
There are several international standards on this subject. These are for instance: ICS 35.240.80 and ISO 27799:2008.
