- Title
Healthcare Informatics Research: From Data to Evidence-Based Management.
- Authors
Wan, Thomas T. H.
- Abstract
Healthcare informatics research is a scientific endeavor that applies information science, computer technology, and statistical modeling techniques to develop decision support systems for improving both health service organizations' performance and patient care outcomes. The analytical strategies include (1) the formulation of a data warehouse for exploration, (2) data mining, (3) the application of confirmatory statistical analysis, (4) simulation via an interface with computer and information system technologies, and (5) translational research. Healthcare informatics research will help to direct evidence-based strategic management.
