I haven't posted in a few days, I have been so busy with my Informatics program homework! I wanted to share the program for you, because somebody asked me "what the heck is informatics?".
Informatics is the study of computers, people, and data, and how to search for and interpret the data. There is clinical data, obviously, like electronic health records, and business data, like billing records sent back and forth to health insurance companies or medicare and medicaid using Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). My focus is on health care business intelligence, or data searching and interpretation of health business data to facilitate actionable business decisions. I'm focusing on how the new business insights that can be generated from the new EHRs from the recent health care reform laws. My that does sound academic!
Here is a link to Iowa's Informatics program, it's a short video on the program:
