信息学哲学博士-健康和医学信息学

医学信息学涉及理解和促进卫生保健中信息的有效组织，分析，管理和使用的各个方面。信息学计划的重点是健康信息技术。传统上，医学信息学通过开发和部署电子病历来支持医院的急诊护理。健康信息学是一个较新的术语，包括用于家庭慢性护理的信息管理，尤其是个人健康记录的开发和部署。该区域为与医疗保健基础设施（尤其是日常慢性病的人口管理）相关领域的学生提供支持。它包括国家医疗保健基础设施，例如便携式健康记录的开发。我们还将为希望调查公共卫生（例如传染病流行病学的人口管理）的学生提供支持。
Medical informatics is concerned with all aspects of understanding and promoting the effective organization, analysis, management, and use of information in health care. The emphasis in the informatics program is on health information technology. Medical Informatics has traditionally supported acute care in hospitals via development and deployment of electronic medical records. Health Informatics is a newer term including information management for chronic care in homes, particularly development and deployment of personal health records. This Area supports students in areas related to healthcare infrastructure, particularly population management of everyday chronic conditions. It includes national healthcare infrastructure, such as development of portable health records. We will also support students who wish to investigate public health, such as population management of infectious disease epidemiology.
