Role of Health Informatics in Public Health Surveillance and Response

Abstract

Health informatics functions as a vital resource which improves the quality of public health monitoring together with response activities. Health informatics combines EHRs with mHealth and GIS alongside AI to assist rapid disease recognition and create data-based choices that produce effective public health intervention programs. The research evaluates the significance of informatics systems for disease outbreak tracking alongside their capacity to share information in real-time and develop forecasting capabilities. Successful surveillance systems demand the ability to bring together various health data and make them work together seamlessly. The global health response receives ongoing broader strength from digital health infrastructure improvements despite data fragmentation and technological gaps. Modern public health strategies need health informatics since it helps organizations act proactively and collaborate better in managing current health threats while boosting population health results.
