Healthcare Informatics
- Healthcare Informatics is a scientific approach to examining how healthcare information is collected, interpreted, communicated, and distributed.
- Our philosophy is that the purpose of healthcare informatics is to improve the healthcare process, the work of healthcare professionals, and the health of their patients.
- We believe that healthcare informatics expands well beyond the scope of computerized applications in healthcare, having people, not computers, at its core, and has a role throughout healthcare, from birth to death.
- We also believe that healthcare informatics is a multi-faceted discipline, encompassing medical and healthcare delivery, patient care and outcomes, and professional training and competency with its foundation in evidence based medicine.
- Foster Kerrison is the company principal, and holds a Master of Science degree, (with distinction), in Healthcare Informatics together with a post-graduate diploma in Medical Informatics.
