Biomedical Informatics

Biomedical informatics is an interdisciplinary field that combines computer science and information technology with healthcare to improve patient care, accelerate services and reduce healthcare costs. It uses data and knowledge to develop clinical decision support systems for healthcare professionals, assist in patient care management, foster new scientific discoveries through data mining, and improve public health outcomes. Biomedical informatics acts as a bridge between healthcare professionals and the complex medical systems they use, promoting the development and implementation of tailored, evidence-based strategies. By applying informatics tools, strategies, and systems, the healthcare sector can improve the quality of patient care and reduce its cost.
