Health Informatics: Improving Care With Decision Support and Analysis

Health informatics - an emerging field at the intersection of information science, computer science and health care - deals with the resources, devices and methods required to optimize the acquisition, storage, retrieval and use of information in health and biomedicine. Health informatics has the potential to save lives and improve patient care by empowering patients with better information, giving physicians better decision-making tools, and improving the accuracy of disease identification.

CSC has wide experience in health informatics for state and international levels:

• CSC partnered with Blue Cross and Blue Shield to create the world's largest healthcare informatics data warehouse, called Blue Health Intelligence. Recognized by both BHI and industry as a one-of-a-kind solution, the BHI data warehouse will lead to greater healthcare transparency by delivering unmatched detail about trends and best practices.
• We worked with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to create the National Electronic Disease Surveillance System, which protects the nation's health by monitoring disease trends, quickly identifying and tracking infectious disease outbreaks, and thwarting bioterrorism attacks.
• In the UK, we're working to provide every National Health Service patient with a lifelong electronic care record.
• We also helped the Norwegian Health Ministry implement the Free Hospital Choice program, which creates national standards for quality of care.
• Our Web portal is helping the Belgian Ministry of Health collect medical data from hospitals across the country in an accurate, speedy and secure manner.
