Ethics in health Informatics

Health informatics (HI), an emerging healthcare discipline that combines big data and medical practice, utilizes health information technology (IT) systems to analyze patient data and devise improved solutions. Health informatics professionals, also known as informaticians, use data in beneficial ways to improve healthcare delivery, reduce costs related to healthcare, curtail errors, and identify public health trends.

Alongside the benefits it facilitates, big data also pses genuine risks. Health information aggregation simplifies access to patient data by storing it in a centralized infrastructure, raising obvious concerns about privacy and related issues.
