Population Health Informatics addresses the growing opportunity to leverage technology for implementing evidence-based solutions in improving population health outcomes. Unlike traditional texts that focus on hospital-centric approaches, this innovative first edition zeroes in on operationalizing informatics solutions to tackle significant public health challenges affecting individuals, families, communities, and their environments. The book employs a practical, step-by-step methodology to guide the implementation of data-driven population informatics strategies. Ideal for students of public health or interdisciplinary fields interested in population health informatics, this publication aligns with the Association of Schools and Programs of Public Health (ASPPH) recommendations for essential content in a 21st-century MPH curriculum. Key features include:
- Demonstrating how technology can strengthen preventive care efforts at the population level by bridging clinical care and health sciences.
- Providing practical insights into critical topics like big data, cloud computing, mobile health, surveillance, and visualization from an end-user perspective using straightforward language.
- Offering a grassroots approach to technology interventions and solutions, equipping students with the knowledge to address the needs of various health technology stakeholders.
