Health information exchangefrom

Refers to the electronic transmission and dissemination of health care information between organizations within a region or community. Technological developments registered at the level of health informatics have led to the ability to electronically transmit clinical data between different medical information systems without any changes. The degree of exchange has been extended to the national level. In this way, clinicians can integrate their independent records to create flexible, patient-centered electronic health records that result in higher levels of patient safety and information exchange.

Collecting electronic processes and communicating support for healthcare practices. This type of system includes a wide range of services that slowly remove the separation line between medicine and information technology. Among these services, telemedicine, electronic medical records, consumer health informatics, virtual medical teams, and health knowledge management can be included.

Electronic public health systemfrom

It embodies another application of health informatics, this time in the public domain. Its function must meet the public health requirements of improving the health of the community and the entire population. Through the system, assess community health and take appropriate action. Collecting, analyzing, interpreting and communicating results is the main process carried out within the electronic public health system. Technologies used in such systems include geographic information systems [GIS], data mining methods, and data warehousing.
