Many forms of data fall under the category of “health information.” This can be something specific to a single person, like a report detailing a child’s current white blood cell count, or information about a larger population, like a report that tracks how many people a facility treated for the flu this year. Whatever form it takes or through whichever process it is gathered, health information is an immensely valuable component of the health care process. If collected and analyzed properly, it can inspire innovative methods of treating illnesses or predicting future medical and patient issues before they occur. But for medical facilities to successfully utilize and interpret health information, they rely on the efforts of talented professionals working in health information management and health information technology.
