The field of public health informatics is constantly evolving to meet the demands of a very complex public health and healthcare delivery system the standard definition for a number of informatics fields. This informatics concept is based on a technological understanding of the healthcare system. Databases, decision-support tools, information systems, web portals and mobile devices, according to a technical perspective of informatics are the main tools for tackling complicated health challenges, enhancing care and minimising health inequities.Two interdependent pathways can be used to conceptualise public health informatics systems as a function of intelligence:
1 Developing Health Information Technology (HIT) policies that ensure our capacity to govern intelligence as a by-product and
2 Allowing innovations in HIT to shape and inform public health systems policy and practise to ensure that we govern intelligently.
In the first situation public health informatics experts work to develop HIT policy to direct national, state and local information architecture, information infrastructure and information integration efforts that in turn direct how public health addresses the needs of agents like patients/ families/health consumers, communities, providers/ healthcare organisations, researchers, policymakers and disease-centric communities of practise awareness of disease burden, the propagation of an outbreak, health alerts and product recalls, illness clusters, community needs assessments and health risk assessments can all be informed by such intelligence.
Public health informatics experts look for creative methods to use HIT to enhance governance by finding ways to expedite procedures that have a favourable influence on costs, standards, and overall health outcomes. We need to develop a standard set of analytical metrics and capabilities to guide our modelling, measuring and controlling of public health smartness as we approach the public health informatics era with terminology like learning health systems, smart health systems and adaptable complex health systems. Such a collection of measurements must consider the complete range of sociotechnical elements, including technical, organisational and human contributions that make up a public health system and influence performance.
It is crucial that we comprehend the fundamental forces behind smart systems which are here denoted by the terms "need to know" or "cognitive demand." The fundamental components of any smart system are our fundamental need to know and our corresponding attempt to use data, information and knowledge resources toward some specific or general set of goals and objectives. Professionals in public health informatics are well-positioned to redefine the value of more intelligent healthcare delivery and public health practise within the framework of a public health system. How modest improvements in intelligence translate into changes in public health performance can be shown using a standardised set of analytical measurements and skills that can drive efficiency and workable models. The terms organisational complexity, problem/issue complexity and situational awareness were established here as three interdependent drivers of the traits of smart public health systems. We also suggest seven measurements and capabilities for smart health systems that are thought to be crucial for a public health informatics professional's arsenal.
The growing body of literature that aims to provide standardised measurements for intelligent, learning and adaptable public health systems because this field of study and practise is still in its infancy the extremely intelligent health systems in our model of public health knowledge settings have the capacity to manage. A range of conceptual and graphical tools can be used to describe the pathways of changes in public health knowledge environment cognition. Such pathways can produce recurring patterns that, when observed and modelled, can be canonised as permanent or semipermanent cognitive routes toward system-level knowledge and learning health systems.
