Translational Bioinformatics and Electronic Phenotyping

The Health informatics management (HIM) is the practice of obtaining, examining and preserving digital and traditional medical information vital to providing standard patient care. With the general computerization of health and medical records, paper-based records are being substituted with Electronic Health Records i.e. EHRs. The devices of health informatics and information technology are being increasingly utilized to initiate efficiency in information management practices in the health care sectors. Both hospital information systems i.e. "HIM" and health human resources information systems i.e. "HRHIS" are common applications of Health information management.
