What is Community Health Applications
Community Health Applications refer to the use of digital
tools, software, and platforms designed to support the health
and well-being of communities. These applications are
tailored to collect, analyze, and use health data to address
the unique needs of a specific community, improving public
health outcomes.
Overview
Collective term for the methodical application of
information science and technology to community
and public health process.
Focuses on the health information system of the
community, it is centered on the majority part of
the public.
Emphasizes the prevention of the disease, medical
intervention and public awareness.
Fulfils a unique role in the community, promoting
and protecting the health of the community at the
same time maintaining sustainability and integrity
of health data and information.
GOAL OF
COMMUNITY HEALTH
INFORMATICS
Effective and timely assessment that
involves monitoring and tracking the
healthstatus of populations including
identifying and controlling disease
outbreaks andepidemics.
Community Health
Nursing
Comprehensive care directed
towards the majority of individuals,
families, and thecommunity at
large.
COMMUNITY HEALTH
APPLICATION SYSTEM
Encourages optimal application of
computer system, computer programs and
communication system for the benefit of
majority of individuals, families and
community.
PRIMARY FOCUS OF COMMUNITY
HEALTH INFORMATION SYSTEM
Preventing, identifying, investigating and eliminating communicable health problems.
Accessibility of data and information, through communication
Educating and empowering individuals to adopt health life style
Facilitate the retrieval of data
Effective transformation of data into information
Effective integration of information to other disciplined to concretized knowledge and
creates better understanding.
Creation of computerized patient records, medical information system
Central repositions of all data such as data warehouse
Simple Graphical User Interface (GUI) for nurses and other healthcare provider, patient and
consumer
COMPUTER BASED SURVEY SYSTEM
Health Statistical Surveys
They are used to collect quantitative
information about items in a population to
establish certain information from the obtained
data.
Focused on opinions or factual information
depending on it’s purpose and many surveys
involves administering questions to individuals.

NURSING INFORMATICS: COMMUNITY
HEALTH APPLICATION
Nursing informatics plays a vital role in community
healthcare by improving collaboration between doctors,
community health providers, and patients.
It helps monitor and track the health status of the
community, allowing health workers to update patient
profiles quickly without extensive paperwork. This
efficiency supports timely assessments and helps identify
and control disease outbreaks.
NURSING INFORMATICS: COMMUNITY
HEALTH APPLICATION
Key benefits include:
Easier Disease Tracking
Quickly identifies and tracks the spread of illnesses.
Better Communication
Strengthens teamwork among healthcare providers.
Improves communication between patients and
providers.
Traditional methods of recording health information can take
weeks. Using this kind of system can significantly enhance the
speed and effectiveness of managing community health data.
COMMUNITY HEALTH AND INFORMATICS
Public health agencies are on the front line of preventing
epidemics. But they also do much more than that in the
communities they serve, and their work is being informed by
technology that allows information to be collected and analyzed in
new ways.
Public health agencies monitor the health of their communities by
doing the following:
Setting priorities based on potential health problems, and
developing strategies and policies to address them.
Identifying and serving specific groups at risk for health
problems, ranging from suicide prevention and nutrition to
specific diseases
COMMUNITY HEALTH AND INFORMATICS
Public health agencies monitor the health of their communities by
doing the following:
Promoting healthy behavions
Providing disease prevention services, such as immunization
Tracking and preventing the spread of epidemics
Handling disaster prevention and recovery
Protecting against environmental hazard
Protecting against wide-scale threats, induding bioterrorism
Ensuring access to appropriate and cost-effective car
COMMUNITY HEALTH AND INFORMATICS
Public health agencies moollar the health of their communises
by doing the following:
Evaluating the effectiveness of available care
COMMUNITY HEALTH AND INFORMATICS
To meet these needs, health officials must monitor a broad
range of information to asanas potential risks and community
needs. Public health tracking dates back to 1854 when a British
doctor by the name of John Snow tracked cholera deaths in
London and traced the outbreak to a single water pump.
Today, public health officials review disease case reports
and other information to identify trends and plan responses
Technology is allowing far more data to be collected from
more sources, creating new opportunities to monitor the
needs of the community in more effective ways
COMMUNITY HEALTH AND INFORMATICS
Health informatics involves collecting data and applying
analytics that can reveal trends quickly enough to prevent
epidemics or other negative health situations. Among the
community health data that can be collected to identify these
trends:
Absences from work or school
Purchases of health-care products, including specific types
of over-the-counter and prescription medications
Symptoms reported to medical providers
Emergency room admissions
Lab test orders
Vital statistics from state and local governments
COMMUNITY HEALTH AND INFORMATICS
Health informatics involves collecting data and applying
analytics that can reveal trends quickly enough to prevent
epidemics or other negative health situations. Among the
community health data that can be collected to identify these
trends:
Financial data
Internet searches for symptoms of infectious disease such
as the flu
Facility data
nternet searches for symptoms of infectious disease such
as the flu
COMMUNITY HEALTH AND INFORMATICS
Informatics is allowing public health officials to
collect and analyze this data more quickly and
efficiently. Emerging data exchange systems
will increasingly allow community health
officials to share public health information with
their counterparts elsewhere in their region so
that information about health threats will
spread more quickly.
COMMUNITY HEALTH AND INFORMATICS
Ultimately, regional health information
exchanges could lead to the creation of a
comprehensive national public health network.
In 2005, the Centers for Disease Control created
the National Center for Public Health
Informatics (NCPHI) to encourage the growth of
such networks.
COMMUNITY HEALTH AND INFORMATICS
For the full promise of public health informatics to be realized,
data need to be standardized so that they can be exchanged across
these networks. Public health officials need to lead the adoption of
informatics by doing the following:
Developing and using standards
Managing computer system development and implementation
Communicating across sectors
Conducting research
Developing public health information systems
Supporting the use of informatics
Ensuring confidentiality, security, and integrity
Conducting education and training
