Welcome to Population Health & Informatics, where our goal is to provide researched information to help extend the life expectancy of the people we can assist. Our information can come from:
qualitative research,
quantitative research,
global research,
or other research methods.
With our research, medical care facilities, whether they are primary care, secondary care, tertiary care, quaternary care, acute care, transitional care, or long-term care facilities, will have a blueprint of ways to provide better quality of care to where patients will be able to entrust us with their health again without fear of obtaining a healthcare-associated infection, otherwise called a nosocomial infection. Common questions that are asked are, “What is the informatics definition?” or “What are hospital hospital-acquired infections?” The study of informatics embodies more than one science, so there is no universal definition. Some sources may list definitions that define informatics as simply a computer science, whereas other resources give the informatics definition as being an interdisciplinary science including computer science, public health, engineering, cognitive science, biostatistics, information science, and data science (e.g., HIMSS (2017) https://www.bing.com/search?q=informatics+is+interdisciplinary&cvid=88ae8f3a33d54827a250710b128da302&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOdIBCTIxMzkyajBqNKgCCLACAQ&PC=HCTS&FPIG=8F6A038A3F3B43109D07A7FAAC92A7AC&first=11&FORM=PQRE); Institute Data (2024) What Is Data Science and Informatics? | Institute of Data (institutedata.com)) .
While services we provide would not fit the definition of an infection preventionist, research by Population Health & Informatics for minimizing hospital-acquired infections does provide the information and data used for infection prevention. To answer what a hospital-acquired infection is, simply stated, it is an infection the patient gets while in the hospital that they were not originally admitted for. While there are no specific quantities for the number of hospital-acquired infections (HAI) last year (2023), data from Healthcare Surfaces Institute reveal that 1 of every 25 patients (or 4% or ~ 1.7 million) are at risk of getting an HAI, and as many as 99,000 (Healthcare-Associated Infection Statistics - Healthcare Surfaces Institute) may be fatal!
End users can also use this site for coaching services to improve their health through health coaching sessions that are customized for each person. Population Health & Informatics coach sessions enable people to learn recent updates that they can selectively choose without feeling forced. Some changes may include exercising more, or just altering eating habits. If the individual needs some physical exercise, they can be creative and use what works that they are comfortable with, or they can visit 31 Modified (31 Modified Fitness Challenge | Wildish Women) or one that may be better suited for them.
