👉 Clinic computing, also known as clinical informatics or healthcare informatics, refers to the application of information technology and data management techniques within healthcare settings to improve patient care, enhance clinical workflows, and support medical decision-making. It involves the use of electronic health records (EHRs), clinical decision support systems, telemedicine platforms, and other digital tools to collect, store, analyze, and share patient data securely. By integrating these technologies, clinic computing aims to streamline processes such as diagnosis, treatment planning, and patient monitoring, ultimately leading to better health outcomes, increased efficiency, and reduced costs in healthcare delivery. Clinicians and healthcare professionals use these tools to access comprehensive patient histories, receive real-time alerts and recommendations, and collaborate more effectively with interdisciplinary teams.
