The Intersection of Healthcare and Computer Science #infographic

Published by Web Desk Friday, December 5, 2014

Data is gathered all the time for computer science and marketing purposes, through tools like computer algorithms and simulation software, but did you know that the same research tools are used every day to enhance just about every aspect of how healthcare is administered today? This infographic from the University of Illinois at Chicago outlines some of the ways that data-gathering tools are used to improve healthcare.

It also goes on to outline some of the different fields within health informatics, including where you can work outside of healthcare with these skills and the annual salary that people in this field receive. While many people don’t realize it, these tools are essential in providing patient-centered care that predicts, prevents, and treats illnesses and conditions most efficiently. With today’s technology and computer systems, it’s easier than ever to sort through endless streams of data to discover the root of an issue.
