Background

All national economies are now facing a continuing

challenge due to a growing demand with finite resources

By sharing similar purposes - improving health care quality

and efficiency - the boundaries between health economics and health informatics have become less and less clear

Biomedical Informatics

Health informatics as a

multidisciplinary field that applies knowledge from information science, computer science and social science, to study the information and communication systems in healthcare, with the ultimate aim of improving health care quality and efficiency

SLIDE 4

Healthcare Economics

Health economics is a

branch of economics concerned with issues related to efficiency, effectiveness, value and behaviour in the production and consumption of health and healthcare.

How health economics can enable physicians and researchers to test new hypotheses and identify new

pportunities of

innovation

Key takeaways

To health informatics researchers: talk to health economists

more frequently to seeks “causal” interpretability of results!

To health economists: reach to health informatics researcher

more often to explore the ability of large-scale integration and analysis of the heterogeneous health informatics data sources when answering big economic questions!

Always consider adding a health economic component to your

health informatics research, making the outcome more impactful!
