Managing the COVID-19 Pandemic with Health Informatics: Practice in China
ABSTRACT
The COVID-19 epidemic poses an enormous challenge to the global health system, and governments have taken active preventive and control measures. Health informatics community in China has taken active actions to leverage health information technologies for epidemic monitoring, detecting, early warning, preventing and controlling and other work. In this study, we develop a technical framework responding to the COVID-19 epidemic from a health informatics perspective. Based on the framework, we review specific HIT practices for managing the outbreak in China, describe the highlight applications in detail, and finally discuss critical issues to consider on HIT using. Practice in China shows that health information technologies play a pivotal role in responding to the COVID-19 epidemic.
