Healthcare InformaticsHealthcare informatics involves the application of information technology to the management and use of healthcare data in areas such as clinical decision-making, healthcare delivery, and health system administration. It encompasses electronic health records, clinical data analytics, health information exchange, and digital health system integration.In an Australian insurance context, healthcare informatics may give rise to risks relating to data accuracy, system interoperability, and the integrity of clinical information shared between systems. Professional liability issues can arise where informatics failures contribute to incorrect patient information being relied on in clinical decisions, while cyber liability may respond to data breaches or unauthorised access to health information.From a risk and coverage perspective, relevant considerations can include compliance with Australian health information privacy requirements, responsibility for data quality and accuracy, system security against cyber threats, and appropriate access controls. As healthcare informatics supports large-scale clinical operations, system failures may have widespread impacts across patient populations.
