Description

Health Information (HI) is based on a wide range of data such as survey or administrative data, and is frequently secondary analyzed and translated into health reporting products. HI products are primarily aimed at scientific communities, policymakers, and the general public with the goal of informing research, influencing policies and shaping population-level health behavior. HI aids in the creation and assessment of tailored and needs health promotion, disease prevention, and health-care delivery interventions. As a result, it is an important part of the public health action cycle. HI can influence health policies it can be used to assess policies and interventions. At the same time, it may highlight new challenges that require additional political and or scientific attention. HI must achieve two goals in order to appropriately support population health and eliminate health inequalities. It must provide information on key population health needs including health determinants as well as the effectiveness of governmental and health-care solutions to these needs. As a result when HI, special care must be paid to the selection and prioritizing of indicators that will provide this data. Some HI goals aren't determined by national priorities, but rather by international reporting standards that necessitate the delivery of data. Furthermore, national HI priorities may be determined by a range of factors from illness burden calculations to media-induced attention for specific public health issues. As a result, national public health institutes and other organizations that must comply with national reporting standards must react to requests for data from a variety of decision-makers.

The development of HI is based on population health monitoring and health system evaluation. Though health data is at the foundation of population health monitoring, following that data is gathered depending on the needs specified in the strategy. A health information strategy that addresses contentrelated choices would thus be the best instrument for prioritizing HI issues and as a result, initiating indicator and data collection, ensuring that data is collected in accordance with the recognized HI needs. Despite the importance of incorporating populationhealth monitoring into a health information strategy there is little research and documentation on national policies or formal approaches for HI prioritizing. To keep our research focused, we only looked at the prioritizing of HI for national health reporting, despite the fact that different stakeholders at the national, regional, and local levels may contribute health data for different target populations or services.

The use of medical information technology for elderly care is a new approach in health care. In fact, the use of information technology for the diagnosis, treatment and health monitoring of the elderly is because they often turn to health centres and require more health services than other age groups, especially in emergency services. In the emergency department, the speed of diagnosis and treatment is important, and the use of information technology can help speed up related processes and improve access to information for decision making.

The results of this study show that emergency department information systems are one of the most important medical information technologies used in hospitals to support healthcare delivery. The emergency department information system contributes to better management of different patient populations, including the elderly, by providing timely access to important information .The data recorded in the emergency department's information system can help identify threat factors and the elderly at risk for a variety of illnesses and health conditions. The results of another study show that the use of different health information systems in the emergency department can analyse structured data such as key complaints, medical history, allergies, medications, and use it for more accurate classification and care planning. In addition, a secondary analysis of emergency medical data for the elderly helps policy makers better understand the needs of this patient group and provide better medical services.

A variety of medical information technologies are used by the elderly in emergency care, but this area offers a valuable opportunity to develop new information systems that can be integrated with current technologies to speed up the treatment process for this group of patients. Health policy makers should be informed about innovation and how new technologies can be used to improve health care. The results of current studies can actually be used to reduce patient admission and readmission into the emergency department. This reduces the workload of staff, improves the quality of care and patient satisfaction, and manages resources more effectively.
