Abstract

The health information management (HIM) field's contribution to health care delivery is invaluable in a pandemic context where the need for accurate diagnoses will hasten responsive, evidence-based decision-making. The COVID-19 pandemic offers a unique opportunity to transform the practice of HIM and bring more awareness to the role that frontline workers play behind the scenes in safeguarding reliable, comprehensive, accurate, and timely health information. This transformation will support future research, utilization management, public health surveillance, and forecasting and enable key stakeholders to plan and ensure equitable health care resource allocation, especially for the most vulnerable populations. In this paper, we juxtapose critical health literacy, public policy, and HIM perspectives to understand the COVID-19 infodemic and new opportunities for HIM in infodemic management.

COVID-19 错误信息时代的卫生知识普及、公平与传播:卫生信息专业人员在信息管理中的出现。
健康信息管理(HIM)领域对提供医疗保健服务的贡献在大流行病的背景下显得弥足珍贵,因为大流行病需要准确的诊断来加速做出反应迅速、以证据为基础的决策。COVID-19 大流行为转变健康信息管理实践提供了一个独特的机会,并使人们进一步认识到一线工作者在保护可靠、全面、准确和及时的健康信息方面所发挥的幕后作用。这种转变将为未来的研究、使用管理、公共卫生监测和预测提供支持,并使主要利益相关者能够制定计划,确保医疗资源的公平分配,尤其是对最弱势人群而言。在本文中,我们将重要的健康知识、公共政策和 HIM 观点并列起来,以了解 COVID-19 信息疫情和 HIM 在信息疫情管理方面的新机遇。
