Accurate
Usually, before the development of health informatics system,
patients data are stored and retrieved manually which needs the
hospital staff to recollect and update about the data. By using health
informatics system, the way of storing and retrieving information is
much more systematic. This is actually more accurate than the
recollection of a patient for details of existing medications and
allergies. This is also important for the patients safety. Patients may be
confused or misunderstand about their health problem and may give
the wrong or incomplete information which can lead to the more
severe effects. Therefore, having such accurate information provided
at the point where it is needed is necessary.

Efficient
In a health informatics system, various departments in the hospital for
example, the radiology, laboratory, surgery or administrative
departments are interconnected. The data of a patient are being
shared which makes the duplication of efforts is reduced and speeds
up diagnostic processes. A patients hospital stay need not be

extended unnecessarily. This time-saving factor is especially important

with the increasingly growing health care needs.

Improve patient care

Health informatics system is not only just allows storage and retrieval
of information, but it can also become a decision-making tool. In the
system, there are computerised guidelines about the diseases which
can be helpful for clinicians and patients to make better decisions. So,
high quality treatment can be maintained. Besides, there is lesser time
taken on the administrative works which helps the doctors and other
health professionals to spare more time on the patients.
Paperless technology
By using the system, less paper are needed to record the patients
data. This data also are no need to be recorded repeatedly as all the
information is safely saved by the system. It reduces wastage. This is
good for our environment as we can save much more tree on this
planet.

In algriculture, bioinformatics can be used to increase and modified the

crops to be more resistance to surrounding conditions by altering the
genetic makeup.
