Executive Summary
The integration of technology in healthcare delivery has led to significant advancements, particularly through the application of bioinformatics. Bioinformatics facilitates the use of technology and data to enhance healthcare services, improve decision-making, and implement effective policies and practices. The COVID-19 pandemic, which caused widespread acute respiratory infections, highlighted the need for a better understanding of disease transmission and prevention.
Analyzing large patient data sets is crucial to identifying risk factors that contribute to the spread of infections (Meng et al., 2020). Research indicates that individuals with multiple severe health conditions are more vulnerable to COVID-19. Therefore, bioinformatics plays a crucial role in identifying trends, improving interventions, and enhancing healthcare outcomes.

One of the key advancements in healthcare technology is the use of Best Practice Advisory (BPA) alerts and Clinical Decision Support (CDS) systems. These systems have contributed significantly to improving patient health outcomes. Many healthcare facilities utilize CDS tools like BPA to send timely alerts to patients regarding their medical conditions (Baumgart, 2020).
The integration of Electronic Health Records (EHR) allows healthcare professionals to access patient data and make informed decisions. BPA alerts, typically delivered through pop-ups, serve as reminders for patients to adhere to their treatments. This proactive approach not only benefits patients by ensuring they receive timely care but also aids healthcare institutions in reducing hospital readmission rates. The use of these technological interventions underscores the importance of digital solutions in enhancing healthcare efficiency and patient well-being.
