Executive Summary
The incorporation of technology in healthcare has significantly advanced medical practices, with bioinformatics playing a pivotal role in enhancing healthcare services. By leveraging technology and data, bioinformatics supports improved decision-making, policy formulation, and the effective implementation of healthcare practices. The COVID-19 pandemic, characterized by widespread acute respiratory infections, underscored the necessity of understanding disease transmission and prevention strategies. Analyzing large datasets of patient information has become essential in identifying risk factors that contribute to the spread of infections (Meng et al., 2020). Research findings indicate that individuals with multiple severe health conditions are at a higher risk of contracting COVID-19, further emphasizing the importance of bioinformatics in identifying trends, refining interventions, and improving overall healthcare outcomes.

The advancement of healthcare technology has introduced systems such as Best Practice Advisory (BPA) alerts and Clinical Decision Support (CDS) tools, both of which significantly contribute to enhancing patient health outcomes. Many healthcare facilities implement CDS tools like BPA to provide timely alerts regarding patients’ medical conditions (Baumgart, 2020). The integration of Electronic Health Records (EHR) allows healthcare providers to access patient information efficiently, enabling informed decision-making. BPA alerts, often delivered through pop-up notifications, serve as reminders for patients to adhere to their treatment plans, ensuring continuity of care. This proactive approach benefits both patients and healthcare institutions by reducing hospital readmission rates. These technological interventions highlight the importance of digital solutions in optimizing healthcare efficiency and improving patient well-being.
