Public Health Informatics: Designing for change - a developing country perspective is a textbook that examines health information systems across low- and middle-income countries. It explores the design, development, and implementation of systems intended to support healthcare delivery in settings that face ongoing resource constraints.
The volume addresses fundamental operational challenges, such as sub-adequate data and system interoperability, while evaluating practical approaches to resolve them. It also considers how developing nations can effectively guide and shape their future health information systems.
Drawing on case studies that examine the successes and failures of diverse country programs, the text provides guidance for an interdisciplinary audience of software developers, public health practitioners, and researchers.
