Informatica is crucial in epidemiology for several reasons: 1. Data Management: It helps manage large datasets that are essential for tracking disease patterns, outbreaks, and health trends. 2. Surveillance Systems: It enables the development and maintenance of disease surveillance systems that can detect and respond to health threats promptly. 3. Data Analysis: Advanced analytical tools can identify correlations, risk factors, and trends that are not immediately apparent. 4. Public Health Decision-Making: Provides evidence-based insights that inform policy-making and resource allocation.
