Designing and implementing informatics requires input from systems and staff members. In this case, the systems include the specific technologies that support staff members to perform logical functions. There are a range of systems that are required to complete these functions. Firstly, clinical decision support systems are necessary to support primary care provision through diagnosis, prevention and treatment efforts. They include prediction algorithms, reminders and e-tools. Secondly, personal health records that contain all the information collected during interactions between patients and medical personnel. Thirdly, telehealth and telemedicine systems that support self-care efforts without placing the patients in unnecessary risks. All the systems must support efforts to secure the information and ensure that only authorized persons can access the information. This is in line with confidentiality and autonomy expectations for patient information (Demiris & Kneale, 2015). Besides the mentioned systems, there are personnel who are needed to complete the logical health care functions. They are identified based on their interactions with informatics and knowledge levels. Firstly, creators who are proficient in programing and mathematics can address the technical needs, such as computer engineers, programmers and system analysts. They are engaged in informatics design and development. Secondly, administrators and operators who operate and manage the informatics systems on a daily basis, determine how they are used and access. They include trainers, help-desk/support analysts, database administrators, and operators. Thirdly, information managers and users who determine what the informatics results will be used for in terms of application. They include the information security officer, project manager, function manager and information officer (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2018).
