Rafiuddin Mohammed, Ahmed Albarrak.


Abstract
Health informatics in Saudi Arabia has experienced significant growth and development over the past few decades, driven by the country’s commitment to modernizing its healthcare system and improving the quality of healthcare services. Saudi Arabia’s commitment to digital transformation in healthcare positions it for continued progress in the field of health informatics. This literature review explored the key aspects of health informatics in Saudi Arabia, including the adoption of electronic health records (EHRs), the expansion of telemedicine, the establishment of health information exchange (HIE) networks, healthcare analytics, infrastructure development, regulations, education and training, research and innovation, challenges, public health initiatives, and patient engagement. With a tech-sawy population, government commitment, and rapid adoption of digital health technologies, Saudi Arabia is well-positioned for significant growth in health informatics. This promises a bright future for healthcare in the country, marked by improved patient care, enhanced healthcare quality, and better public health outcomes.

Key words: Health Informatics, Saudi Arabia, Telemedicine, Electronic Health Records, Health Information Exchange.
