What does an informatics analyst do?

As an informatics analyst, your responsibilities are to establish a system of applications and tools that an organization, usually in the health care industry, uses to record, organize, store, secure, and access data. There are several sub-specialties in this career, including nursing informatics analyst, clinical informatics analyst, and health informatics analyst. Your duties vary depending on the position and work environment. If your job is a nursing informatics analyst or clinical informatics analyst, you work with patient information, electronic health records (EHR), and data related to clinical operations. If you have an insurance-related position, you organize data related to claims and costs. There are also informatics analyst jobs in biomedical or other research industries, where you create systems to collect and organize research results.
