Public health, health informatics, and healthcare systems references

Which reference fits your course?

Public health and population health references shift attention from individual encounters toward groups, prevention, and the organization of care. A health behavior text is a more specific choice when your module focuses on explaining or influencing behavior. Policy and law texts provide another lens and should be matched to the jurisdiction of your course.

Informatics references concern information and digital systems in health professions. Coding manuals have a distinct operational purpose and are tied to a publication year. A 2024 coding reference can support work with that year, but it should not be presented as the current coding authority for a later year.
