Crisis Management in Healthcare: Guiding Nursing Professionals and Midwives to Optimize Informatics for Enhanced Health Surveillance, Effective Communication, and Sterilization Practices

Abstract

Healthcare crisis management necessitates the integration of informatics to guide nursing professionals and midwives in enhancing health surveillance, effective communication, and sterilization practices. This paper explores the intersection of crisis management principles and healthcare informatics, emphasizing the roles of nurses and midwives in ensuring quality care during crises. By leveraging informatics tools for health surveillance, professionals can identify emerging threats, implement evidence-based interventions, and maintain aseptic conditions to minimize risks of infection. Effective communication frameworks are analyzed to optimize team coordination and stakeholder engagement. Additionally, the importance of robust sterilization protocols is highlighted as a cornerstone of infection control in healthcare settings. Challenges such as workforce shortages, resource limitations, and ethical dilemmas are addressed, alongside innovations in technology and interdisciplinary collaboration to strengthen crisis response systems. This study underscores the pivotal role of informatics in bridging gaps in healthcare delivery and promoting resilience against crises.
