    abstract = "Daily, people are being exposed to an enormous amount of Covid-19 information, but not all of it is reliable. This phenomenon seriously affects the public health  policy effectiveness, because there is a lot of misleading or inaccurate  information, which is spreading rapidly and makes it more difficult to restrict the  pandemic. Healthcare informatics has emerged as a diverse and important new field.  Healthcare informatics applications are becoming more and more popular and are  providing easy access to new sources of knowledge. This way, the quality of patient  care will improve and productivity will increase. However, people should also learn  how to navigate this infodemic properly."
