Abstract

This chapter, titled “Environmental Health,” expands the lens to global environmental health, analyzing how climate change, pollution, and ecological disruption exacerbate disease burdens in LMICs. It argues that interoperable EHR systems can support environmental health monitoring by linking clinical data with geospatial and exposure metrics. The chapter also discusses ethical considerations in data collection and use, particularly in marginalized communities disproportionately affected by environmental hazards.
