Health
informatics also called health care informatics, medical informatics, using
informatics, clinical informatics or biomedical informatics. It is informatics
in health care. It is a multidisciplinary
field that uses health information
technology (HIT) to improve health care via any combination
of higher quality, higher efficiency (spurring lower cost and thus greater
availability), and new opportunities. The disciplines involved include information science, computer science, social science, behavioral science, management science,
etc.

The
NLM
defines health informatics as “the interdisciplinary study of the design,
development, adoption and application of IT-based innovations in healthcare
services delivery, management and planning. It deals with the resources,
devices, and methods required to optimize the acquisition, storage, retrieval,
and use of information in health and biomedicine. Health informatics
tools include amongst others computers, clinical guidelines,
formal medical terminologies, and information and communication systems.

Health
informatics is the study of resources and methods for the management of health
information. This area of study supports health information technology,
medical practice, medical research and medical informatics. Health informatics
involves systems such as electronic health records and electronic medical
records. Health informatics technology includes the electronics and information
technology used during the course of patient care.
