Health (Medical) Informatics

Simplistic definition: Medical informatics is the application of

computers, communications and information technology and systems to all fields of medicine - medical care, medical education and medical research. MF Collen, MEDINFO '80, Tokyo

Health (Medical) Informatics

Medical informatics is the rapidly developing scientific field that deals with resources, devices and formalized methods for optimizing the storage, retrieval and management of biomedical information for problem solving and decision making.Edward Shortliffe, M.D., Ph.D. What is medical informatics? Stanford University, 1995.

Health (Medical) Informatics

Medical Informatics is the branch of science concerned with the use of computers and communication technology to acquire, store, analyze, communicate, and display medical information and knowledge to facilitate understanding and improve the accuracy, timeliness, and reliability of decision-making. Warner, Sorenson and Bouhaddou, Knowledge Engineering

in Health Informatics, 1997

The Case of Betsy A. Lehman

“How long, Oh Lord, must this continue? …That’s 21 years ago…Isn’t it time that

basic computerization be part of the expected, and required, care at medical

facilities?”
