Medical Informatics – what is it and why should I care?
Medical or Health Informatics is the use of information to solve clinical or health care problems.
It covers the storage, retrieval and sharing of medical information and therefore is closely tied to developments in computing and in telecommunications, such as web, audio and video software and the development of the internet.
Accurate patient records, the latest in medical research and techniques, and evidence-based best practice are available through computerised systems.
Medical informatics will make a difference to you, as a medical student
today and for the rest of your career, because the resources can expand
your knowledge base considerably and help you ensure the best possible
outcome for your patients.
