“Informatics is a term used in healthcare and life sciences to describe computerized information systems that support a variety of research based business intelligence and analysis requirements. We often hear the terms bioinformatics, medical informatics, health informatics, nursing informatics or clinical informatics to describe the business context in which “business intelligence” is used to analyze information derived from or for research activities. For a more comprehensive history and analysis of the use of informatics and its application in the health and life sciences, I encourage you to review Dr. William Hersh’s treatment of the subject (Hersh, 2009).”
