Health Informatics >>

Health informatics is an emerging discipline concerned with the knowledge, skills and tools that enable information to be managed and used to support the delivery of healthcare and to promote health. The topic also encompasses numerous non-technical issues such as effective data governance, quality improvement and managing change.
