Introduction to Health Informatics

Health Care System - In need of a Revolutionary Change!

The present Health care scenario in India requires a considerable revamp. As being a medical professional I can identify some key findings. The health care system requires major makeover in many aspects but currently I would cite a domain which is in the embryonic phase of development in India. The segment is none other than Health Informatics. This name is a broader terminology in itself and encompasses various subjects in it. It consists of various subsets such as Medical Informatics, Clinical Informatics, and Public Health Informatics etc.

        The word ‘Informatics’ is self explanatory, it is obviously related to Information. Health Informatics involves the Health care branch in it. In simple technical terms it’s the application of Information Technology in the discipline of Health care. Health Informatics is most frequently known as Health Care or Medical Informatics.
