Internationally, the International Medical Informatics Association defines Health informatics as the science and practice of data, information, and knowledge to support the improvement of human health and healthcare delivery. The United States National Library of Medicine defines health informatics as, “the interdisciplinary study of the design, development, adoption and application of IT-based innovations in healthcare services delivery, management and planning.” Definitions also evolve over time and from the perspective of different professional organizations. “Interdisciplinary field that studies and pursues the effective uses of biomedical data, information, and knowledge for scientific inquiry, problem solving and decision making, motivated by efforts to improve human health” AMIA - American Medical Informatics Association 2011 Personalize the Patient Journey
Digital Health “...the field of knowledge and practice associated with any aspect of adopting digital technologies to improve health, from inception to operation”

As you progress beyond the introduction to explore new horizons, it may seem overwhelming.
Yet, the key is to discover what you find most valuable and contribute. A few thoughts as you embark on this journey. I Can Do This… "Ignite individuals and ideas... Introduce initiative, imagination, innovation ... Integrate industrialists and intuitives... Interact as interested and interesting... Invigorate inquisitive, intellectual insights... Influence ingenious impact with integrity... Impress with indestructible inspiration" Linda Travis Macomber |
- "The road from technology to health is paved with great promise and at times great perils.
- Yet, with persistence, the potential emerges on the horizon as pioneering plans. - Then, pilots project progress into amazing performances on humanity's grand stage. - Health tech success may initially be measured in tech bytes or venture capital dollars - Perils are possible and ethics must prevail to reduce risks for hacking humanity. - Yet, Technology can inspire humanity to achieve what was previously impossible" - Ultimately it is about not giving up on the promise of people working together - to extend the years in our lives and enrich the life in our years.
