Health Informatics
Definition: The study, development, and implementation of computer science, information science, and healthcare.
Improves: communication, understanding and management of medical information.
Used: in nursing, dentistry, pharmacy, clinical care, public health, and biomedical research.
Objective: to gather all information about the patients to be stored and retrieved in an easier manner, making it less expensive to deal with.

THE HISTORY BEHIND IT
1949: first seen by Gustav Wager in Germany.
1960’s: training programs in France and throughout Europe until it reached the United States ten years later.
1980’s: the practitioners used several computers on the same patient database.
1995: networked computers and databases began to facilitate free-flowing health care information.
Currently: a necessary tool to have in just about every health care facility.

AROUND THE GLOBE
Australia, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, and the United Kingdom: they have spent their focus on developing an Electronic Medical Record.
South Africa and the United States: many struggles related to developing a unique patient identifier.
All: using smart card technology by their patients to receive their medical information.
