'''Health informatics''' is a discipline at the intersection of [[informatics]], [[healthcare]], and [[health information technology]]. It deals with the resources, devices, and methods required to optimize the acquisition, storage, retrieval, and use of information in health and biomedicine. Health informatics tools include not only computers but also clinical guidelines, formal medical terminologies, and information and communication systems.<br />
<br />
== Overview ==<br />
<br />
Health informatics is applied to the areas of [[nursing]], [[clinical care]], [[dentistry]], [[pharmacy]], [[public health]], [[occupational therapy]], [[physical therapy]], [[biomedical research]], and [[alternative medicine]], all of which are designed to improve the overall of effectiveness of patient care delivery. It is often used to describe the use of technology and data to transform healthcare.<br />
