Health Informatics

Someone today asked me to explain Health Informatics since I have that listed as my career on Facebook.  I thought I would share with you since I thought it was kinda clever!

Health Informatics. I like to explain kinda like this.

In the Academic world: how can this software (or system) create better outcomes for the patient (and increase the profit margin for the hospital)

In the Hospital world: how can this software (or system) make the nurses happy (and increase the profit margin for the hospital)

In the Business world: how can this software (or system) make the doctors happy (and increase their profit margin)
