Harold P. Lehmann

Abstract

Abstract Informatics is the use of information technology, broadly conceived, to advance a domain of work or inquiry. Concerns within informatics divide into system, role, function, workflow, information repository, information tools, standards, and technology. Individual efforts go through four phases: model formulation, system development, system installation, and study of effects. Areas within health sciences informatics include medical informatics, nursing informatics, public health informatics, and statistics informatics.
