Clinical informatics conveys the understanding and integration of information technology into healthcare to ensure the effective provision and to support the business objectives of clinicians in healthcare industries. Nursing informatics applies information technology to the work of nurses in healthcare. Medical informatics is the name given to the application of information technology to medicine.
The HIMSS focus is on the community, and the role of the professionals that work in that community.
The HIMSS Nursing Informatics community focuses on the application of technology to nurses jobs and their work to deliver, supervise, administer, and teach about patient care.
The HIMSS Pharmacy Informatics community focuses on application of technology for pharmacists in supporting, streamlining, improving their workflow, and increasing patient safety with best practices and reliable systems.
Community information, publications on strategies for success and current news are among the clinical informatics resources that you will find in this area.
