Talk:Health Informatics

I think the title should be Medical Informatics.

not a book; should be a wikipedia entry There may be a subject that is titled "Medical Informatics" but as this topic is defined as multidisciplinary, the title of this subject should not be "Medical Informatics." Medical with a capital "M" refers to the practice of medicine by those with M.D. or D.O. credentials and regulated by cfs state Boards of Medical Examiners. Medical informatics is a sub-field of medicine and of concern primarily to those in medical practice, research, or education. Health informatics is bigger than that. Health informatics belongs to many - including the general public - and refers to the structure, storage, access and retrieval, and use of health information derived from many perspectives and useful in achieving personally valued health and wellness goals. Medical informatics belongs to doctors. Health informatics belongs to everyone and is inclusive of a portion of Medical Informatics.
