Health informatics

“Health informatics technology includes the electronics and information technology used during the course of patient care, a practice also known as clinical informatics” (Rouse, 2014).

has definitely since evolved from the BC writing back in ancient times to everything we have to date. Health informatics has also came a long ways. From no documentation what-so-ever, to hard copy documentation, and then to health information technology where the information is data collected and processed and organized in such a way making it “useful” (Davis & LaCour, 2014).
