Informatics
An emerging trend is evolving from the integration of the health science and information technology fields. This movement is a result of the national accountable care system for comprehensive health reform in the United States. Sometimes termed Health Informatics, Health IT, is transforming systems where medical practitioners become IT savvy and vice versa. As a result, the evolution of electronic records includes preparing a workforce trained in information management systems, health care organizational systems, data entry, acquisition and management, and workflow design to align with public health policy and direct patient care.
