What is Health Informatics?


     When someone considers nursing, they think about the standard routines; how to give needles, take someone’s blood pressure, how to assess someone etc. What I didn’t realize and what I think most people forget to consider is how society is slowly shifting towards more technological advances being used in the work field. Using these tools has various advantages when we provide health care. When it comes to considering this, there are other things we need to reflect on, such as privacy. Privacy and ethical practice was the topic for Week 3 in my Health Informatics Within Nursing course.
