NSG 3150 Healthcare Informatics
Week 1 Discussion 2
The term “informatics” seems to have a different meaning for many. This week we will learn about the role of informatics in healthcare. For this discussion please respond to each of the following prompts:
- How would you define the term informatics as it relates to healthcare?
- Ask two colleagues what the term healthcare informatics means to them and report on what they have stated.
- Review the term “informatics” in your textbook (Hebda, Hunter, & Czar, 2019) or a definition offered by another scholarly resource. Then, compare and contrast your perspective, the perspective of your colleagues, and the definition from the text by answering the following:
- How do the individual perspectives (yours and your colleagues) align with the textbook or scholarly resource definition?
- How are the individual perspectives (you and your colleagues) different than the textbook definition?
Note: If you have not received your textbooks at this time, please locate a scholarly source to provide a definition of the term “informatics.”
Please be sure to provide appropriate APA-formatted in-text citations and references to support your response.
