SCOPE: TOPICS OF INTEREST INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED
TO, THE FOLLOWING:
PROLOGUE: Health
Informatics and Medical Systems is an important
area that is at
the intersection of information science, computer
science, social
science, behavioral science and health care. This
field is mainly
concerned with the resources, devices, and methods
required to
optimize the acquisition, storage, retrieval, processing
and use of
information in health and biomedicine. Health informatics
is driven by
computers, information and communication systems. It is
a
multi-disciplinary field that covers a wide spectrum of sub-fields.
It combines the
problem solving skills of computer scientists with
health care
professionals and health care givers. The list of topics
of interest that
appears below is by no means exhaustive.
