Health Informatics Resource

When I took my pre-self assessment for Health Informatics, I felt like some of the terminology was a complete foreign language. As we have found out thought out the course in class or online discussions, and from our book we have found it covers integrating health, computer, and information sciences to manage and communicate data, information, knowledge and wisdom of health care for patients and communities. I have found over the discussions and readings there are some things that I did actually have experience with. We are using this blog to post some resources that have been helpful to our education in health informatics. Besides our book which classmates have called our "Bible" and learning from classmates knowledge and experience; I found in my online quick searches a website that has been helpful. The National Health Institutes, National Library of Medicine has a section on health informatics. It gives links for data, tools, statistics, guidelines, journals and other publications. Hope you find it helpful if you get to a topic that you do not have experience with.
