What is Informatics?

Clinical informatics includes collecting, storing, retrieving, analyzing, and presenting data to achieve better health outcomes.

Veterinary clinical informatics is a rapidly evolving science that blends information technology, communications, social and behavioral science, and veterinary medicine, to improve the quality and safety of patient care.
