 What are Medical Informatics, Anyway?
The term medical informatics dates from the second half of the 1970s and was borrowed from the French expression informatique médicale.
This was always the term primarily used for information science related to medicine in Europe; when it crossed the Atlantic in the 1960s, it became rapidly applied as a synonym for information science.
Before that time, other names were used (and are sometimes still in use), such as medical computer science, medical information science, computers in medicine, health informatics, and more specialized terms such as nursing informatics, dental informatics, and so on.
