Excerpt

Over the past two decades, medical practice has become transformed by the digitization of medical data. This phenomenon was facilitated by the creation, refinement, and integration of medical information system technologies, which in turn led to the creation of medical informatics, which has been defined as “the field that concerns itself with the cognitive, information processing, and communication tasks of medical practice, education, and research [1]. …
