摘要：This issue of the Bulletin contains a suite of articles grounded in the emerging field of health informatics. While an earlier issue of the Bulletin contained a definition and introduction to the field (www.asis.org/Bulletin/Jun-11/JunJul11_Dalrymple.pdf), this issue’s articles illustrate specific aspects of this large domain having to do with human health and disease, its etiology and treatment. Clearly, such an undertaking is challenging in scope and complexity and is well beyond the resources of a single issue of the Bulletin. Thus, this collection of articles is indicative, rather than exhaustive. Its intent is to pique the interest of the Bulletin’s readers, to provide illustrative and informative examples of the diversity of approaches within health informatics, to describe a few of the challenges in the field and to indicate where appropriate relationships exist among information sciences, information technology and informatics.
