The Origin of Healthcare Informatics

For decades, in healthcare, the increase in knowledge has led to the development of many specialties and sub specialties. Treatment becomes better but fractional causing difficulty in overview of the entire patient. The number of health cases increased exponentially  with increase in population,discovery of more diseases and extension of life expectancy. There are simply so much data in so many places that it is difficult to merge the data that we find and the knowledge that we already have. We are putting so much data but lack the time to channel them into useful information or knowledge.This led to the development of healthcare informatics. 
Healthcare informatics can help the top four problems of local nurses in the workplace (excessive documentation, long turnaround times, inaccurate nursing processes, and poor documentation).
