- Abstract
The purpose of this study is to examine the use of information technologies in the field of medicine, and to provide the basic features and the types of applications of the medical informatics in various fields. Medical informatics is an interdisciplinary and rapidly growing branch of science that emerges from the intersection of computer science and health services. It deals with the most appropriate resources, tools and methods for the purpose of storage, access and use of the biomedical knowledge to problem-solving and decision making in health. Medical informatics is used in all areas of basic and applied biomedical science. Especially is closely related to modern information technology such as computers and communications. With the use of information technologies in the field of health care it is intended to develop tools and procedures for the use of doctors, nurses and other health staff for diagnosis and treatment of the patients more accurately and efficiently. In this study technical specifications of the medical informatics are given and sample applications are explained with their basic components. The techniques used to perform biomedical applications, and the advantages of using biomedical systems are discussed. It is observed that despite the advantages of using medical science and advanced technology together for supplying the better health care to patients, there are various technical and legal problems to overcome for widespread usage of the medical informatics systems. In the future, medical informatics applications will accelerate the growth of health care quality and accessing to health services would cease to be a problem with the rapid progress of technology and necessary legal arrangements.
