Biomedical informatics (BMI) is an interdisciplinary field. It includes the studies and effective uses of biomedical knowledge, information, and data for the purpose of scientific decision making, scientific inquiry and problem-solving to improve the human health. Three society-wide factors that will determine the assimilation of computers in clinical practices are given as follows:
1. New development in the hardware and software area-The both hardware and software technologies have made the most powerful computers cheaper than earlier. Thus, they are easily available to hospital or physicians. Selection of computers with all capabilities makes application attractive and accessible.
2. Increasing in a number of professionals who are trained in both BMI and other health profession-The individual having expertise in both the fields can understand the biomedical issues and hence design more effective systems.
3. Integration of health care into the computational setting- The tendency of patient care through technology is frequently cited in the modern world. The computer is assisting physicians to a large extent, which was not possible earlier.
One of the examples of computerized settings, includes MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) and CT (computerized tomography) scans, which have allowed medical professional to visualize cross-sectional parts of the human body. ICU (intensive care unit), which provides continuous monitoring of the patients, is another example.
