Primarily the first and third.
- Yes: to follow an interest in computers and healthcare information — that’s the core of health informatics (designing/using systems to collect, manage, and analyze health data).
- Yes: to learn about the impact of computers in business — health informatics also covers organizational processes, workflow, administration, and how IT changes healthcare delivery and management.
- No (generally): to provide clinical services to patients — direct patient care is usually the role of clinicians; informatics focuses on information, systems, and improving care processes. (That said, many clinicians pursue informatics to improve clinical care or split time between practice and informatics work.)
