Health informatics integrates which domains?

• A. Healthcare, information technology, and data management
• B. History and philosophy
• C. Pharmacy and nutrition
• D. Legal compliance only

Answer: (A)

Health informatics integrates the practice of healthcare with information technology and data management to improve patient outcomes through effective use of information. It combines clinical workflows and decision making with computer systems like electronic health records, decision support, and health information exchanges, enabling data to flow smoothly across settings. Data management adds governance, quality, privacy, and analytics so raw data can be transformed into actionable insights for care and operations. The other options don’t fit the full scope: history and philosophy aren’t the practical focus here; pharmacy and nutrition are specific areas rather than the cross-cutting domain; legal compliance alone is too narrow to capture the technology and data aspects involved.
