Talk:Biomedical informatics

Comment: This topic should be redirected to "Health Informatics" in Wikipedia

=================

This article needs some confirmation; in particular, there needs to be a cross-check with this article and other articles referenced by it for consistency (e.g., computer science classifies bioinformatics as a subdomain -- which is correct? If both are, in what sense?). Also, we should avoid sticking lists of "<insert_field_here> informatics" within the main article itself; a subcategory titled 'Major fields' might be more appropriate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nervexmachina (talk • contribs) 23:18, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think this article needs a list of all departments named "biomedical informatics". It may be better to mention centres of excellence, but examples of the use of the term don't add much. As for the Elsevier journal, there must be other publications in the field as well. JFW | T@lk 11:26, 14 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

agree, per WP:NOT#DIRECTORY. As with other 'discipline' pages, list quickly become unmanageable and fall victim to vandalism and linkspam. my opinion: At the very least, there should be more sentences in the article than external links supporting those statements.

agree -- Organized external links by alpha, but in concordance with others that departmental links should be removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.95.11.164 (talk) 20:48, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How are "centres of excellence" determined? I thought the list of University biomedical departments useful when doing my graduate program search, since most magazines/etc tend not to mention anything about biomedical informatics. I'm not sure if this information belongs on this page, however. At minimum, perhaps the external links list can be organzed better? --SamatJain 05:11, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am putting them as External Links. The term "biomedical informatics" is there only in this journal. Supten 06:22, 11 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

When was the phase Biomedical Informatics first coined/published? By whom? That might give some insight into the 'relationship' to bioinformatics. --Jethero 06:49, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
