Abstract
This article aims at clarifying the strategic significance of developing medical informatics, conducting SWOT analysis on this discipline and hence establishing the strategic objectives and focal points for its development.
Highlights
With the increasingly significant role of disciplines in the competition among universities, the recent years has witnessed widespread attention to the importance of disciplinary construction
With the popularity of the computer and Internet, medical science has got more collision, intersection and even fusion with informatics. It is the shared theoretical basis and methodology that have combined them into medical informatics which serves as a scientific basis for the theory, method and application of informatics in the medical field, involves new methods and theories related to effective establishment, acquisition, integration, management and optimization of data and knowledge in medical science and deals with the application of them into medical informatics theories
This new discipline, medical informatics (Wang, 2009), which falls into the category of medical science, is by nature an interdisciplinary field covering both informatics and medical science
Summary
With the increasingly significant role of disciplines in the competition among universities, the recent years has witnessed widespread attention to the importance of disciplinary construction. With the popularity of the computer and Internet, medical science has got more collision, intersection and even fusion with informatics It is the shared theoretical basis and methodology that have combined them into medical informatics which serves as a scientific basis for the theory, method and application of informatics in the medical field, involves new methods and theories related to effective establishment, acquisition, integration, management and optimization of data and knowledge in medical science and deals with the application of them into medical informatics theories. Theoretical researches on definition, research subject and content seem obviously insufficient together with unclear positioning of medical informatics and incomplete understanding of the significance of this discipline Such a research on development strategies, of great importance for the development of medical informatics, is bound to propel medical research and provide reference for the strategic decisions on medical care
