20.500.12556/RUL-151366 On the current connection and relation between health informatics and social informatics Scholars from the health and medical sciences have recently proposed the term social informatics (SI) as a new scientific subfield of health informatics (HI). However, SI is not a new academic concept; in fact, it has been continuously used in the social sciences and informatics since the 1970s. Although the dominant understanding of SI was established in the 1990s in the United States, a rich international perspective on SI has existed since the 1970s in other regions of the world. When that perspective is considered, the fields of understanding can be structured into 7 SI schools of thought. Against that conceptual background, this paper contributes to the discussion on the relationship between SI and HI, outlining possible perspectives of SI that are associated with health, medical, and clinical aspects. This paper argues against the multiplication and inconsistent appearance of the term SI when newly used in health and medical sciences. A more explicit name for the area that uses health and social data to advance individual and population health might be helpful to overcome this issue; giving an identity to this new field would help it to be understood more precisely and bring greater separation. This labeling could be fruitful for further segmentation of HI, which is rapidly expanding. biomedical informatics conceptual view clinical informatics international perspective medical informatics true false true Angleški jezik Ni določen Članek v reviji 2023-10-05 13:43:17 2023-10-05 13:43:20 2024-02-29 03:40:51 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2022 0 0 8 str. no. 9, art. e40547 Vol. 24 2022 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno apc 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 004.7:61 1438-8871 10.2196/40547 124895235 RAZ_Smutny_Zdenek_2022.pdf RAZ_Smutny_Zdenek_2022.pdf 1 874A942EB9B208923AC29A42BE588D64 4634055eb7a27c369cbc40bcdc1ee86d4ed00c895df74cbdd496c33550639eab b9f3cfe3-6374-11ee-aa25-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=176335 https://www.jmir.org/2022/9/e40547 0 c7e90892-d639-11ee-86bb-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=181313 Fakulteta za družbene vede 0 0 0
