Difference between nursing informatics and health informatics?

[nur18]

After looking into nursing informatics I realize that some programs have nurse informatics and others health informatics.

Is there a difference in the program or just different title for the same education.

The main difference is that in one program all your classmates will be nurses, while in the other program, you will have people from different backgrounds---clinical and non clinical.

Actually, and this is what I found surprising about my program, I am taking some classes with pharmacists, IT focused individuals and even some medical residents. It truly is interdisciplinary. My program really emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration and they walk the talk for sure. I was apprehensive about getting a nursing informatics degree vs a health informatics degree, but my worries have dissipated. I am taking a database class, and at some point will take a systems design class I think next summer is when it is. I am also taking a python class that is not required but it may be helpful.
