Data is what is consider different; Information is the relationships among data and Knowledge is the information in context. health informatic or Biomedical Informatics is defined as the Knowledge of Model for Health Science and The main role of Health or Biomedical Informatics is to understand those knowledge models and the role playing by them in the context of health, therefore, Health or Biomedical Informatics is seen as the Knowledge Modeling of 1. Health 2. Health Context 3. The purpose of the Model. The Science of Biomedical Informatics include Theory IN, OF and FOR. The part of Theory FOR Biomedical Informatics is considered the clearest and understandable, and comes from, Biology, Epidemiology, Medicine, Nursing among other Theory IN Biomedical Informatics includes highly and heavily modified Human Computer Interaction Theory to fit the high-demand-time, Moving from a Discipline to a Science and consists in the development of newer knowledge
