From PEDINFO: Pediatric Informatics
Pediatric Informatics is the study of health information used in the care of infants, children, or adolescents. There are very few areas of Medical Informatics that are the exclusive domain of those who care for the young. But there are areas of special interest in pediatric care--areas where "general purpose" information systems come up short. This site's goal is to catalog those areas of special interest and to accelerate the reader's understanding of the discipline of Pediatric Informatics.
