It is the application of information to specific situations and requires an understanding of the user's information needs, designing information models, deploying various systems, and assessing impacts to meet the growing need for on-demand health information. Those entering medical librarianship require a theoretical framework and an understanding of the practical applications of health informatics. Ana D. Cleveland and Donald B.
