Seite - 216 - in Applied Interdisciplinary Theory in Health Informatics - Knowledge Base for Practitioners

8. Conclusion We thank our readers for joining us on this journey into the theoretical side of health informatics. We have learned much and enjoyed developing the book. We hope you find the book useful and welcome suggestions for a more extensive second edition. Finally, we hope that you are now part of the health informatics community that agrees with Lewin that: “there is nothing more practical than a good theory” [37]. Teaching questions for reflection 1. In your area of health informatics practice, what would you identify as the most useful interdisciplinary theories in this textbook? 2. What additional theories can you propose for a future edition of the textbook? 3. How would you evaluate the scientific maturity of health informatics, based on its current approach to theory? 4. What do you feel are the priorities for theoretical topics in health informatics that need further research? 5. What would criteria for health informatics theory selection look like?
