What does the word "informatics" mean?

A few years ago, I had the following discussion on another forum (where my nickname is "teo123"):

INFORMATICS teo. The fact that you don't know the difference proves you aren't qualified to discuss this. It's like I told you to study epigenetics and you go on about your high school anatomy class.
And it is still not clear to me what they meant by "informatics" and how it is different from "computer science". Does anybody here know?

Four damn years ago you asked a question on another forum and now you want an answer from us. Perfect. Just fucking perfect.

The answer is dragons can fly; airplanes can't.

I went to http://www.philosophicalvegan.com and there was no one there.

I conclude that websites don’t exist.

In the US it's generally the study of how medical information is organized stored and accessed.
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell  Popcorn

Quote:Informatics is the study of computational systems.[1][2] According to the ACM Europe Council and Informatics Europe, informatics is synonymous with computer science and computing as a profession,[3] in which the central notion is transformation of information.[1][4] In other countries, the term "informatics" is used with a different meaning in the context of library science, in which case it is synonymous with data storage and retrieval.[5]
