Time of information in which the authors live resulted in the increase of the amount of the information exponential growth of the new kind of knowledge, flourishing of the familiar ones and the appearance of the new sciences. Medical (health) informatics occupies the central place in all the segments of modern medicine in the past 30 years--in practical work, education and scientific research. In all that, computers have taken over the most important role and are used intensively for the development of the health information systems. Following activities develop within the area of health informatics: health-documentation, health-statistics, health-informatics and bio-medical, scientific and professional information. The pioneer in the development of the health statistics and informatics in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) was Dr Evgenije Sherstnew, who was the Chief of Health Statistics in the Ministry of Health of BiH from 1946-1952, and who founded and led, from 1952 to the end of his life, the Department of Medical Documentation and Health Statistics of the Central Health Institute of BiH, the core around which a group of experts for the development of this field have gathered. In the eighties computers were intensively used as a tool for the processing medical data and with them the development of health information systems at the level of the outpatient-clinics, hospitals, clinical centers, as well as the integral information system of health, health insurance and the social security system of BiH began. Finally, Society for Medical Informatics of BiH, which as a professional association gathers experts in the area of health informatics, actively propagates this profession in the Republic, was founded. With reform of the lectures and curriculum at the medical faculty in Sarajevo, the course in 'Medical Informatics' has been in 1992. into the second semester, since it was assumed that an early insight into the principles of information along with studies of so called basic pre-clinic sciences, especially basics of information, would make things easier for the students the more informative education is in the course of their medical studies. The medical faculty in Sarajevo also established and accepted a course of health informatics and economics of post-graduate studies in 1979, of which the main objective is education of experts for work informatics jobs in health care system and services, especially for needs of the future information systems in BiH.
作者所处时代的信息发展导致信息量增加、新型知识呈指数增长、既有知识蓬勃发展以及新学科出现。在过去30年里，医学（健康）信息学在现代医学的各个领域占据核心地位——包括实际工作、教育和科研。在所有这些方面，计算机发挥了最重要的作用，并被大量用于健康信息系统的开发。健康信息学领域开展了以下活动：健康文档、健康统计、健康信息学以及生物医学、科学和专业信息。波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那（波黑）健康统计和信息学发展的先驱是叶夫根尼耶·舍尔斯特涅夫博士，他在1946年至1952年期间担任波黑卫生部健康统计主管，并于1952年至其生命结束时创立并领导了波黑中央健康研究所医学文档和健康统计部，围绕该部门聚集了一批该领域的专家。20世纪80年代，计算机被大量用作处理医疗数据的工具，与此同时，门诊诊所、医院、临床中心层面的健康信息系统以及波黑的健康、健康保险和社会保障系统的综合信息系统开始发展。最后，波黑医学信息学协会成立，作为一个专业协会，它汇聚了健康信息学领域的专家，并在共和国积极宣传这一专业。随着萨拉热窝医学院讲座和课程的改革，“医学信息学”课程于1992年进入第二学期，因为人们认为尽早了解信息原理以及学习所谓的基础临床前科学，尤其是信息基础，会使学生在医学学习过程中更容易接受更具信息性的教育。萨拉热窝医学院还在1979年设立并认可了健康信息学和研究生课程经济学，其主要目标是培养在医疗保健系统和服务领域从事信息学工作的专家，特别是满足波黑未来信息系统的需求。
