Medical informatics is the intersection of information science, computer science, and health care. It deals with the resources, devices, and methods required to optimize the acquisition, storage, retrieval, and use of information in health and bio-medicine. Health informatics tools include not only computers but also clinical guidelines, formal medical terminologies, and information and communication systems. It is applied to the areas of nursing, clinical care, dentistry, pharmacy, public health and (bio)medical research.

So yes it is all the same! Health informatics is the category and Medical, Biomedical are branches in the category. Every branch uses the same tools to provide the safe and effective delivery of medical care, virtually all clinical staff use a number of Health Informatics Tools in their day-to-day operations. The need for standardization and refined development of these tools is underscored by the HITECH act and other efforts to develop electronic medical records

Hope this is helpful it is a very progressive field with a lot of growth expected after the HITECH approvals go through. Good Luck
