How is information defined in the context of informatics?

Data that has been processed and has meaning
Initial data input from keyboards
Raw facts collected from sensors
Unprocessed clinical notes

The correct answer is: Data that has been processed and has meaning

In the context of informatics, information is defined as data that has been processed and given meaning. This means that raw data collected from various sources, such as sensors or clinical notes, is processed and transformed into meaningful information that can be used for decision-making and analysis. In contrast, options B, C, and D do not fully capture the essence of information in informatics, as they all refer to raw or unprocessed data rather than data that has been processed and given meaning.
