Academic and nonacademic health informatics (HI) professionals (informaticians) serve on interprofessional health care teams with other professionals, such as physicians, nurses, pharmacists, dentists, and nutritionists.[1] Presently, we argue for investing greater attention to the role health informaticians play on interprofessional teams and the best practices to support this role.
