    Book SynopsisFor the first time ever, clear, comprehensive information about the major e-learning standards has been brought together in a single resource. No more confusing patchworks of information gleaned from scattered Web sites and periodicals. No more frustrating searches through hundreds of pages of technical specifications to find the twenty pages that apply to you. No more sorting through the alphabet soup of acronyms trying to discern which of them you need. Written by the developers of the first Learning Management System (LMS) to be AICC-certified for Web-based interoperability, E-Learning Standards: A Guide to Purchasing, Developing, and Deploying Standards-Conformant E-Learning thoroughly covers this complex topic.The authors focus on those standards that are being successfully implemented such as the AICC and SCORM specifications for interoperable data tracking, searchable meta-data, and interchangeable course structures and the QTI specification for interoperable tests and test questions. They clearly explain the purpose of each standard and its application to the various components of e-learning such as learning management systems and learning content management systems, assessment systems, and courseware. The book provides practical advice on choosing and purchasing standards-based e-learning components and gives guidance on developing interoperable, interchangeable courseware that will work in any standards-based e-learning environment. Learning technology standards are still very new to the Web-based training world, leaving room for many potential pitfalls. There are distinct sets of standards available for Internet-delivered learning that enable all components of an e-learning system to communicate with each other. However, choosing which set of standards would best suit the system's needs, then understanding and following those specifications, can be a daunting task. E-Learning Standards: A Guide to Purchasing, Developing, and Deploying Standards-Conformant E-Learning provides a road map for anyone involved in the development of components for e-learning environments and a guide buyers can use to make well-informed decisions about their e-learning purchases.Trade Review"Your book came along at the perfect time!

    Book SynopsisWithin a healthcare enterprise, patient vital signs and other automated measurements are communicated from connected medical devices to end-point systems, such as electronic health records, data warehouses and standalone clinical information systems. Connected Medical Devices: Integrating Patient Care Data in Healthcare Systems explores how medical device integration (MDI) supports quality patient care and better clinical outcomes by reducing clinical documentation transcription errors, improving data accuracy and density within clinical records and ensuring the complete capture of medical device information on patients. The book begins with a comprehensive overview of the types of medical devices in use today and the ways in which those devices interact, before examining factors such as interoperability standards, patient identification, clinical alerts and regulatory and security considerations. Offering lessons learned from his own experiences managing MDI rollouts in both operating room and intensive care unit settings, the author provides practical guidance for healthcare stakeholders charged with leading an MDI rollout. Topics include working with MDI solution providers, assembling an implementation team and transitioning to go-live. Special features in the book include a glossary of acronyms used throughout the book and sample medical device planning and testing tools.Table of ContentsIntroduction: Overview of Medical Device Interoperability (MDI) and the Current State of the MDI Industry, What is MDI and Why is it Needed Chapter 1: Medical Device Types and Classes Used and How They Communicate Chapter 2: MDI Solution Acquisition and Implementation Chapter 3: Semantic Data Alignment and Time Synchronization of Medical Devices Chapter 4: Standards Surrounding Medical Device Integration To Health Systems Chapter 5: Notifications, Alerts and Clinical Uses of Medical Device Data Chapter 6: Patient Identification and Medical Device Association Chapter 7: Regulatory and Security Considerations of MDI

    Book SynopsisWe are in the early stages of the next big platform shift in healthcare computing. Fueled by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Cloud, this shift is already transforming the way health and medical services are provided.As the industry transitions from static digital repositories to intelligent systems, there will be winners and losers in the race to innovate and automate the provision of services. Critical to success will be the role leaders play in shaping the use of AI to be less artificial and more intelligent in support of improving processes to deliver care and keep people healthy and productive across all care settings.This book defines key technical, process, people, and ethical issues that need to be understood and addressed in successfully planning and executing an enterprise-wide AI plan. It provides clinical and business leaders with a framework for moving organizations from the aspiration to execution of intelligent systems to improve clinical, operationaTrade Review"Practical, insightful and a page turning read. Tom makes short work of the much-hyped topic of artificial intelligence, drawing on decades of experience to find the pattern between a series of case studies. This no nonsense book is a must read primer for those working in the healthcare system seeking to understand the impact of AI for the sector, or those entrepreneurial thinkers looking for the business opportunities this revolution will create."- Dr. Simon Kos, CEO, Next Practices and former Chief Medical Officer, Microsoft"Tom Lawry’s new book, "Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare - A Leader’s Guide to Winning in the Age of Intelligent Healthcare Systems" will be landing on real and virtual bookshelves in hospitals and health systems at a most opportune time. After a long incubation period and much hand-wringing about potential downsides of AI, the field is now ready for prime time in healthcare. Leaders in every aspect of the industry will find practical guidance in this concise and well-written book. That includes a clear and comprehensive breakdown of the many different technologies that comprise AI as well as a discussion of the myriad opportunities to leverage AI to improve not only clinical outcomes but workflows and processes in the many support functions that make a healthcare system work. The book will definitely help them cut through the morass of incomplete and sometimes conflicting information on AI and position themselves to lead the Intelligent Health Systems of the future…systems that will be powered by AI. I highly recommend this book."- Dr. Patricia Salber, CEO, The Doctor Weighs In"There is perhaps nothing is more profound than the impact AI will have on how healthcare is delivered in the future. In his new book, Artificial Intelligence in Health - A Leader’s Guide to Winning in the New Age of Intelligent Systems, Tom shares wisdom that comes from a lifetime of experience as a business leader and technologist in the health industry. He has traveled the globe gathering insights from some of the world’s most gifted experts. He examines how AI is being used in healthcare today, as well as where this powerful tech will take us in the future. There are both challenges and opportunities for AI in healthcare and Tom carefully examines both sides of the equation." - Dr. Bill Crounse, CIO, CMIO, Senior Director, Worldwide Heath, Microsoft Corporation (retired)."Mr Lawry’s book is a sensitively written analysis of the opportunities to use AI in healthcare whilst avoiding the pitfalls and the hype. He takes the reader through the key concepts and applies them to healthcare as only an expert in the three fields of health, technology and analytics can. Many people will be familiar with the background to the AI in health story and will struggle to know where to start and end their work. If you want to get the benefits of AI, then this book is for you. It will tell you want good looks like and how to navigate ethics, build a workforce, create new operating models and apply disruptive thinking.
