Description
Book SynopsisIllustrating the importance of hospital information management in delivering high quality health care at the lowest possible cost, this book provides the essential resources needed by the medical informatics specialist to understand and successfully manage the complex nature of hospital information systems.
Trade ReviewFrom the reviews of the second edition:
“Health Information Systems appears to be directed at teaching the building blocks and constructs of information systems used for managing health care. … It is descriptive, analytical, and well written … . Given the rapid increase in use of hospital information systems and the demand for skills in building, supporting, and understanding such systems, Health Information Systems: Architectures and Strategies is a timely book. … it teaches readers without health care experience about the complexity of medical information.” (David Chou, Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 306 (12), 2011)
