Guide to health informatics

This brilliant guide to medical informatics is an easy to read overview of the basic concepts of information and communication technologies in healthcare. Not only does the book cover the complexities and implications of the increasing use of information technology in healthcare, but it also explores the basic principles of informatics that govern clinical decisions and behaviour. The 2nd edition of 'A Guide to Health Informatics' is particularly of interest for clinical health professionals and medical/health science students. As before, the emphasis throughout the book is clinically relevant.

  • "This guide provides an overview of the basic concepts of information and communication technologies in healthcare. It explores the implications of the increasing use of information technology and the basic principles of informatics."
  • "Highly recommended by JAMA, this essential textbooks provides a comprehensive yet accessible overview of the basic concepts of information and communication technologies in healthcare. This essential text provides a readable yet sophisticated overview of the basic concepts of information technologies as they apply in healthcare. Spanning areas as diverse as the electronic medical record, searching, protocols, and communications as well as the Internet, Enrico Coiera has succeeded in making this vast and complex area accessible and understandable to the non-specialist, while providing everything that students of medical informatics need to know to accompany their course. Key features: Comprehensive - complete coverage of this growing area in a single, manageable volume Relevant - updated and expanded to reflect current issues and the latest developments in the field, including the impact of social media, nation-scale health information systems, systems safety, augmented reality and surgical simulations, machine learning, and discovery systems Accessible - student-friendly design with tables, boxes, and chapter summaries is ideal as a course companion while lively text ensures it is also suitable for the casual reader to dip into Free online resources - including an extensive glossary, references linked to MedLine, MCQs for self testing, and discussion points for use in tutorials to stimulate debate Fully revised, the third edition of Guide to Health Informatics remains essential reading for all health science undergraduates, clinical health professionals, and health service managers who need to appreciate and understand the role of informatics and its associated technologies for optimal practice and service delivery."
