Synopsis

Health informatics is a multi-disciplinary, multi-dimensional field which seeks to facilitate the effective collection, management and use of information in the health care environment. Taking a socio-technical perspective, Health Informatics focuses on the interplay between the health care environment and the systems used to manage that environment. Highly practical in orientation, the book uses many and various examples of the different issues, priorities and approaches to using health information technology to assist students to identify and critique these differing perspectives.
