Synopsis:

This book deals with the implications of information technology (IT) in health care for organizational change. Its purpose is to move the emphasis away from the technology towards people and organizations and to provide guidelines on successful implementation and utilization of IT by nurses in all health care settings. The topic is treated by considering three main areas - the impact of IT on society, the organization and on the individual. The text consists of collected papers written specifically for the Working Conference under the three sections mentioned plus a distillation of group discussions by the participants. The most important feature is the consideration of organizational change issues resulting from the implementation and utilization of IT in health care. The text takes a multi-national approach focusing on the experience of eminent and key nursing informatics practitioners. It should help prepare the reader for reality better than consideration of the potential of IT for nursing and health care. The novelty of the approach is that it addresses context rather than content of health care IT and nursing.
