Purchase options and add-ons

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.

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.

Product description

Review

"Comprehensive. Timely. Readable. Interesting. Useful as a textbook and/or reference. Relevant. Highly recommended... It is this reviewer’s opinion that this text is useful as a textbook and/or reference. It could easily serve the purpose as a textbook for an undergraduate biomedical engineering elective course, followed by, if possible, a course in database development. The text is highly relevant to engineers working in medicine, and is thus highly recommended." – Paul. H. King, Ph.D., P.E, Vanderbilt University, IEEE Pulse

"...should be required reading for every physician intending to enter a fellowship program in medical informatics, and it is also highly recommended to every doctor and medical student interested in this emerging medical specialty."
―JAMA

"A simply brilliant introduction to this fast developing field which is comprehensive, up to date, and at the same time sophisticated... It should be read by all healthcare professionals."
―2004 BMA Book Awards Judging Panel

    Enrico Coiera is dual trained in medicine and computer science. He is an Australian born research scientist and has worked in clinical practice, in industry at the prestigious Hewlett-Packard Research Laboratories in Bristol UK, and is now in academia. His research papers cover a wide territory, exploring the different ways humans and technologies come together to support healthcare. He is particularly known for his work on clinical communication and interruption, the safety of e-health, and decision support technologies. The Guide to Health Informatics is a textbook he first wrote in 1998, at the beginning of the Internet revolution, and in subsequent editions the book has evolved to reflect the rapid change in this discipline. The book emphasises ideas rather than technologies, and is intended to be a foundational course that is accessible to health professionals and technologists alike. The third edition appears in 2015.

Really enjoying the writing and information presented. However, it appears that using this book on Kindle does not allow you to jump to chapters to read. Contacted Amazon and they reported that this was due to how the textbook was formatted. Would definitely recommend this as a fix for future editions
