The book features several case studies that serve to illustrate these components.  The book details the extension of HIS to multi-site environments. Such extended networks are called community health information systems (CHIS) or networks (CHIN). Clinical information systems (CIS) are used in the direct management of the patient, and this book focuses on the implementation of an integrated and comprehensive CIS.  Designed for use by all healthcare professionals, the book's chapter highlights include: The Evolution of Health Information Systems Frameworks: A Collection of Business Objects The Patient Component; The Medical Record Component The Knowledge Component; The Resource Management Component The Security Component; and Imaging Management and Integration.  The addition of case studies illustrates the role of these components, and a Glossary provides invaluable definitions for the reader's easy reference. This book was written for these readers: medical informaticians healthcare administrators physician executives CIOs IT developers clinical managers nursing executives and other healthcare professionals with a need to understand information technology (information from the publisher) You may also be interested in / The Directory of Healthcare Recruiters / Jump to a List / Health Administration & Leadership / Physician Executive, Medical Staff & Practice Management / Finance, Accounting, Economics, Billing & Reimbursement / Coding for Hospital, Physician & Clinical Services / Law, Malpractice, Ethics, Accreditation & Compliance / Quality Improvement, Outcomes & Customer Service / Risk Management, Security, Error Reduction & Patient Safety / Information Systems, Technology & Medical Records / Clinical Management & Executive Nursing / Behavioral Health, Social Work & Psychiatry Management / Human Resources, Management & Supervision / Directories, Data, Trends & Benchmarks / Software & CD-ROMs / Gift Ideas & Recommended Gifts / Journals, Magazines & Newsletters / Search for Books / Books Index / Go to / Home Page / Toolbox for Health Administrators / Bookstore /
