the meaning of basic information technology jargon. In truth, the vernacular
of contemporary medical information systems is unique, and often misused or
misunderstood Moreover, an emerging national Heath Information Technology
(HIT) architecture; in the guise of terms, definitions, acronyms,
abbreviations and standards; often puts the non-expert medical, nursing,
public policy administrator or paraprofessional in a position of maximum
uncertainty and minimum productivity The Dictionary of Health Information
Technology and Security will therefore help define, clarify and
explain...You will refer to it daily." -- Richard J. Mata, MD, MS,
