Healthcare Information Management Systems is a comprehensive volume addressing:

  • technical issues

  • organizational issues

  • management issues

  • selection of systems

  • implementation

  • management of healthcare information systems

With contributions from experts in the field, this book focuses on topics such as:

  • strategic planning

  • turning a plan into reality

  • implementation

  • patient-centered technologies

  • privacy

  • the new culture of patient safety

  • the future of technologies in progress

With the addition of 28 new chapters, it is also richly peppered with case studies of implementation, both in the United States and abroad. The case studies are evidence that information technology can be implemented efficiently to yield results, yet they do not overlook pitfalls, hurdles, and other challenges that are encountered. This book is designed for use by:

  • physicians

  • nurses

  • nursing and medical directors

  • department heads

  • CEOs

  • CFOs

  • CIOs

  • healthcare informaticians

This book aims to be a indispensable reference. Far reaching advances in health informatics have propelled this field from the realm of theory into daily clinical practice over the past several years. On its third edition, this has been a very popular and well-respected book for the field of medical informatics. This new edition looks beyond traditional information systems to show how healthcare facilities can gain competitive advantages. 

The editor includes contributors from diverse backgrounds, training, regions and work environments. Each offers practical, experiential knowledge on problems that demand understanding of both health care and technology. The book's contributors discuss visions of the future (such as the completely networked physician), medical care and nursing information systems and acquiring information systems expertise (including a chapter on convincing physicians to use microcomputers). (information from the publisher). 

"Based on my personal experience since the 1960s with healthcare information management systems, I believe the experiences and wisdom of experts from some of the most advanced systems in the world, which are contained in the third edition of this very practical guide, will be of inestimable help to anyone involved in implementing a new healthcare information management system or in operating an existing system." - Morris F. Collen, MD, Director Emeritus, Division of Research, Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program, Oakland, California
