The purpose of this book is to be the premier resource for behavioral health clinicians who are considering adopting technology into their practice. Written by experts and policy makers in the field this book will be recognized as the gold standard. Other books currently in this field are extremely technical and are geared primarily to policy makers, researchers and informaticians. While this book will be a useful adjunct to that audience, it is primarily designed for the over .5 million behavioral health clinicians in the U.S. and the millions others around the world. Adoption of technology is slow in behavioural healthcare, and this book will enhance the adoption and utilization of various technologies in practice. I.T. vendors may also purchase this book for their customers.

“Technology will drive behavioral health innovations in efficiency and quality, this book is great primer for clinicians, students, and decision makers on how to approach technology in behavioral health” David K. Nace M.D. Vice President, Clinical Development, McKesson Health Solutions, Philadelphia, PA, USA

Information technology is only beginning to innovate and transform the practice and performance of clinicians in behavioral healthcare. Minimal investments in information technology research and development are fundamentally altering the lives of millions worldwide. This promise and future of behavioral informatics is outlined in the chapters that follow.|
