Publisher's Synopsis
"The idea for Handbook of Informatics for Nurses & Healthcare Professionals first came from the realization that there were few resources that provided practical information about computer applications and information systems in healthcare. From its inception, this book served as a guide for nurses and other healthcare professionals who needed to learn how to adapt and use computer applications and informatics in the workplace. Over time, this text became a reliable resource for students in a variety of healthcare professions who needed to develop and deepen informatics competencies. This book serves undergraduates, graduates, and post graduates who need a historical to current view of healthcare informatics and constantly changing paradigm of value generated through healthcare informatics. It has also served as a review resource for the American Nurses Credentialing Center nursing informatics certification exam"--.
