This book provides informatics principles and examples of practice in a public health context. In doing so, it clarifies the ways in which newer information technologies will improve individual and community health status.
This book's primary purpose is to consolidate key information and promote a strategic approach to information systems and development, making it a resource for use by faculty and students of public health, as well as the practicing public health professional.
Review questions are featured at the end of every chapter. Aside from its use for public health professionals, the book will be used by schools of public health, clinical and public health nurses and students, schools of social work, allied health, and environmental sciences.
Book Summary: Provides coverage of specific topics and issues in healthcare, highlighting recent trends and describing the latest advances in the field. Book Summary: Describes and analyzes recent breakthroughs in healthcare and biomedicine providing comprehensive coverage and definitions of important issues, concepts, new trends and advanced technologies. Book Summary: Governments and clinical providers are investing billions of dollars in health information technologies.
This is being done with the expectation that HIT adoption will translate into healthier patients experiencing better care at lower cost.
As the first wave of adoption comes to an end, stakeholders are ready to evaluate the results of their investment and make decisions about future directions. As a result, structured evaluations of a projects impact are an essential element of the justification for investment in HIT.
This book provides an easy-to-read reference outlining the basic concepts, theory, and methods required to perform a systematic evaluation of HIT. Book Summary: Healthcare Delivery Reform and New Technologies: Organizational Initiatives contains cross-disciplinary research on strategic initiatives for healthcare reform that impact not only patients, but also organizations, healthcare providers, and policymakers.
Contributions focus on the operational as well as theoretical aspects of healthcare management, healthcare delivery processes, and patient-centered initiatives. Book Summary: E-health two-side Markets: Implementation and Business Models presents empirical models and suggestions that focus on how to remove barriers to deliver online services across borders and how actual barriers affect business models in a two-sided market with regard to eHealth.
Technological innovation and business developments in online trade result in fast-evolving markets with the continuous emergence of new products and services, thus requiring a specific approach.
This book is a valuable source for researchers in medical informatics, and is also ideal for stakeholders, consultants, advisors, and product designers involved in eHealth services.
Presents guidelines that can be used as examples of pros and cons in two-side markets Provides knowledge that enables readers to identify the changes that need to be considered in budget proposals for eHealth implementation Includes examples of business models applied in two-side markets, diminishing external effects and failures.
Book Summary: Pervasive healthcare is an emerging research discipline, focusing on the development and application of pervasive and ubiquitous computing technology for healthcare and wellness.
Pervasive healthcare seeks to respond to a variety of pressures on healthcare systems, including the increased incidence of life-style related and chronic diseases, emerging consumerism in healthcare, need for empowering patients and relatives for self-care and management of their health, and need to provide seamless access for healthcare services, independent of time and place.
Pervasive healthcare may be defined from two perspectives. First, it is the development and application of pervasive computing or ubiquitous computing, ambient intelligence technologies for healthcare, health and wellness management.
Second, it seeks to make healthcare available to anyone, anytime, and anywhere by removing locational, time and other restraints while increasing both the coverage and quality of healthcare. This book proposes to define the emerging area of pervasive health and introduce key management principles, most especially knowledge management, its tools, techniques and technologies. In addition, the book takes a socio-technical, patient-centric approach which serves to emphasize the importance of a key triumvirate in healthcare management namely, the focus on people, process and technology.
Last but not least the book discusses in detail a specific example of pervasive health, namely the potential use of a wireless technology solution in the monitoring of diabetic patients. Book Summary: Technology has become an integral part of our daily interactions, even within the hospitals and healthcare facilities we rely on in times of illness and injury.
New technologies and systems are being developed every day, advancing the ways that we treat and maintain the health and wellbeing of diverse populations. Reshaping Medical Practice and Care with Health Information Systems explores the latest advancements in telemedicine and various medical technologies transforming the healthcare sector.
Emphasizing current trends and future opportunities for IT integration in medicine, this timely publication is an essential reference source for medical professionals, IT specialists, graduate-level students, and researchers.
