Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Spurred by national policy initiatives and supported by the growing power of computers, technology, and telecommunications, telehealth applications are now up and running. This book explores consumer informatics and telemedicine as the means to evolve toward what the Institute of Medicine envisioned in its landmark reports on the electronic medical record, patient safety, and quality care.

Reseña del editor

This series is directed to healthcare professionals who are leading the trans­ formation of health care by using information and knowledge. Launched in 1988 as Computers in Health Care, the series offers a broad range of titles: some addressed to specific professions such as nursing, medicine, and health administration; others to special areas of practice such as trauma and radiol­ ogy. Still other books in the series focus on interdisciplinary issues, such as the computer-based patient record, electronic health records, and networked healthcare systems. Renamed Health Informatics in 1998 to reflect the rapid evolution in the discipline now known as health informatics, the series will continue to add titles that contribute to the evolution of the field. In the series, eminent ex­ perts, serving as editors or authors, offer their accounts of innovations in health informatics. Increasingly, these accounts go beyond hardware and soft­ ware to address the role of information in influencing the transformation of healthcare deli very systems around the world. The series also increasingly focuses on "peopleware" and the organizational, behavioral, and societal changes that accompany the diffusion of information technology in health services environments.
