Since the release of the first edition in 1996, it has become an indispensable course textbook and resource to medical informaticians, students of informatics, healthcare administrators, and health services researchers. After four reprints prompted by continuing sales, this new edition incorporates heavily updated and revised material to reflect the changing demands on today’s health information technology professional.</p> <p></p> <p>As information technology takes on an increasingly central role in health care and biomedical research, successful and reliable methods for evaluation become more and more imperative.
