DESCRIPTION:
Hospital information systems (HIS) have become integral tools in the management of a hospital's medical and administrative information. With illustrated case studies, this book emphasizes clinical information systems (CIS) and their use in the direct management of the patient. Topics include the medical record, security, resource amangement, and imopaging integration.
J. Bourgeois said Not worth the money. For a book titled Clinical Information Systems, you would think that would be the contents. Unfortunately it is not. Old re-hashed arguments about CPOE, a non-informative review of security, a little touch of imaging IT and that's about it. Nary a mention of clinical systems such as laboratory, pharmacy, radiology, clinical documentation, etc. A rather disappointing product. I have serious reservations about the rest of the texts from this publisher aft. "Apparently, a classic text" according to Terry. But I thought it was boring & not all that informative. I struggled through it because I was taking a class on CIS. Surely, there's something better out there.
