Healthcare Information Management Systems, Third edition, will be a comprehensive volume addressing the technical, organizational, and management issues confronted by healthcare professionals in the selection, implementation, and management of healthcare information systems. With contributions from experts in the field, this book focuses on topics such as strategic planning, turning a plan into reality, implementation, patient-centered technologies, privacy, the new culture of patient safety, and the future of technologies in progress. With the addition of 28 new chapters, the Third Edition is also richly peppered with case studies of implementation, both in the United States and abroad. The case studies are evidence that information technology can be implemented efficiently to yield results, yet they do not overlook pitfalls, hurdles, and other challenges that are encountered. Designed for use by physicians, nurses, nursing and medical directors, department heads, CEOs, CFOs, CIOs, COOs, and healthcare informaticians, the book aims to be a indispensible reference.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
describes current and future systems -





The book is not primarily meant for an IT person. Rather, its chapters are pitched at various types of administrators and managers within a hospital (or related organisation) that need to understand what is available in terms of information management. So the chapters are written in the context of those backgrounds.
Having said this, an IT manager for a hospital, or for an IT firm that wants to develop systems for hospitals, can read this book profitably. It describes current systems and desirable properties of future systems in ways that customers can appreciate. For you, it is vital to understand these viewpoints if you intend to develop, maintain or sell management systems to them.

The book seems to be oriented towards students learning about information systems in the healthcare context and is quite elementary in the topics covered. I didn't learn very much and preferred "Information Technology for Integrated Health Systems" (an Errnst and Young book) edited by Kerry Kinsinger and Sandra Borchardt.
