Average Customer Ratings:

Faced with the growing complexity of medicine, medical computing appears as an indispensible integrating element, be it for the management, the sharing, ot the communication of medical data and knowledge. This work presents both the methodology and the applications of this technology. Hardware and software tools for managing medical information, as well as the medical information itself (data types, reasoning, semantics) are developed in the initial chapters. The various application spheres are explored next: data- and knowledge-bases, hospital information systems, computerized medical records, signal and image processing, expert systems and decision-making tools, installing information systems in medical practices, and computer-based training. The concluding chapters discuss the problems involved in evaluating medical activity and protecting medical data.

This clear and concise expose includes a glossary of the principle technical terms used in information technology and reviews of probability theory and logic. A perfect companion volume to INTRODUCTION TO NURSING INFORMATICS by Ball and Hannah, it is designed for students in medicine, pharmacology and odontology, as well as the practical implementations of information technology in the field of health.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

The Best Book in Computers in Clinical Medicine -
In less than 242 pages, skipping the appendix and other supporting pages, Degoulet covers the field while limiting references to specific technologies that quickly become obsolete, giving readers the gist of Informatics with far fewer words than any similar book in the field. Short text does not mean lacking content, as the judicious use of diagrams describe what may require many words [as this review's run-on-sentences demonstrate, terseness can aid quick comprehension]. Whether the English translation superseded the original French text, I know not. I reviewed this text when first released in 1996 and two years later, Clinical Informatics remains the core text in the four classes I teach in "computers in medicine".
