E-raamat: Healthcare Informatics: Strategies for the Digital Era [Taylor & Francis e-raamat]

"Healthcare Informatics: Strategies for the Digital Era focuses on the services, technologies and processes that are evolving in the healthcare industry. It begins with an introduction to the factors that are driving the digital age as it relates to the healthcare sector and then covers strategic topics such as risk management, project management and knowledge management that are essential for successful digital initiatives. It delves into facets of the digital economy and how healthcare is adapting to the geographic, demographic and physical needs of the population and highlights the emergence and importance aps and telehealth. The book covers such technologies as: Computerized physician order entry (CPOE) Clinical Information Systems Apps Alerting Systems Electronic healthcare records (EHRs) Medical sensors Monitoring and communications Mobile healthcare and telehealth. The book then closes the loop on the efficiency enhancing process with a focus on utilizing analytics for problem solving solutions ina variety of healthcare processes including the pharmaceutical sector. It describes the various analytic methods that are prevalent for creating actionable information, which include report creating and visualization, six sigma, business intelligence andpredictive methods involving quantitative techniques. These are all described in an applied, problem solving approach. Finally, the book ends with a current and futuristic view on evolving applications of AI throughout the industry including image recognition, natural language processing, automated and predictive applications"--

"This book addresses how health apps, in-home measurement devices, telemedicine, data mining, and artificial intelligence and smart medical algorithms are all enabled by the transition to a digital health infrastructure…..it provides a comprehensive background with which to understand what is happening in healthcare informatics and why."—C. William Hanson, III, MD, Chief Medical Information Officer and Vice President, University of Pennsylvania Health System.
