Health Informatics by Gordon Brown
Historically, informatics was considered as a technology for automating clinical decision making and processes. This book views informatics as a transforming technology, one that alters the structure of clinical processes and broader health organizations. It explores the use of health information technology from a systems perspective. The traditional three-pronged informatics model--cellular, clinical, and population--is expanded to include dynamic systems, which adds to and alters previous conceptions.
This text integrates the medical, nursing, and healthcare IT professions. Its primary audience is graduate and professional students.
