Health Information Management - Integrating Information and Communication Technology in Health Care Work (Paperback)

In almost all Western countries, concerted efforts are undertaken to stimulate the use of information and communication technology (ICT) in healthcare. Yet the number of success stories are few and the frustrations many. Health Information Management is a new textbook that introduces readers to the challenges, the lessons learned and the new insights of health information management at the start of the 21st century.

With a strong international orientation and a critical eye on many traditional information management views, the book illustrates key developments by drawing on many examples from different countries. This comparative approach provides readers with a comprehensive and well-balanced perspective to this core management topic in the healthcare field. It highlights how seemingly 'technical' management decisions affect both clinicians and patients, and how the unpredictable nature of technology development in complex organizations may be handled.
