AI's impact on human societies is and will be drastic in so many
ways. AI is being adopted and implemented around the world, and
government and universities are investing in AI studies, research,
and development. However, very little research exists about the
impact of AI on our lives. This book will address this gap; it will
gather reflections from around the world to assess the impact of AI
on different aspects of society as well as propose ways in which we
can address this impact and the research agendas needed.
Virtual communities have gained popularity in many growing fields
and have continued to expand into healthcare environments.
Analyzing the impact these communities have can help provide more
effective methods to support patients and community members. Novel
Applications of Virtual Communities in Healthcare Settings is a
crucial scholarly reference source that examines the challenges
virtual communities can face, as well as the advantages they
provide to members of healthcare organizations. Featuring pertinent
topics that include evaluation frameworks, disaster management,
knowledge translation, and user engagement, this book is ideal for
medical practitioners, academicians, students, and healthcare
researchers that are interested in taking part in the latest
discussions of virtual communities within medical fields.
This book offers a practical introduction to healthcare analytics
that does not require a background in data science or statistics.
It presents the basics of data, analytics and tools and includes
multiple examples of their applications in the field. The book also
identifies practical challenges that fuel the need for analytics in
healthcare as well as the solutions to address these problems. In
the healthcare field, professionals have access to vast amount of
data in the form of staff records, electronic patient record,
clinical findings, diagnosis, prescription drug, medical imaging
procedure, mobile health, resources available, etc. Managing the
data and analyzing it to properly understand it and use it to make
well-informed decisions can be a challenge for managers and health
care professionals. A new generation of applications, sometimes
referred to as end-user analytics or self-serve analytics, are
specifically designed for non-technical users such as managers and
business professionals. The ability to use these increasingly
accessible tools with the abundant data requires a basic
understanding of the core concepts of data, analytics, and
interpretation of outcomes. This book is a resource for such
individuals to demystify and learn the basics of data management
and analytics for healthcare, while also looking towards future
directions in the field.
Healthcare providers require timely and accurate information about
their patients. As such, a great amount of effort and resources are
spent to ensure that the right information is presented to the
right people at the right time. Research Perspectives on the Role
of Informatics in Health Policy and Management focuses on the
advancements of Health Information Science in order to solve
current and forthcoming problems in the health sector. Managers,
policy makers, researchers, and Masters and PhD students in
healthcare related fields will use this book to provide necessary
insight on healthcare delivery and also to inspire new ideas and
practices to effectively provide patients with the greatest quality
care.
This book provides a hands-on introduction to Machine Learning (ML)
from a multidisciplinary perspective that does not require a
background in data science or computer science. It explains ML
using simple language and a straightforward approach guided by
real-world examples in areas such as health informatics,
information technology, and business analytics. The book will help
readers understand the various key algorithms, major software
tools, and their applications. Moreover, through examples from the
healthcare and business analytics fields, it demonstrates how and
when ML can help them make better decisions in their disciplines.
The book is chiefly intended for undergraduate and graduate
students who are taking an introductory course in machine learning.
It will also benefit data analysts and anyone interested in
learning ML approaches.
Emergent technologies, including ambient intelligence and pervasive
computing, promise a considerable advance in the way people use
virtual communities, and new, innovative applications are making
virtual communities more dynamic and usable than ever. Virtual
Community Building and the Information Society: Current and Future
Directions offers a holistic approach to virtual communities,
providing relevant theoretical frameworks and presenting the latest
empirical research on virtual technology, infrastructures, content
modeling, knowledge modeling, content management, context
awareness, mobility, security and trust. It also explores the
social impact and applications of virtual communities, providing
valuable insights for professionals, researchers, and managers in
fields including information systems, computer science, knowledge
management, software engineering, healthcare, business, information
and communication sciences, education, and sociology who want to
improve their understanding of the strategic role of virtual
communities in the information society.
