CONCEPTS AND TRENDS IN HEALTHCARE INFORMATION S...

Concepts and Trends in Healthcare Information Systems covers the latest research topics in the
field from leading researchers and practitioners. This book offers theory-driven research that
explores the role of Information Systems in the delivery of healthcare in its diverse
organizational and regulatory settings. In addition to the embedded role of Information
Technology (IT) in clinical and diagnostics equipment  Information Systems are uniquely
positioned to capture  store  process  and communicate timely information to decision makers
for better coordination of healthcare at both the individual and population levels. For example
data mining and decision support capabilities can identify potential adverse events for an
individual patient while also contributing to the population's health by providing insights
into the causes of disease complications. Information systems have great potential to reduce
healthcare costs and improve outcomes. The healthcare delivery systems share similar
characteristics with most service and productive organizations  but also exhibit specific
characteristics  which are related to the complexity and diversity of healthcare production 
including the dissimilar ways healthcare professionals discharge their clinical tasks. New
requirements and technological advances occurring in healthcare  information systems  and
information technology have influenced the evolving role of healthcare information systems and
related technology  and this book will help bring the field up to date.
