Handbook of Informatics for Nurses & Healthcare Professionals / 6th Edition by Hebda / Hunter & Czar

Nursing informatics stopped being a specialty the moment every shift began and ended at a screen. Hebda, Hunter and Czar’s Handbook of Informatics for Nurses & Healthcare Professionals is the course text that treats the electronic health record as a clinical instrument rather than an IT problem, and the 6th edition brings the material up to date with current interoperability and privacy practice.

What the book covers

• Electronic health records: selection, implementation, and the workflow costs nobody budgets for
• Data standards, terminologies and interoperability between systems
• Clinical decision support, alerts, and alarm fatigue
• HIPAA, security, and patient privacy in connected environments
• Telehealth, consumer health tools, and informatics in quality improvement
• The system life cycle, from needs assessment through post-implementation evaluation

Who it’s for

Undergraduate and graduate nursing students taking an informatics course, plus practising nurses moving into a super-user, educator, or informatics coordinator role.
