Health Informatics: Practical Guide. Seventh Edition
The seventh edition (2018) comprises many of the chapters included in the sixth edition and the supplement with new content in each chapter and multiple new authors. We are honored to have William R. Hersh, MD, from Oregon Health & Science University, as co-editor of this edition and main editor of all future editions. Importantly, he is the main contributor to multiple chapters. We will continue the same overall chapter framework. Chapters will begin with learning objectives, followed by an introduction and history of the subject, and conclude with challenges/barriers, resources, recommended reading, future trends, key points, conclusions, and references. In the seventh edition, we focused on post-HITECH Act changes in health informatics and other interesting developments in the field that have occurred since we published the sixth edition four years ago.
Several new authors have been added to the existing authors. The chapter on electronic health records was co-authored by Dr. Vishnu Mohan from the Oregon Health & Science University. Brian Dixon from the Regenstrief Institute authored the chapter on public health informatics. Tom Martin from Temple University co-authored the chapter on telemedicine. John Rasmussen is the new author of the Privacy and Security chapter, and Harry Burke is the new author of the chapter on patient safety, quality, and value.
