About the Book

Introduction to Nursing Informatics, edited by Kathryn J. Hannah, Marion J. Ball, and Margaret J.A. Edwards, is a foundational primer for anyone new to the field of nursing informatics. Part of Springer's long-running Health Informatics series — launched in 1988 as Computers in Health Care and renamed in 1998 to reflect the discipline's rapid evolution — the book brings together eminent international experts to provide a comprehensive, current account of how information technology intersects with nursing practice.

The book covers virtually every aspect of computers, information technology, and information management systems used by nurses, moving from general information management requirements through to specific clinical practice applications, and from the history of health care computing to the practical concerns of implementation. This edition has been expanded and updated to reflect the remarkable technical advances achieved in health care in recent years, adding new chapters on clinical information systems and Internet usage, along with illustrative examples and valuable information resources throughout. Core topics include telecommunications and informatics, nursing aspects of health information systems, clinical practice applications of nursing informatics, infrastructure elements of the health informatics environment, and future opportunities for nurses in health informatics. Designed as a genuine primer rather than a competitor to advanced technical references, the book equips readers with the basic knowledge needed to select and use information systems and information management across every area of nursing practice, education, administration, and research.
