About this book
Informatics for Health Professionals 2nd Edition PDF by Kathleen Mastrian and Dee McGonigle is offered here as a PDF eBook. The second edition introduces health informatics from a multidisciplinary perspective using the Foundation of Knowledge model to explain how data become information, knowledge and clinical decision support. It reviews health-information systems, electronic records, interoperability, consumer informatics, mobile technologies, care-delivery applications, evidence-based practice, safety, privacy and the role of informatics across health professions. Rather than focusing only on nursing or information technology, the text shows how different clinical and allied-health roles interact with digital systems in everyday care. It is especially useful for students entering healthcare professions who need a practical understanding of how information systems influence documentation, communication, workflow and patient outcomes.
Designed for allied health students and healthcare professionals, this edition provides a structured resource for understanding how informatics principles connect information technology with professional work.
This listing is for the 2nd edition of Informatics for Health Professionals. Check the title, edition, authors/editors, and other product information before ordering if you need the book for a particular course, syllabus, examination, or professional reference.
Building Blocks of Health Informatics
Informatics for Health Professionals introduces the field through the Foundation of Knowledge model and the information needs of multiple health professions. Its organization moves from foundational concepts to choosing and using information systems, applications in care delivery, advanced topics, and future practice. The second edition expands discussion of interoperability, social media, professional education, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. Electronic records, workflow, data, and evidence appear within a wider account of how knowledge is developed and used. The book is intended for professions such as rehabilitation, diagnostic imaging, respiratory care, nutrition, and other allied health fields that increasingly work with digital information.
Informatics Concepts and Professional Applications
The 2nd edition covers the following areas:
- Foundation of Knowledge: A model for connecting information with professional knowledge.
- Information systems: Concepts involved in choosing and using healthcare systems.
- Care-delivery applications: Informatics within everyday professional practice.
- Interoperability: Exchange and use of information across systems.
- Social media communication: Digital interaction involving patients and professionals.
- Education and continuing development: Informatics tools supporting professional learning.
- Machine learning and artificial intelligence: Developing information-processing approaches in healthcare.
Connecting Informatics with Allied Health Practice
This text is useful for readers whose professional role involves digital information but who need a clearer account of the concepts behind it. A health record, communication tool, or data display is part of a larger process of acquiring, interpreting, and using knowledge. The Foundation of Knowledge model gives readers a way to examine that process. The broad professional focus also helps allied health students see where their information needs overlap with those of colleagues in other disciplines. Readers can use the progression from foundations to applications to discuss workflow, interoperability, education, and emerging technologies without limiting informatics to one profession or one software product.
