| Summary: | "Transforming Health Care Through Information, Second Edition, builds upon case studies from actual healthcare institutions through all phases of the information system induction process. With the growth of information and focus on healthcare informatics, there remains little, if any, usage of case studies. This comprehensive second edition builds upon the specific examples of case studies to exemplify the various phases of introducing technological advancements into healthcare institutions." "Transforming Health Care Through Information, Second Edition, follows the integration of technological tools from beginning to end, exemplifying and examining the definition of change in this framework, the practical implementation of these changes, economic factors relating to the choice and success of certain systems, leadership styles and management tools, as well as resulting tensions and the management of adverse reactions to the new system once it has been actualized." "This comprehensive collection of case studies and expounding text serves as a learning and teaching tool in the field of healthcare informatics. The case studies allow the reader to learn from the real-life successes and failures of other healthcare professionals and therefore to assess each unique situation to better manage and adapt to pending technological introductions."--Jacket.
