- Summary
- "As the importance of electronic medical records grows, there is a greater need for healthcare professionals to understand the process of operating, maintaining, and enhancing clinical computing systems. Practical Guide to Clinical Computing Systems provides those in informatics graduate or fellowship training programs as well as the growing number of healthcare professionals adding informatics to their existing responsibilities with instruction for successful operation of these systems." "This book goes beyond the basics of informatics by bringing together the collective experience of healthcare and health information professionals who are successfully running clinical computing systems in five large medical centers. Chapters describe how to avoid and manage downtime and the ins-and-outs of dealing with computer-to-computer interfaces in the real world. Also included are step-by-step techniques for working with vendors, committees and medical center leaders. A must for anyone who oversees clinical computing systems, this book provides the relevant insights into what is needed to establish constant and reliable computing support systems in any medical center." --Book Jacket.
