About this eTextbook
Information Technology for Healthcare Managers Though healthcare is largely technology driven, the deployment of health information technology (HIT) has occurred in waves rather than a steady flow, and usually in response to government mandates. This emergent HIT strategy has culminated in highly complex and dynamic systems crafted over many years using products from multiple vendors. Healthcare organizations are now focused on big data aggregated from myriad data-producing applications both in and beyond the enterprise.
Healthcare leaders must position themselves to leverage the new opportunities that arise from HIT's ascendance and to mine the vast amount of available data for competitive advantage. Where can they turn for insight? With the unique advantage of both academic and real-world experience in HIT leadership, the authors of Information Technology for Healthcare Managers blend management theory, cutting-edge tech knowledge, and a thorough grounding in the healthcare applications of technology.
The ninth edition offers the following: • Rigorously updated content that reflects this rapidly changing field, including discussions of the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, blockchain, cybersecurity, and cloud computing • An entirely new chapter on data analytics for leaders who want to harness the power of data for decision support, evidence-based management, and other strategic uses • A review of the core HIT elements of healthcare delivery • Guidance on management issues specific to healthcare organizations, including regulation, HIT and data governance, infrastructure, the selection of applications, contract negotiating, and portfolio management • Management and systems theory, applied to the challenges of HIT Opinions abound on technology's best uses for society, but healthcare organizations need more than opinion—they need knowledge and strategy. This book will help leaders combine tech savvy with business savvy for sustainable success in a dynamic environment.
