Biomedical Informatics: Computer Applications in Health Care and Biomedicine, 3rd Edition

This book focuses on the role of computers in the provision of medical services. It provides both a conceptual framework and a practical approach for the implementation and management of IT used to improve the delivery of health care. Inspired by a Stanford University training program, it fills the need for a high quality text in computers and medicine. It meets the growing demand by practitioners, researchers, and students for a comprehensive introduction to key topics in the field. Completely revised and expanded, this work includes several new chapters filled with brand new material.

Several CHP/PCOR faculty played key roles as authors in the 3rd edition of this textbook that has served as a core reference for graduate training programs in medical informatics.
