The wonders of healthcare information technology are endless. Using this book I was able to get a grasp on what it takes to manage an information system and the data that it collects. One of my favorite parts of this book was learning about HL7, which is a standardization of codes that allow for information systems to speak with each other. This type of innovation is what will help the healthcare community provide continuous and integrated health care across the United States. Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoy this book and are able to gain and understanding of HIT as I was!

Taught healthcare it grad course and used this as my textbook. Didn’t teach directly from it but used it as a baseline for students to supplement my lectures.
