Biomedical Informatics (5th Ed., 5th ed. 2021) Computer Applications in Health Care and Biomedicine

Langue : Anglais
Couverture de l’ouvrage Biomedical Informatics

This 5th edition of this essential textbook continues to meet the growing demand of practitioners, researchers, educators, and students for a comprehensive introduction to key topics in biomedical informatics and the underlying scientific issues that sit at the intersection of biomedical science, patient care, public health and information technology (IT). Emphasizing the conceptual basis of the field rather than technical details, it provides the tools for study required for readers to comprehend, assess, and utilize biomedical informatics and health IT. It focuses on practical examples, a guide to additional literature, chapter summaries and a comprehensive glossary with concise definitions of recurring terms for self-study or classroom use.

Biomedical Informatics: Computer Applications in Health Care and Biomedicine reflects the remarkable changes in both computing and health care that continue to occur and the exploding interest in the role that IT must play in carecoordination and the melding of genomics with innovations in clinical practice and treatment.  New and heavily revised chapters have been introduced on human-computer interaction, mHealth, personal health informatics and precision medicine, while the structure of the other chapters has undergone extensive revisions to reflect the developments in the area. The organization and philosophy remain unchanged, focusing on the science of information and knowledge management, and the role of computers and communications in modern biomedical research, health and health care.

Edward H. Shortliffe is Chair Emeritus and Adjunct Professor in the Department of Biomedical Informatics at Columbia University's Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons. Previously he served as President and CEO of the American Medical Informatics Association. He was Professor of Biomedical Informatics at the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston and at Arizona State University. A board-certified internist, he was Founding Dean of the University of Arizona College of Medicine – Phoenix and served as Professor of Biomedical Informatics and of Medicine at Columbia University.  Before that he was Professor of Medicine and of Computer Science at Stanford University. Honors include his election to membership in the National Academy of Medicine (where he served on the executive council for six years and has chaired the membership committee) and in the American Society for Clinical Investigation. He has also been elected to fellowship in the American College of MedicalInformatics and the American Association for Artificial Intelligence. A Master of the American College of Physicians (ACP), he held a position for six years on that organization’s Board of Regents. He is Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Biomedical Informatics and has served on the editorial boards for several other biomedical informatics publications. In the early 1980s he was recipient of a research career development award from the National Library of Medicine. In addition, he received the Grace Murray Hopper Award of the Association for Computing Machinery in 1976, the Morris F. Collen Award of the American College of Medical Informatics in 2006, and was a Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation Faculty Scholar in General Internal Medicine. He has served on the oversight committee for the Division of Engineering and Physical Sciences (National Academy of Sciences), the National Committee for Vital and Health Statistics (NCVHS) and on the President's Information Technology Advisory Commi
