Reviews and Awards
"This book is absolutely excellent and extremely well written. The tone is of a calm, knowledgeable, wise, concerned expert. The background explanation of the troubled, fragmented United States healthcare system is explained quite evenly. The clarity and simplicity used by the authors to define, explain, and give interesting helpful examples for their lessons make very complex concepts easy to understand." -- Karen Ogrady, MLIS MA Ed, University of San Diego, Doody's Reviews
"Essentials of Clinical Informatics has been designed to serve as an 'on ramp' into the field. It explains the key technologies of health informatics clearly and succinctly always using simple, clear jargon-free language supplemented by frequent bulleted lists. It does the same for the complex clinical, financial, and policy issues and challenges that surround and often impede progress in the field. This book is a welcome addition that could be read on their own by clinicians or other non-technical readers interested in entering the field or getting a broad overview of it. It serves equally well as a text in a short course for students with similar backgrounds and objectives." -- Mark L. Braunstein, MD, Professor of the Practice in Health Informatics, School of Interactive Computing, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA
"In Essentials of Clinical Informatics, Drs. Frisse and Misulis explain the broad field of clinical informatics to the practicing clinician, aspiring informatician, and healthcare executive. With real-world practical examples in each chapter, they are able to make an often esoteric subject more accessible. This volume is required reading for all healthcare professionals who hope to understand how to succeed in an increasingly digital medical world." --W. Jake Lancaster MD, MSHA, MSACI, Chief Medical Information Officer, West Tennessee Healthcare, Jackson, TN
