While computer use soars in almost every facet of todayâ€™s culture, thatâ€™s not routinely the case with clinicians. Authors Bria and Rydell offer a solution to this conundrum that can get physicians on board with using a patient care information system (PCIS).  The authors outline a phased and structured approach to successful implementation, backed by case studies showing how other healthcare organizations, both large and small, have achieved success. Topics include recognizing and avoiding pitfalls, selling the value of automation in healthcare, and designing a successful campaign. The authors offer recommendations and references independent of any particular technology. Special features in the book include a guide to careers for physicians in applied medical informatics and a list of acronyms used throughout the book. This book is designed to help healthcare information leaders get their organizations motivated, aligned and moving forward to put a patient care information system in the hands of clinicians.

To support the critical role of physicians in the successful implementation of a patient care information system (PCIS), the authors detail a plan for developing physician task forces and "physician champions" and suggest innovative ways to train physicians to use the technology effectively. This revised edition covers the influence of managed care on information systems, the benefits of clinical decision support to a PCIS, and such emerging technologies as telemedicine, wireless computing, and clinical applications of the World Wide Web.

Introducing Digital Communications into Your Medical Practice discusses how electronic medical records and personal health records now digitize patient information and make it accessible for review and easy to update by both doctors and patients. The text emphasizes on how the use of email and the internet will help patients to schedule appointments, access test results and research healthcare options. In addition, topics discussed include stories on how simple everyday telemedicine tools, such as telephones with cameras attached, enable doctors and nurses to carry on conversations with patients who are homebound and need daily monitoring. The text addresses the legislative initiatives that will protect physician and patients from the unauthorized access to medical records as well as discussing how e-prescribing doctor/pharmacist teams and automated databases help patients manage their medications more effectively. Case studies are also provided to illustrate real life situations showing how this technology is deployed and why it is so critical to healthcare.
