This is a very good text book if you are thinking about implementing any new information systems in your hospital may be you can go through this text book. You can choose any of the chapters according to your requirement and read them. There are very good chapters especially in how to convince the management about the need for implementation of advanced IT systems, systematic thinking about the IT systems, how to manage organizational concerns and user resistance with respect to IT, understanding social impacts and more important how to manage security and information privacy in health care. Each chapter starts with a fictional case study later there will some questions related to that, which you can answer to get very good insight into the case study and incites interest in you to further concentrate on the rest of the chapter.
