By William F. Bria II, Richard L. Rydell, William F. Bria

While computer use soars in almost every facet of todaya s culture, thata 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."
