Principles of Health Interoperability HL7 and SNOMED (Health Information Technology Standards)

Annotation The Aims And Scope Of The Second Edition Are Unchanged From The First Edition. The Major Market Is In Health Informatics Education. The Three Part Format, Which Covers Principles Of Health Interoperability, Hl7 And Interchange Formats, And Snomed Ct And Clinical Terminology, Works Well. In The Us, The Onc (office Of The National Coordinator For Health Information Technology) Has Estimated That The Hitech Stimulus Will Create More Than 50,000 New Jobs For Health Informatics Professionals, Who Need To Be Educated.

The documentation of HL7 and SNOMED runs to tens of thousands of pages and creates a steep learning curve and barrier to entry. Principles of Health Interoperability HL7 and SNOMED provides a clear introduction to these standards, explaining the core principles for the health IT professional, student, clinician and healthcare manager In a field of notorious heterogeneity, it is more crucial than ever to facilitate interoperability between healthcare computer systems. This text, now fully updated in a second edition, is a detailed guide to the complexities of the HL7 and SNOMED standards. Joined-up healthcare makes information available when and where it is needed to improve safety, efficiency and effectiveness. Joined-up healthcare depends on standards. This book covers the two leading standards - SNOMED and HL7.
