An Introduction to Healthcare Informatics: Building Data-Driven Tools

An Introduction to Healthcare Informatics: Building Data-Driven Tools  bridges the gap between the current healthcare IT landscape and cutting  edge technologies in data science, cloud infrastructure, application  development and even artificial intelligence. Information technology  encompasses several rapidly evolving areas, however healthcare as a  field suffers from a relatively archaic technology landscape and a lack  of curriculum to effectively train its millions of practitioners in the  skills they need to utilize data and related tools.

The book  discusses topics such as data access, data analysis, big data current  landscape and application architecture. Additionally, it encompasses a  discussion on the future developments in the field. This book provides  physicians, nurses and health scientists with the concepts and skills  necessary to work with analysts and IT professionals and even perform  analysis and application architecture themselves.
