Health Information Technology – Informatics & Telematics is a multidisciplinary publication intended for all healthcare students, practitioners and researchers who want to keep pace with developments and advances in the connected health trend encompassing the field of Health IT (HIT) – Informatics & Telematics (IT). The work is envisioned to be a completely restructured, expanded, and unique compilation of materials in the form of learning modules with specialized themes integrating new contributions, special sections, and streamlined discussions of more established as well as current hot topics. Each themed module includes motivating scenarios, real-world examples, press releases, stimulating cases, exhibits, illustrative graphics, tables, module-specific questions and data analytics tutorial exercises. Significant updates of emerging Health IT applications will be highlighted throughout the work.
The book will also feature interactive practical hands-on exercises that allow the students / learners to complete exercises using the state of the SAS healthcare data analytics platform. Students / learners will also participate in Data Visualization hands on exercises and assignments using the Tableau Business intelligence platform.
Key modules being planned with rooms to expand include:
HIT Taxonomy & Basic Concepts Module - Focusing on Definitions & Scoping of Topics: Evolution of Digital Health Systems; Theoretical Focus of Health Informatics & Telematics; Taxonomy of HIT-IT systems; HIT-IT Drivers & Challenges; Human & Technology interface;
