Now available: Second Edition to a HIMSS best seller!


Ken Ong, MD, MPH, Editor

 

Medical Informatics: An Executive Primer is the follow-up to the award-winning first edition. Published in 2007, the first edition examined how information technologies applied in hospitals settings, at the physician's office and in patients' homes were transforming healthcare delivery. This updated edition examines the advances that have taken place in the past four years, as healthcare providers increasingly utilize health IT, including ambulatory electronic health records, clinical decision support, personal health records, identity management, and health information exchange to care for patients and improve quality and patient safety.


New to this second edition are chapters focused on how federal legislation--namely, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act--is providing financial incentives for healthcare providers that demonstrate the meaningful use of health IT. The second edition also features a physician sharing how IT enables the patient-centered medical home in his practice and several case studies, including lessons learned on how health IT is transforming healthcare at a rural health network, a small primary care practice, a fully integrated healthcare system with 2,000-plus affiliated physicians, and two hospitals that have achieved Stage 7 on the HIMSS Analytics EMR Adoption Model. 2011.

H.I.T. or Miss: Lessons Learned from Health Information Technology Implementations

Author:
Jonathan Leviss, MD

Description: In H.I.T. or Miss: Lessons Learned from Health Information Technology Implementations, the editors—all of whom have led successful electronic health record (EHR) and Health Information Technology (HIT) projects—have collected case studies of HIT implementations that didn't go as planned, offering expert insight into key obstacles that must be overcome to leverage IT and modernize and transform healthcare.
 
Through their study of HIT implementations that failed, the editors document, catalogue, and share key lessons that all project managers of HIT, health system leaders in informatics and technology, hospital executives, policy makers, and service and technology providers must learn in order to succeed with HIT.
 
H.I.T. or Miss presents a model to discuss HIT failures in a safe and protected manner, provding an opporutnity to focus on the lessons offered by a failed initiative as opposed to worrying about potential retribution for exposing a project as having failed.


 

Key Features:

  • Presents 17 de-identified, author-anonymous case studies that highlight specific failtures in health information techonology projects
  •  Author's analysis and editor's commentary on each case
  •  Lessons learned presented for each case
  •  Appendixes include an easily searchable listing of cases by project type and lessons learned, an extensive bibliography of resources, and full text of appliciable AHIMA and government resources.

The editor and associate editors all served on the 2007 leadership board of the Clinical Information Systems Working Group of the American Medical informatics Association (AMIA).
