Though healthcare is largely technology driven, the deployment of health
information technology (HIT) has occurred in waves rather than a steady
flow. This emergent HIT strategy has culminated in highly complex and
dynamic systems crafted over many years using products from multiple vendors.
Healthcare leaders must position themselves to leverage the new opportunities
that arise from HIT's ascendance.
With the unique advantage of both academic and real-world experience in HIT
leadership, the authors of Information Technology for Healthcare Managers blend
management theory, cutting-edge tech knowledge, and a thorough grounding in
the healthcare applications of technology. The ninth edition offers the following:

Rigorously updated content that reflects this rapidly changing field,
including discussions of the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence,
blockchain, cybersecurity, and cloud computing
An entirely new chapter on data analytics
A review of the core HIT elements of healthcare delivery
Guidance on management issues specific to healthcare organizations,
including regulation, HIT and data governance, infrastructure, the selection
of applications, contract negotiating, and portfolio management
Management and systems theory, applied to the challenges of HIT

Opinions abound on technology's best uses for society, but healthcare
organizations need more than opinion-they need knowledge and strategy. This
book will help leaders combine tech savvy with business savvy for sustainable
success in a dynamic environment.
