Through more than a decade of evolution in the field of biomedical informatics, the first and second editions of Biomedical Informatics: Computer Applications in Health Care and Biomedicine have been leading resources for informatics students, researchers, and practitioners. This Third Editions (renamed Biomedical Informatics to reflect wider breadth of the field), heavily updated and revised to include the most current thought in the biomedical informatics field, continues the tradition of unparalleled excellence.
The field of biomedical informatics sits at the crossroads of computer science, decision science, information science, cognitive science, and biomedicine. Biomedical Informatics, Third Edition, brings together leaders from many of these areas in one comprehensive text designed to both introduce an explore topics fundamental to the discipline. Each chapter has been drawn from expert knowledge and tested in biomedical informatics courses across the country, together creating an effective textbook for students as well as a useful reference for professionals.
The practice of modern medicine and biomedical research is growing increasingly dependent upon information technology to fill a wide range of needs, from interpreting laboratory results to managing patient information. Biomedical informatics, Third Edition, provides the conceptual framework and practical know-how to navigate this integral discipline.
The Third Edition includes revisions to all chapters from the second edition plus new chapters in the following topic areas:
Cognitive Science and Biomedical Informatics
Natural Language and Text Processing in Biomedicine
Imaging and structural Informatics
Consumer Health Informatics and Telemedicine
Public Health Informatics and the Health Information Infrastructure
Imaging Systems in Radiology
