Health Information Science book series(call for book
proposals)
Aims
and Goals: With the development of database systems
and networking technologies, Hospital Information Management Systems (HIMS) and
web-based clinical or medical systems (such as the Medical Director, a
generic GP clinical system) are widely used in health and clinical practices.
Healthcare and medical service are more data-intensive and evidence-based
since electronic health records are now used to track individuals’ and
communities’ health information. These highlights substantially motivate and
advance the emergence and the progress of health informatics research and
practice. Health Informatics continues to gain interest from both academia
and health industries. The significant initiatives of using
information, knowledge and communication technologies in health industries
ensures patient safety, improve population health and facilitate the
delivery of government healthcare services. Books in the series will reflect
technology’s cross-disciplinary research in IT and health/medical science to
assist in disease diagnoses, treatment, prediction and monitoring through the
modelling, design, development, visualization,
integration and management of health related information. These technologies
include information systems, web technologies, data mining, image processing,
user interaction and interfaces, sensors and wireless networking, and are
applicable to a wide range of health-related information such as medical
data, biomedical data, bioinformatics data, and public health data. |
