Informatics Education in Healthcare: Lessons Learned [Paperback]

This book reviews and defines the current state of the art for informatics education in medicine and health care. This field has undergone considerable change as the field of informatics itself has evolved. Twenty years ago almost the only individuals involved in health care who had even heard the term informatics were those who identified themselves as medical or nursing informaticians.? Today, we have a variety of subfields of informatics including not just medical and nursing informatics, but informatics applied to specific health professions (such as dental or pharmacy informatics), as well as biomedical informatics, bioinformatics and public health informatics.??

?

The book addresses the broad range of informatics education programs available today.? The Editor and experienced internationally recognized informatics educators who have contributed to this work have made the tacit knowledge explicit and shared some of the lessons they have learned. This book therefore represents the key reference for all involved in the informatics education whether they be trainers or trainees.?

This book offers strategies, methods and suggested curriculum content for training and education programs in informatics and health IT, to prepare individuals as researchers, leaders, managers and developers of informatics tools, intervention and systems.Introduction and Overview.- Managing Unspoken Assumptions in Online Education.- Training for Informatics Research Careers: History of Extramural Informatics Training at the National Library of Medicine.- Clinical Informatics Subspecialty Certification and Training.- Education in Nursing Informatics.- Applied Informatics for Health IT Managers.- Informatics for the Health Information Technology Workforce.- Online Continuing Education in Informaticsthe AMIA 10x10 Experience.- Educating the Informatics-Enabled Physician.- Informatics Education for Health Administrators.- Bioinformatil“/
