Book Description
This timely new edition addresses gaps in the understanding of how health information technology (IT) impacts clinical workflows and how this impact is central to the safe and effective delivery of care to patients. The research in this area has advanced substantially in the past few years since the publication of the first edition, marked by milestone events such as the widespread and matured use of health IT, particularly electronic health records, and a new wave of innovations stimulated by the clinical application of AI-enabled systems such as ambient documentation technologies. This book has been expanded to reflect these new developments in the field and features clearly structured chapters covering a wide range of topics, including aspects of clinical workflows relevant to both practitioners and patients, tools for recording clinical workflow data, and techniques for potentially redesigning health IT-enabled care coordination. Reengineering Clinical Workflow in the Digital and AI Era: Toward Safer and More Efficient Care enables readers to develop a deeper understanding of clinical workflows and how they can potentially be modified to facilitate greater efficiency and safety in care provision, offering a valuable resource for both biomedical and health informatics professionals and trainees.
