About this title

Synopsis

The fact that information technology is rapidly transforming health care should come as no surprise to anyone. From robotic arms that perform surgery to nanorobots that deliver drugs through the bloodstream, the days of being tended to by the doctor seem to have fully given way to machines and software. However, information technology’s evolutionary impact on health care isn’t all alarming and whistles. Some of health care’s most important changes can slip beneath the radar due to their more pedestrian presentation, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t just as revolutionary as mini robots zipping through veins. Take the burgeoning field of health informatics, for example. A specialization that combines communications, health information technology, and health care to improve patient care, it’s at the forefront of the current technological shift in medicine.
