About this title

Synopsis

The aims and scope of the second edition are unchanged from the first edition. The major market is in health informatics education. The three part format, which covers principles of health interoperability, HL7 and interchange formats, and SNOMED CT and clinical terminology, works well. In the US, The ONC (Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology) has estimated that the HITECH stimulus will create more than 50,000 new jobs for health informatics professionals, who need to be educated.

About the Author

Tim Benson graduated from the University of Nottingham as a mechanical engineer and was introduced to healthcare computing at the Charing Cross Hospital in London (now part of Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust), where he evaluated the socio-economic benefits of medical computing systems. In 1980 he founded Abies Informatics Ltd, one of the first GP computer suppliers where, with James Read and David Markwell, they developed the Read Codes, which evolved to become the national standard for UK primary care and one of the two sources of SNOMED CT. In 1990 he led the first European project team to assess the need for open standards in health informatics, which led to the European Committee for Health Informatics Standards (CEN TC251) and two decades of work on interoperability standards and collaboration with HL7.
