Practitioners, in particular, need to understand the alternative technologies and approaches available for their use in individual patient care and more continuous management of their chronic disease patients. To efficiently meet these needs, this book provides an introduction to the rationale for care transformation through clinical informatics; its application to patient care outside of hospitals; and a look at its future.  Key points are illustrated throughout by actual examples of open source and commercial health IT products and services. While written with practitioners and students entering the field of clinical informatics in mind, the book eschews technical terminology and is easily accessible by the lay reader not proficient in clinical medicine or information technology. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Computer Science,$x2191-5768 606 $aMedical informatics 606 $aCloud computing 615 0$aMedical informatics. 615 0$aCloud computing. 676 $a610.28 700 $aBraunstein$b Mark$01764075 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910437585803321 996 $aHealth informatics in the cloud$94204815 997 $aUNINA
