โฆ Synopsis
"Harnessing Health Information" is a series seeking to make information more understandable and accessible. It is written for the full range of pracititioners, managers and support staff. Its intention is to take the threat out of information and instead give confidence to how to find, appreciate and use information as a key resource for those who deliver, plan or manage healthcare. "Using Information and Communication Technology in Healthcare" is part of the above series and highlights the issue that healthcare professionals are required to use an increasing range of technologies in everyday healthcare. This jargon-free text underpins the learning outcomes of the Professional Awards in IM&T and presents a comprehensive, practical guide, which includes topics on hardware, software, databases, security and local area networks (LANs).
