The “Handbook of Informatics for Nurses & Healthcare Professionals” is an authoritative, up-to-date resource that equips nursing students, practicing nurses, allied-health professionals, and health-IT administrators with the knowledge and skills needed to navigate and leverage modern healthcare information systems. This handbook addresses the evolving role of informatics in healthcare delivery, offering practical guidance on applying technology to improve patient care, streamline workflows, and support evidence-based practice.

Developed by experienced authors, the book explores a broad range of topics — from fundamentals of healthcare informatics and data ethics to advanced issues like telehealth, electronic health records (EHRs), health information exchange, system implementation, data security, and disaster recovery. It’s designed to serve both as an academic textbook and as a hands-on professional reference for real-world clinical and administrative settings.

🧠 Why This Book Stands Out

With rapidly evolving healthcare technology and increasing dependence on digital systems, this handbook stands out by bridging the gap between nursing practice and information technology. It not only teaches foundational concepts and theory, but emphasizes practical implementation — making it ideal for real-life healthcare environments. Its holistic approach ensures that readers understand not only the technical aspects, but also ethical, regulatory, and usability issues involved in healthcare informatics.
