Nursing Informatics

The first volume in a new series, Computers in Health Care, is a comprehensive work demonstrating the application of computer technology which directly affects nurses in clinical practice, administration, education and research. Over thirty health care professionals have contributed to the international perspective of this work in order to provide the most up-to-date information on computer science and technology as applied to the nursing profession. Topics include: mastering change, integrating nursing and computing, new roles for nurses, clinical practice and administration, as well as future trends in this field. An important aspect of this work is the non-technical treatment of computing which makes it easily understandable for nurses and other health care professionals without a background in computing.
