This innovative reference examines how
consumer health informatics (CHI) can transform healthcare systems stressed by
staffing shortages and budget constraints and challenged by patients taking a
more active role in their care. It situates CHI as vital to upgrading
healthcare service delivery, detailing the relationship between health
information technologies and quality healthcare, and outlining what
stakeholders need to learn for health IT systems to function effectively. Wide-ranging
content identifies critical issues and answers key questions at the consumer,
practitioner, administration, and staff levels, using examples from diverse
conditions, countries, technologies, and specialties. In this framework, the
benefits of CHI are seen across service domains, from individual patients and
consumers to healthcare systems and global health entities.
