【内容简介】

这本重要教科书的第5版继续满足从业者、研究人员、教育工作者和学生日益增长的需求，即全面介绍生物医学信息学的关键主题以及生物医学科学、患者护理、公共卫生和信息技术（IT）交叉点的潜在科学问题。它强调了该领域的概念基础，而不是技术细节，为读者理解、评估和利用生物医学信息学和健康信息技术提供了所需的研究工具。它侧重于实际例子、附加文献指南、章节摘要和综合词汇表，其中对自学或课堂使用的重复术语进行了简明定义。它反映了计算机和医疗保健领域持续发生的显著变化，以及人们对信息技术在护理协调中必须发挥的作用的兴趣激增，以及基因组学与临床实践和治疗创新的融合。关于人机交互、移动健康、个人健康信息学和精准医学，引入了新的和经过大量修订的章节，而其他章节的结构经过了广泛修订，以反映该领域的发展。其组织和理念保持不变，专注于信息和知识管理科学，以及计算机和通信在现代生物医学研究、健康和医疗保健中的作用。

This 5th edition of this essential textbook continues to meet the growing demand of practitioners, researchers, educators, and students for a comprehensive introduction to key topics in biomedical informatics and the underlying scientific issues that sit at the intersection of biomedical science, patient care, public health and information technology (IT). Emphasizing the conceptual basis of the field rather than technical details, it provides the tools for study required for readers to comprehend, assess, and utilize biomedical informatics and health IT. It focuses on practical examples, a guide to additional literature, chapter summaries and a comprehensive glossary with concise definitions of recurring terms for self-study or classroom use. It reflects the remarkable changes in both computing and health care that continue to occur and the exploding interest in the role that IT must play in care coordination and the melding of genomics with innovations in clinical practice and treatment.  New and heavily revised chapters have been introduced on human-computer interaction, mHealth, personal health informatics and precision medicine, while the structure of the other chapters has undergone extensive revisions to reflect the developments in the area. The organization and philosophy remain unchanged, focusing on the science of information and knowledge management, and the role of computers and communications in modern biomedical research, health and health care.
