[AISWorld] Health IS Resources and Opportunities for Research

[Roger McHaney]

Modern health care is dependent on many forms of information technology and is impacted by patients’ use of technology. In addition to systems that directly support visits, diagnoses, and treatments, patients also use technology to supplement the opinions of their caregivers. For instance, patients seek health-related material from web-based sources which may not always contain up-to-date or accurate information. Likewise, they develop expectations from social media use and expect similar technology to enhance and facilitate communications with physicians, nurses, pharmacists and others. To deal with these emerging realities, health care providers have started to change the way they deliver information. Likewise, new decision-making models and information-delivery methods motivated by patient empowerment seek to enhance patient outcomes in imaginative and collaborative ways.

The newly released book from IGI Global, entitled Impacts of Information Technology on Patient Care and Empowerment, provides a summary of work being done in this area. The ongoing project is international in scope with contributors from around the globe! This book would be excellent for inclusion in Health IS seminars, research courses, and to open up ideas for future research.
