Handbook of Informatics for Nurses & Healthcare Professionals examines key issues in adopting and applying healthcare IT and nursing informatics. It offers nurses and other healthcare professionals a much-needed practical guide to using computer applications and healthcare information systems.

The authors cover the concepts, skills and tasks needed to achieve national IT goals to help transform healthcare delivery. Prior editions of this title have been recommended by ANCC as a preparatory guide for the ANCC Informatics Nurse certification exam.

In the 6th Edition, all chapters have been thoroughly revised to reflect the current and evolving practice of healthcare IT and informatics. The new edition builds upon the expertise of contributors involved in day-to-day informatics practice, education and research.
