  1. – :

    In the United States and elsewhere, many professionals and students are using and learning about electronic health records (EHRs) for the first time. There couldn’t be a better time for a great, comprehensive book describing what EHRs are, where they came from, how they are used, and their future. Electronic Health Records for Quality Nursing & Health Care is such a book. For those new to the field the book has scenarios to aid in understanding functions and concepts introduced in the text. For those wishing more detail, each chapter includes long and well-selected list of references to introduce the literature surrounding EHRs. And for everyone there is clear, detailed prose on subjects ranging from the history of EHRs to subjects such as considerations for clinician representation on EHR steering committees. It is accurate—not surprising given Dr. Kelley’s background and credentials—and readable and explains subjects in sufficient detail to provide a running start for everyone, and to fill in gaps in knowledge of those with experience in the field. It concentrates on the perspective of nurses, but the book will be valuable for those in all health professions and for students of clinical informatics without a healthcare background. I’m very impressed with this book and will recommend it.

As the importance of informatics spreads across all aspects of healthcare, the numbers of articles and books published on this topic have increased exponentially. Knowing what is available and what is important is a challenge.

The Electronic Health Record (EHR) is the centerpiece of the effective use of informatics in health and health care. As we create big data and increasingly depend on decision making with Computer Decision Support, quality becomes a major concern. We are not yet at the level of quality we need for the important use of data and extraction of knowledge. Electronic Health Records for Quality Nursing & Health Care provides an opportunity to view the changing roles of nurses to take full advantage of the opportunities offered by technology and the use of that technology for healthcare. The book is an easy read and is applicable for undergraduate or graduate work, or even just for someone interested in the field. The book addresses the right level of depth on a topic–deep enough for the reader to have a good understanding yet not get bogged down in too many details…

…Electronic Health Records for Quality Nursing & Health Care is a significant contribution to the field of literature in informatics. Some features that I like very much are the various scenarios included in each chapter that clearly help the readers increase their understanding of the material. The references at the end of each chapter are worth the price of the book. I am impressed with how Dr. Kelley weaves the reference material into her writings.

I strongly recommend this book for your book shelf. Whether you use this book for teaching or for class material, it is well suited for both. Dr. Kelley has grasped the flow and development of the field and shares that with the reader.
