Clinical Informatics Study Guide: Text and Review

by John T. Finnell (editor), Brian E. Dixon (Editor)

This books provides content that arms clinicians with the core knowledge and competencies necessary to be effective informatics leaders in health care organizations. The content is drawn from the areas recognized by the American Council on Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) as necessary to prepare physicians to become Board Certified in Clinical Informatics. Clinical informaticians transform health care by analyzing, designing, selecting, implementing, managing, and evaluating information and communication technologies (ICT) that enhance individual and population health outcomes, improve patient care processes, and strengthen the clinician-patient relationship. As the specialty grows, the content in this book covers areas useful to nurses, pharmacists, and information science graduate students in clinical/health informatics programs. These core competencies for clinical informatics are needed by all those who lead and manage ICT in health organizations, and there are likely to be future professional certifications that require the content in this text.​

Read the 2022 version. Still relevant but lacking in lots of emerging technologies. A good primer for someone new into the field but by no means sufficient in techology and governance aspect. Overall nice refreshment, although I feel like many of the topics are way too superficial and US healthcare centric.
