Description
The Complete Healthcare Information Technology Reference and Exam Guide
Gain the skills and knowledge required to put in force and make stronger healthcare IT (HIT) systems in more than a few clinical and healthcare business settings. Health Information Technology Exam Guide for CHTS and CAHIMS Certifications prepares IT professionals to transition into HIT with coverage of topics ranging from health data standards to project management. This new edition includes broadened security content along with coverage of disruptive innovations such as complex platforms that make stronger big data, genomics, telemedicine, mobile devices, and consumers. Learn about achieving true interoperability, updates to HIPAA rules, and FHIR and SMART standards.
“This book is a useful reference for understanding what has come before and what trends are likely to shape the future. The world of big data, precision medicine, genomics, and telehealth require us to break old paradigms of architecture and functionality even as not interrupting existing care processes and revenue cycles… We’re dealing with state sponsored cyberterrorism, hacktivism, and organized crime. I describe healthcare IT security as a cold war… You’ll hear from the experts who created most of the regulations and best practices we’re the use of today to keep information private. I am hoping you enjoy this book as much as I have and that it finds a place of importance on your book shelf.”
