Information systems alert users of potential medical errors, streamline processes, and support clinical decision-making. Although promising, the value of information systems to enable improved clinical quality and reduce costs has been mixed. Given the significant financial and social costs to implement clinical information sys-tems, predicting their impact on performance outcomes is crucial. Unfortu-na-tely, predicting the impact of clinical information systems is difficult because hospitals are considered \"complex systems\". A complex system is characterized by nonlinear interactive components, emergent phenomena, continuous and discontinuous change, and unpredictable outcomes. This book utilizes a novel approach to computational modeling by simulating the impact of best practices guidelines on performance metrics. The results provide a robust and low cost method for predicting what conditions need to exist for a successful implementation. This book is directed towards healthcare administrators, informaticists, nurses, physicans and other medical professionals.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VDM Verlag Dr. Mueller E.K.","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47584777535639,"sku":"9783836424899","price":5445.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783836424899.webp?v=1774957839","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/complex-healthcare-systems-and-information-technology-9783836424899","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
