Biomedical Informatics: An Introduction to Information Systems and Software in Medicine and Health

Dr. David J. Lubliner's book: Biomedical Informatics; An Introduction to Systems and Software in Medicine and Health,is one of the most detailed books I've read on any subject in college.As a student at NJIT, I bought the book for my informatics classes, like any college student, you may get turned off from reading text books or its just not your thing, but this one is something else.For example, let us say, the purchaser of the book wanted to know about HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), turn to page 28 in the text book. Here you will learn exactly; when it was started, who started it, the links and laws that come with it, what came after it, who added stuff to it and, the frame work flow chart of what follows after each major addition.Every chapter is like this, the information is well placed and flows from subject to subject in each section of a chapter like water in a stream.There is over 424 pages in this book and twelve chapters; the book covers content from HIPAA (chapter 2), to types of Imaging (Chapter 8), Security (Chapter 5, my favorite) to even the future of healthcare bioinformatics. one of the smallest text books I've gotten in college, but yet I've gotten more information out of this one than anything I've previously read.I fully recommend this book to anyone. If you're looking to get any level of information on the subject, you could walk into this without knowing anything and with the amount of details that are in the 424 pages, you will come out with the information you need.I posted the link below if anyone else is interested.
