Editorial description(s):

From Book News, Inc.
Despite its daily use of advanced computer systems, the medical field is far behind the general business world in its integration with the Internet. The editors of this volume point out some of the many benefits to be gained by the easier exchange of information, including the quicker discovery of disease patterns, keeping health care workers trained in the latest techniques and streamlining the management of healthcare organizations. But, they admit, there are many obstacles, including the formidable task of maintaining patient privacy. This book, aimed at students, policy makers and health care administrators, discusses these and other issues concerning the meeting of the Internet and the healthcare world, with nineteen articles divided into five broad categories: an overview of experiences and expectations of healthcare on the Internet, online medical information, developing and evaluating health information sites, health e-commerce, and public policy.Book News, Inc.®, Portland, OR --This text refers to the edition.
