Description

Healthcare IT systems are extraordinarily complex, highly regulated, and intensely private. They can also literally be a matter of life or death! Developers specializing in healthcare IT need to understand this unique set of constraints and how they affect application design, development, and deployment. Healthcare IT delivers the skills and domain knowledge you need to become an effective contributor to—or leader of—a healthcare IT team.

In this engaging book, author William Laolagi explores an end-to-end Electronic Health Record (EHR) application. You’ll appreciate how he demystifies industry standards like HL7 and FHIR and shows you how to integrate modern approaches like event-driven messaging and AI within regulatory boundaries. As you go, you’ll develop the ability to communicate effectively with stakeholders using accurate healthcare IT terminology and learn the benefits of differentiating your skill set in this challenging field.
