“This first of its kind health informatics textbook provides a unique and very interactive introduction to the key concepts within the field of health informatics in Canada. The guiding framework adopted provides students with a rich and practical foundation of the topic paired with the associated technical aspects specific to healthcare. Students will gain valuable knowledge about the significance of data, how it is generated and used to create personal health records and electronic health records, the different types of systems used in Canada, and the several telemedicine applications available across the country. Highlighting both the current and future trends and challenges, this textbook enables students to be successful leaders in the field of health informatics.”

“This textbook is exactly what it purports to be: a Canadian perspective and herein lies both its strength and weakness. For Canadian students, this is a highly focused text, which relates topics to current policies and legislation in Canada. This enables an exploration of the current state of health informatics, as well as highlighting future directions in Canada... the scope of information contained in this book, and the way in which it is presented to move students away from a dependence on didactic learning styles are universally relevant. Indeed, the challenges of the digitization of health and every other aspect of modern life are global.” (Read the full Book Review here)
