Recommended Reading for The Clinical Informaticist
Here at InformaticsPro, we define clinical informatics as:
The combination of clinical knowledge with technical prowess to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our healthcare system
In other words, clinical informaticists are the nerds, gadget geeks, and process improvement junkies that like medicine. We embrace it because we understand the power and potential effect that can be wielded by smoothly implemented and operating clinical information systems and the data that they are able to produce.
And as you may know, nerds like to read. Here are some books that we would recommend to newbies and experienced professionals alike.
