Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Karen O'Grady, MLIS, MAEd (University of San Diego)
Description: This fifth edition covers the intersection of nursing with healthcare technology: nursing informatics (NI). The book discusses nursing as well as computers, computing, and technology. A well-done history of both topics is intertwined with information and lessons around ethics, legislation, the complex healthcare industry, education, research, and the future, among other topics. The accompanying online features are excellent. There is a choice between student or instructor, interactive worksheets, slides for presentations, and links that open into references.
Purpose: According to the preface, "The purpose of this text is to provide a set of practical and powerful tools to ensure that the reader gains an understanding of NI and moves from information to knowledge to wisdom." My take is that the book provides an extremely solid presentation of the history, basis, components, challenges, details, and possibilities of nursing informatics, which is an extremely worthy objective that is needed in the literature. The online version adds pedagogical value. I am not sure that any textbook can provide wisdom, but the book unquestionably meets its objective of presenting information and creating knowledge.
Audience: The book is written for nursing informatics students, or anyone interested in learning all about nursing informatics. Anyone working in healthcare technology or nursing would benefit from reading this book as it is very thorough. I recognize both authors' names from reviewing other informatics books they have written. They are credible.
Features: The best aspect of this book is its extremely thoughtful arrangement. The book beautifully presents a difficult blending of intersecting topics. The glossary is extensive and the index is quite thorough. Most every chapter has a huge amount of vocabulary at the beginning. The "thought-provoking questions," case studies, research briefs, and other features throughout the textbook make it pleasant to digest and understand. The book is also very well edited and I did not find one error on its pages.
Assessment: This stacks up quite nicely against the several other nursing informatics books I have reviewed. The book is well written and well edited, unlike most nursing informatics books. As stated previously, the book's strength is its presentation of material. Every aspect of nursing and computers and health care and technology is presented. Their intersection with newer technology, such as data, wearable devices, translational research, and telehealth are mixed without redundancy with important topics such as community health and human-computer interaction and hospital workflows. This updated version is very justified because the field continues to explode. A comparable book that I love is Emerging Technologies for Nurses: Implications for Practice, Carroll (Springer Publishing Company, 2020). Both books are excellent, but this nursing informatics book makes a more complete textbook.
