Abstract: "Transforming Health Care Through Information, Second Edition, builds upon case studies from actual healthcare institutions through all phases of the information system induction process. With the growth of information and focus on healthcare informatics, there remains little, if any, usage of case studies. This comprehensive second edition builds upon the specific examples of case studies to exemplify the various phases of introducing technological advancements into healthcare institutions."
