Trauma Informatics

The three phases of trauma care (pre-hospital; hospital; and post- acute/rehabilitation) are based upon a philisophy of a continuum of care, which in turn necessitates a continuum of information. Trauma Informatics will be the first book to cover the subject of information systems in the treatment of trauma patients through the three phases of trauma. As the book covers Trauma from incident through return to work, any of the providers, managers, and support staff who are involved in using, collecting or managing information will benefit from this comprehensive approach to trauma informatics.

First book to closely examine the role of IT in treating trauma patients Covers a broad spectrum of possible scenarios Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
