This book is based on the premise that knowledge of Information Technology (IT) is essential today for people in every walk of life and all types of profession. It is designed to impart a unified body of knowledge and practice in IT to its readers. Readers can apply this knowledge in innovative ways for various strategic advantages such as increasing productivity, improving quality of products and services, problem solving, decision making, and improving their own and others living standards. The textbook takes a practical approach to introduce the various components of IT to its readers. While doing so, it demonstrates how IT is being used in modern enterprises by various departments to carry out their activities with greater ease, speed, and accuracy than before. It also introduces several new business models and practices made possible due to IT that enterprises are now using for better profitability. In the process, the book provides to its readers a sound foundation of various components and aspects of IT. It also introduces to its readers several latest concepts and technologies in IT such as Wearable computers, Green computing, Cloud computing, Speech recognition and voice response systems, 4G and 5G networks, Big data analytics, Data science, Web 3.0, IPv6, 3D printing, Enterprise 2.0 organization, etc.
The highly praised book in communications networking from IEEE Press, now available in the Eastern Economy Edition.This is a non-mathematical introduction to Distributed Operating Systems explaining the fundamental concepts and design principles of this emerging technology. As a textbook for students and as a self-study text for systems managers and software engineers, this book provides a concise and an informal introduction to the subject.
Discover How Electronic Health Records Are Built to Drive the Next Generation of Healthcare Delivery The increased role of IT in the healthcare sector has led to the coining of a new phrase "health informatics," which deals with the use of IT for better healthcare services. Health informatics applications often involve maintaining the health records of individuals, in digital form, which is referred to as an Electronic Health Record (EHR). Building and implementing an EHR infrastructure requires an understanding of healthcare standards, coding systems, and frameworks. This book provides an overview of different health informatics resources and artifacts that underlie the design and development of interoperable healthcare systems and applications. Electronic Health Record: Standards, Coding Systems, Frameworks, and Infrastructures compiles, for the first time, study and analysis results that EHR professionals previously had to gather from multiple sources. It benefits readers by giving them an understanding of what roles a particular healthcare standard, code, or framework plays in EHR design and overall IT-enabled healthcare services along with the issues involved. This book on Electronic Health Record: Offers the most comprehensive coverage of available EHR Standards including ISO, European Union Standards, and national initiatives by Sweden, the Netherlands, Canada, Australia, and many others Provides assessment of existing standards Includes a glossary of frequently used terms in the area of EHR Contains numerous diagrams and illustrations to facilitate comprehension Discusses security and reliability of data
