The first edition of this timely book has addressed gaps in the understanding of how health information technology (IT) impacts clinical workflows and how the effective implementation of these workflows are central to the safe and effective delivery of care to patients. It features clearly structured chapters covering a range of topics, including aspects of clinical workflows relevant to both practitioners and patients, tools for recording clinical workflow data techniques for potentially redesigning health IT enabled care coordination. The book enables readers to develop a deeper understanding of clinical workflows and how these can potentially be modified to facilitate greater efficiency and safety in care provision, providing a valuable resource for both biomedical and health informatics professionals and trainees. The developing second edition continues and extends the focus of the first volume (which appeared in 2015) to highlight key areas where cognitive aspects of clinical workflow play a critical role.
