Currently, I work for a well known IT company and have been tasked with ensuring intraoperability within our product set. I had some experience of HL7 and SnoMed CT, however, I needed a refresh and deeper level of understanding to move the project forward; this book fulfilled that requirement.
I'm fully in support of HL7 & SnoMed CT and consider the use of information standards essential in order to move informatics forward in the health provider sector. My challenge comes in delivering a standard to a market which is a Kingdom of Kingdoms and every customer wants 'customisation' to fit local need. Perhaps another title for you write Mr Benson: How to make Information Standards palatable.

I bought this book to help with my understanding of Medical Informatics, EPR and SNOMED. This is an excellent book, easy to read, good coverage by an author who has been involved with the subject for a considerable time and sat on standards committees.
Thoroughly recommended.
If there is one fault it is the typos, however this is common in modern publishing, proof reading seems to be a dying art!

A good introduction to a very tough subject
6 April 2010
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a revised review. I reviewed this book shortly after it came out and give it four stars. That was, however, a bit of a grumpy review. Since then I've made this book the mainstay of the health informatics lectures I do for the U of Minnesota. I would now give it four stars without reservation. In this domain there's no rival to this text.
Overall it is a book aimed at an informatics student, written in a telegraphic style that is a good fit for a rather dry but terribly important topic. Only a portion of the book is about HL7 and SNOMED however. Of the 225 pages I found
- 74 on modeling and markup topics better addressed in other books
- 12 pages on SDOs
- 81 pages on HL7 and CDA/CCR/CCD
- 26 on SNOMED
- 8 pages on using HL7 and SNOMED together
Although I would prefer much less coverage of modeling and markup and more on HL7/SNOMED integration, there's still more than enough material to occupy a typical first class in health informatics. This is a better book for my purposes that the informatics textbooks I've used to date.
I hope there will be a 2nd edition. I know I'd buy it!

Required Reading For Anyone Involved in Health IT
14 Sep 2010
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Health Interoperability is a very timely topic in the USA in large part because of the HITECH act and the huge amount of tax dollars that are going for Electronic Health Records and Information exchanges. Interoperability is impossible without sophisticated standards for both a grammar and vocabulary for health care that can be semantically interpreted by machines. HL7 V3 RIM is the grammar, and SNOMED-CT is the vocabulary that are needed accomplish the goal of semantic interoperability.
Before this book, a newcomer would have to read thousands of pages of white papers from HL7, IHE, and IHTSDO (International Standards Development Organizations), and attend meetings for years before seeing how these non trivial standards work together.
I'm involved in projects at Kaiser Permanente that rely on SNOMED-CT and HL7. Most of our project managers, or even physician leaders in the organization are not experts in UML, XML, HL7, CDA, or SNOMED. They do not have the opportunity to spend hours reading separate books, attending tutorials or otherwise obtaining the knowledge in this book in an efficient way.
Of course if you really want to know UML, or XML or any of these subjects in great depth, there are "better books" available. But this is the only book that put's it all together. I find it an advantage that it is under 300 pages. An interested person can read this book in just a few days, and will then know what otherwise would have been an epic effort to learn. I have given separate talks on many of these subjects, but in any single talk you could not hope to cover all of the material in this book.
I have just ordered copies of this book to distribute to my project managers and developers.

Basis for interoperability of healthcare records
27 May 2010
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is an excellent book that provides some interesting historical details and the reasons that make interoperability important. There are some interesting and perhaps tongue in cheek comments on ways that health care has not taken up some technology that was developed 500 years ago. Terminology and information exchange are parts of the foundation that needs to be in place before there can be meaningful use of computerized patient records. This book provides a nice introduction to these topics.
