Reviews & Statements

This book is a valuable resource for both the established nurse informatician and the new recruit that we need to attract to the discipline, with lessons for both in the need for appropriate application of socio-technical approaches to using technology to support the health of people world wide. Hopefully, as a result, we can avoid further repetition of the mistakes of the past, and of the present era.
