Nursing and Informatics for the 21st Century, [Ed. Robyn Carr] has won the 2006 HIMSS Book of the Year Award! It's very fitting that such a significant and relevant book should win the award. The HIMSS Board of Directors voted unanimously to approve the nomination Friday December 8 2006. Written and edited by recognized experts and innovators who make IT projects happen across the globe, this book captures the revolutionary impact of IT on nursing worldwide. Review made by Caterina Lasome MSN/MBA MHA RN in Caring Vol 21 No 3 3rd Quarter 2006 "This is a very good book and one that all students and practitioners of nursing informatics should make a part of their libraries. It is well written by leading experts in the field and includes a number of case studies that provide further discussion and international perspectives to universal problems about particular topics. These case studies help to position this book at the intermediate to advanced level of informatics practice - yet another reason to have this book in one's library. The table of contents and index present common terms used in informatics thereby facilitating quick location of particular areas of interest. On rare occasion, some figures include text that is difficult to read, but this is a minor inconvenience given the value of the content. For those who are new to or are early in their careers in nursing informatics practice and are wondering how to forge a career doing this work, this book will expose you to the range of subspecialty areas within nursing informatics. It provides directions for future practice, and an introduction to the key leaders who are forging the paths in each area. There is nothing short of a lifetime of opportunities presented in this book that define nursing informatics practice." For more information, please visit the HIMSS Store.
