Reader Reviews
This review is from: Electronic Medical Records: A Guide for Clinicians and Administrators (Communications and It) (Paperback) I just attended the American Medical Informatics Assn. (AMIA)meeting and heard an outstanding presentation by Dr. Carter. Other panel speakers highly recommended his book. If the book is nearly as good as the talk, this will be money well spent.
