Principles of Health Interoperability HL7 and SNOMED (Health Information Technology Standards) 2nd ed. 2012 Edition

This book offers a huge depth of information that I was not expecting. Very well written and clear in the explanations, it is obvious how knowledgeable that Mr. Benson is in the topics covered. The only "complaints" at all that I have regarding this book are these: 1) The paperback cover is not very durable and does not hold up well for such a heavily used reference (I preferred the prior version's hardback cover) 2) Many more pages should be dedicated to this book, to give the proper expanded coverage the topics deserve.With that being said, I cannot possibly give less than 5 stars for this excellent, "must have" companion!

I needed this book to continue my education. It is very well written, detailed and gives you quick reference material

Very well documented book, I use it to prepare some classes

Book provides enough details to understand overall picture and gives pointers for details. Diagrams are very clear and useful .

Excellent

Not exhaustive but what can you do

Used this for a graduate level college course. Txt was informative without being overly technical. Ideas and concepts are explained well easy to follow

Il libro è arrivato integro e puntuale.Per quanto riguarda il contenuto non l'ho ancora letto tutto ma in ogni caso mi sembra un buon punto di partenza per comprendere i principi ed il dominio di applciazione di HL7 e SNOMED. Il libro tratta in capitoli separati i principali concetti di hl7 v2, hl7 v3 + RIM, CDA, snomed ct. C'è anche un capitolo introduttivo ad UML e XML. Il libro è solo in inglese ma è di facile comprensione. Considerato che c'è ancora poca letteratura di dominio pubblico sull'argomento lo consiglio.

Very informative and well organised. The first chapters introduce the details of the HL7 and SNOMED. Next edition need more info about the experience of the different countries.
