Health Care Researchers’ Needs for Computer-based Patient Records

  • Chapter
Aspects of the Computer-based Patient Record

Part of the book series: Computers in Health Care ((HI))

Abstract

The term health care researcher refers to a diverse set of professionals, academicians, and policymakers who study topics related to the organization, process, quality, and outcomes of health services delivery. This chapter concentrates on the uses and requirements of those who focus on medical care services, including mental health services but excluding dental care. Among the disciplines who work in health care research are clinicians (physicians, nurses, psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, and clinical social workers), economists, research psychologists, sociologists, political scientists, and epidemiologists, in addition to those trained specifically in public health and health services research.
