Preface
Web-based applications provide the power of desktop and server applications with
the flexibility and accessibility of the web. Using web browsers, users can securely
access applications from anywhere within the reach of the company intranet or
extranet. The special issue strives to explore the advanced web-based information
systems and database applications in healthcare area.
Healthcare organizations are undergoing major reorganizations and adjustments
to meet the increasing demands of improved healthcare access and quality, as well
as lowered costs. As the use of information technology to process medical data
increases, much of the critical information necessary to meet these challenges is
being stored in digital format. Web-enabled information technologies can provide
the means for greater access and more effective integration of healthcare information
from disparate computer applications and other information resources.
This book presents studies from leading researchers and practitioners focusing on
the current challenges, directions, trends, and opportunities associated with health-
care organizations and their strategic use of web-enabled technologies. Managing
healthcare information systems with web-enabled technologies is an excellent vehi-
cle for understanding current and potential uses of Internet technology in the broad
areas of healthcare and medical applications.
The covered topics include semantic web applications, workflow management
systems, process management and workflow management systems, content man-
agement and portal technology, location-aware systems and mobile technology,
prototypes of web-based information systems, data and web mining, access control
and security in web-based information systems, web-based information systems and
databases, transaction management over the web and tools for the implementation
of web-based information systems.
This handbook is an excellent source of comprehensive knowledge and literature
on the topic of distributed health and e-health applications.
All of us who worked on the book hope that readers will find it useful.
Athina A. Lazakidou, Ph.D.
