Customer Reviews: Electronic Patient CareFebruary 22, 2010 Carmen Matthews(San Diego, California) At first, and up to four days ago, I thought this book was dull, and poorly written.
But, while reviewing details and actually typing out answers to questions and terms at the end of the chapters, I became more interested in what these authors have to share.
As someone who reviews many books, I approached this book with mixed thoughts. The topic is great. The chapters cover a great deal about healthcare technology. But the writing is not so good. For example, the objectives at the beginning of each chapter start with things like, "To be able to ... " rather than just the action verbs.
There is also a great deal of redundancy in this book.
Yet, I will admit, the authors express some humor in a few of the sixteen chapters.

This is a great book! I am excited about my class. My professor is actually co-author of the book. It is easy to read and follow.

I think that it is awesome for me to be taking a class with the professor who actually wrote the text and I am excited about that. Just feel that it took way too long for the textbook to get to me. Seems like almost three weeks went by before I recieved it. I tryed to order it in a timely manner to ensure that I received it before the course started, but I still did not get it until two weeks after the semester had began. I emailed the seller to find out what was the hold-up, but never recieved a response.
