Now is a critical time in pediatric informatics. As information
technologies—electronic health records (EHRs), personal health
records (PHRs), computerized physician order entry (CPOE)—and
standards (HL7) are developed to improve the quality of health
care, it is imperative for policy makers and pediatricians to be
aware of their impact on pediatric care and child health.
Informed child advocates must be at the planning table as
national and regional health information networks are developed
to insure the unique health care needs of children are being met.

Pediatric Informatics: Computer Applications in Child Health is a
current digest of the important trends in pediatric informatics,
written by leading experts in the field. This book explores how
the management of biomedical data, information, and knowledge can
optimize and advance child health. The contributors investigate
the specific importance of pediatric informatics is derived from
the biological, psychological, social and cultural needs that the
distinguish children from other populations. These distinctions
create complexities in the management of pediatric data and
information that make children a vulnerable population and
require the development of a new body of knowledge in pediatric
informatics.
