Ideal for healthcare workers, students and biomedical researchers who wish to use informatics technologies in their own clinics and laboratories, Biomedical Informatics describes the fundamental issues and questions in the field, and reviews the different types of biomedical data resources and open source tools needed to fully utilize biomedical data. You are shown how to navigate through the legal, ethical, and technical hazards of biomedical informatics to become self-sufficient and productive. You will finish with an understanding of how to acquire, organize, annotate, and share biomedical data, how to render confidential data harmless through de-identification, and how to use a variety of free and open source utilities to solve common computational tasks. Berman also discusses how the Perl Language is used in biomedical informatics and provides short Perl scripts that can be applied in the biological research and healthcare settings.

This book is a must-read for biomedical professionals, on-the-job or in-training, with a serious interest in data management. The author, Dr.
Jules J. Berman, studied mathematics at M.I.T., earned a Ph.D. in pathology and an M.D., practiced general pathology for over a decade, and served as Program Director for the Pathology Informatics program at the U. S. National Cancer Institute. He has published over one hundred first-author papers in peer-reviewed journals in this field. He brings together this varied background, plus a breezy, no-nonsense writing style, in a comprehensive but enjoyable book about biomedical informatics.
You can digest the highlights of the book in three hours. First, carefully study the Table of Contents. Then, scan through the tables with bullet headers, which summarize all the basic ideas of the book. Finally, read the annotated bibliography and glossary at the end of the book. The author cites many of the major works in the field, and has insightful opinions about the scope and value of these works.
The book embraces all modern biomedical informatics. There are chapters devoted to the definition of biomedical databases; the availability of biomedical databases; privacy and confidentiality; database standard formats; programming; biomedical nomenclatures; automated translation and de-identification methods; cryptography; clinical trials; and how to apply for a grant. Each chapter begins with the existing history and background of the chapter's subject matter, followed by a complete description of the area, and copious examples. The author includes numerous references to publicly available sources of biomedical data and software, as well as instructions on how to download and run these resources.
