Principles of Biomedical Informatics
Free download Principles of Biomedical Informatics for everyone book mediafire, rapishare, and mirror link This book provides a foundation for understanding the fundamentals of biomedical informatics, which deals with the storage, retrieval, and use of biomedical data for biological problem solving and medical decision making. It covers the application of these principles to the three main biomedical domains of basic biology, clinical medicine, and public health. The author offers a coherent summary, focusing on the three core concept areas of biomedical data and knowledge representation: biomedical information access, biomedical decision making, and information and technology use in biomedical contexts.
* Develops principles and methods for representing biomedical data, using information in context and in decision making, and accessing information to assist the medical community in using data to its full potential
* Provides a series of principles for expressing biomedical data and ideas in a computable form to integrate biological, clinical, and public health applications
* Includes a discussion of user interfaces, interactive graphics, and knowledge resources and reference material on programming languages to provide medical informatics programmers with the technical tools to develop systems Download latest books on mediafire and other links compilation Principles of Biomedical Informatics [Kindle Edition]

This is an *excellent* book. I read it enthusiastically and I'm glad that it was available for me to do so. I think it fills a unique niche in the informatics book market in two ways:
- it is a book with significant attention to clinical informatics that has a strong computer science angle.
- it is an informatics "monograph"
While informatics is often described as the intersection between something like computer science, life science/medicine and library science books rarely position themselves squarely at this intersection. I have found that it is easier to find bioinformatics books that have a strong computer science angle than it is to find clinical informatics books with a strong CS/implementation angle. This book is the exception to that rule. It has an unabashedly serious approach to the computing inherent in clinical informatics (one should take author's choice of Lisp as telling) and a clinical focus. The treatment of library science topics, while less rigorous, is present and credible.
Unlike the standard textbooks in the area (ex: Shortliffe) it is not an edited volume; rather, it hangs together page after page as a single work by a single author. Because it has the hand of an individual it a much more pleasant book to read from cover-to-cover.
The physical book is very appealing. The pager is glossy and thick, the binding is substantial, the dimensions are pleasant, the figures are clear, and the typesetting (as with all LaTeX books) beautiful. Unfortunately unlike most LaTeX books it is hard to read. While the pages look wonderful I found that function was sacrificed in the process.
