Health Informatics: Practical Guide Seventh Edition is a 2018 textbook by William R. Hersh and Robert E. Hoyt that surveys how information technology is applied to healthcare, public health, education, and biomedical research. Published by Lulu Press, the 488 page seventh edition is designed primarily for health professionals, information technology practitioners, and students entering a field where clinical work and digital systems are increasingly intertwined. Rather than treating informatics as merely software procurement or data storage, the book frames it as the disciplined use of information to improve decisions, services, and outcomes. Its 22 chapters combine instructional features such as learning objectives, case studies, recommended readings, future trends, key points, and conclusions, supported by an extensive reference base. The practical-guide format is important: readers are introduced not only to major technologies but also to the organizational, professional, and evaluative questions that determine whether those technologies produce value. As a seventh edition, it also reflects a mature field whose core concerns include electronic records, data quality, interoperability, evidence, and responsible implementation.
