We have just started a new program on health care informatics at Aalborg University, and we are planning to use your book in this program. " -Christian Nohr, Department of Development and Planning, Research Group Technology and Society, Aalborg University Health care organizations have become increasingly reliant on information systems. They have also become more aware of the potential pitfalls when integrating a computer system into a complex organizational structure. From cost factors to personnel problems, evaluating the impact of information systems requires an understanding of behavioral processes as well as computer technology.

Chapters provide a practical overview of established research guidelines for sampling, data collection procedures and instruments, and analytic techniques. Utilizing a pluralistic approach, this practical volume also includes organizational evaluation methods such as direct observations, archival data use, interviewing strategies, survey research, experimental research methods, simulation, social network, and cost-benefit analysis. Well-known contributors from sociology, anthropology, psychology, communication, and the administrative and health sciences provide both a conceptual and methodological framework. This timely volume is an essential tool for students and scholars who recognize the increasing importance of studying and evaluating the use and impact of information systems. It is also an invaluable guide for professionals such as computer system developers, administrators, and health care policy analysts.

Review Religious Faith, Spirituality, and Health Communication: A Special Issue of Health Communication / Lawrence Erlbaum:A primary premise of this special issue is that religious faith and spirituality comprise an integral component of lay discourse and lay theories associated with health. The articles included in this collection begin to fill a void and-at the same time-illustrate a role health communication fulfills within the behavioral sciences, emphasizing how everyday people make sense of health conditions in their daily living. Following the introduction, the next paper provides an integrated synthesis of the ways and means that religious faith and spirituality have been assessed, primarily through use of quantitative measures. The next two articles utilize instruments discussed in the previous review. The remaining papers utilize qualitative methods to begin to address the absence of specific understanding regarding religious faith and health communication, answering the challenge to health communicators to enrich the field through greater use of such methodological approaches to inquiry.
