is a heavily updated and revised volume based on editors Friedman and Wyatt's successful first edition.  This book incorporates the solid foundation of evaluation theories, methods, and techniques laid out in the first edition, and builds on it to include case studies from real world situations.  Designed as a guide for both the informatics novice and the seasoned professional seeking a comprehensive resource, this book explores information systems evaluation from the ground up.  Critique and disscussion of actual evaluation efforts will guide the reader through real world application of the techniques described.

Just like its first edition, this volume is an unparalled reference for a broad range of health information professionals.  From those in training for careers in informatics to on-site medical information systems staff, is an invaluable guide to successful evaluation of information technology in health care.
