| Abstract
|
:
|
Informed and Healthy: Theoretical and Applied Perspectives on the Value of Information to Health Care focuses on two major issues: the value attributed to information by users and its effect on health care, and secondly, a new model of information behavior in which the value of information drives various information activities unlike many information models which tend to give prominence to information needs. The book uses rich qualitative data to highlight the health information system in Uganda, and expands the analysis by comparing it to other systems utilized by different countries at diverse levels of development. Topics such as access and use of information, value attribution and effect on health outcomes, and modelling information behavior and its implications on health informatics are discussed in detail. This book is a valuable resource for health professionals, planners and policy makers, as well as information professionals, academics and researchers interested in health information and its applicability in different environments.--
