Updates to the Website for Informatics and Nursing Textbook

The website we use to support our Informatics and Nursing textbook, http://dlthede.net/Informatics/Informatics.html,  has several updates that are noted below.

Chapter 2 http://dlthede.net/Informatics/Chap02Software/chap2.html

about rights in cloud computing.  Good news - Dropbox is now safe.


Chapter 9 http://dlthede.net/Informatics/Chap09Databases/chap9.html
US Census and Population. From the US government. Scroll down to the bottom of the page for Data Ferret. We have NOT used this tool, but it could be used to create data from existing census data to download for use in many different packages including Excel and statistical packages.

Chapter 10 -http://dlthede.net/Informatics/Chap10Internet_EBP/chap10.html
Discovered that one of the journals in the list is from a publisher on Beall's list of predatory open access publishers.  I investigated the publication and did not find the problem that was mentioned in the list, but I added the information that it was on that list to the description of the Internet Journal of Advanced Nursing Practice.  


Chapter 18 http://dlthede.net/Informatics/Chap18BasicEHR/chap18.html
Meaningful Use: The Whiteboard Story. Chart that contains both stage 1 and stage 2 criteria in a way that they could be printed on a large poster, or translated to an Excel spreadsheet for use in tracking progress. This is in PDF format.

EHR Certification
From ANIA implementation specifications and certification criteria for electronic health record technology, 2014 edition. If you choose to open the bookmarked version be sure to uncheck McAfee security check unless this is your virus checker or you want to buy it. We have not used this checker and it may (or may not) be safe, but my "red flag" went up - mixing virus checkers is often the road to problems.

Chapter 24 http://dlthede.net/Informatics/Chap24Research/chap24.html
