Clinical
Information Management and Technology (CIM&T) in Healthcare (Health Informatics) Why PDFs - Responding to many requests I have updated
several documents and converted some of the web based tutorials (i.e. sets
of web pages) to pdf documents -It appears that students still find it easier
to
read and digest complex information away from the computer screen! The new
documents contain suggestions for web based activities such as electronic
discussion group
topics. I hope that you like the enhancements - Robin
