EDI: A Guide to Electronic Data Interchange and Electronic Commerce Applications in the Healthcare Industry

Rating:
Summary: seriously lacking in content
Review: First of all, this book is overpriced. 45 dollars for 155 pages of actual book text (minus the index, etc) is ridiculous. Yes, I saw that it was a small book in the description, but I hoped that the content would be dense and useful...it was not.

This book was copyrighted in 2001, yet there isn't even a mention of HIPAA or ASCA. This book is best described as an advertisment for the use of EDI. It rambles on & on about how great EDI is (yes, we know that) but never gets into any meat about standards, communications, formats, etc.

Save your 45 bucks...it would be better spent on beer...
