Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
Health and social care are being transformed by digital technologies. Yet, for many professionals, the rapid pace of change can feel overwhelming, confusing, or even exclusionary. Digital Health and Social Care: Byte-sized Wisdom provides a clear and engaging guide to help clinicians, leaders, and practitioners answer the key questions: what digital innovations are available today; how should we navigate their introduction into practice; and why do they matter for the future of health and social care?
Structured around the everyday realities of care work, this book explores a wide range of topics, from population health management and pathway redesign to medicines management, electronic patient records, and professional decision support. It highlights the blurred boundaries between clinical digital practice and IT expertise, offering frameworks to help professionals recognise where their responsibilities lie and where specialist support is required.
As the chapters progress, readers are guided beyond the technologies themselves-towards leadership, governance, and ethical considerations that underpin successful digital transformation. Adopting digital systems is not simply about technical proficiency, but about cultivating new ways of leading change, collaborating across professional boundaries, and safeguarding patient trust in how we use and protect their data.
Looking ahead, the book also considers emerging innovations-artificial intelligence, robotics, nanotechnologies, and immersive environments-that are set to redefine care in ways that once belonged to science fiction. By situating these developments in a practical, professional context, Tack offers a balanced view: one that is both aspirational and grounded in the daily work of clinicians and care staff.
