Healthcare Information Technology Exam Guide for CompTIA Healthcare IT Technician and HIT Pro Certifications

On the mark. Today's IT professionals face a learning curve when it comes to healthcare and the unique industry demands for an HIT career. This book is both complete and well written for a wide variety of audiences from existing IT professionals to healthcare professionals who want to add IT capabilities and credentials.

i bought this book to prepare for the Comptia exam. I haven't taken the exam yet and i dont have any background in HIT projects. The book is very easy to read and has lots of information. I starts with an introduction to the healthcare ecosystem in the US and explains then goes into HIT. It would recommend this book not only for the Comptia exam but if you are also looking to understand the healthcare industry. It does cover topics for the comptia exam but then again i haven't taken it so i cant attest how this book can be used as a study guide. I did learn a lot though about and it was a easy read.

It is a compendium of various topics from various authors which cover almost all of the very need to know areas of Healthcare IT. It is a good reference book to go back and brush up on a particular subject. There are also references to many other publications and information sources.

No doubt this book is jam-packed with oodles of information. But who likes information that is hard to comprehend? I did the job but I sure wished it was written less poorly. The author has a way of having sentences that are way too long - leading into a paragraph. And this happens often. If you are okay with re-reading constantly to grasp the information, then go for it! Otherwise, I believe this book has great content.

Informative book. Way more information than you need for the CompTIA Healthcare IT Technician Certification. The HIT Pro certification series the book discusses is no longer supported. HIT Pro was superseded in 2013. The book does teach you a lot, however beware of the legal sections. With the major changes in regulations under ARRA, HITECH and etc, some of the legal items are out of date. I still recommend this book if you want to learn. Not a good book if you are relying on it for the HIT-001 certification. The CompTIA Healthcare IT Technician certification exam was not difficult and does not require near the knowledge this book teaches. If you take this exam, make sure to catch up on your A+ skills.

Well formated resource for preparing for the health IT certifications. Plan to use it to help me prepare for the exams. While the book appears large it is full of valuable practical exams to prepare.

Covers legislation to topology! A great book, well organized. Useful for NI, CPHIMS and other certification exam. I give it to those that are new to HealthCare IT... just a great book!

This book has a lot of great information about hospital and healthcare operations. I would have liked to learn more about the IT side of healthcare from the book though. Around 3/4 of the book is filled with hospital hierarchy, regulations, and operations. I would recommend if you would like a full hospital overview, but this book isn't for you if you are fully focused on IT.
