The fundamentals of law for health informatics and information management can be easily understood when you read this classic. There is a great deal of jargon that might make beginning law students feel intimidated, but as they progress through the curriculum, they will find that it really isn't all that intimidating at all. As with any book, there are issues and points that will need to be discussed that are not covered in the text, but are nevertheless important to law students. One of those is how to find a good mentor, which is emphasized more in this book than in some of the others on the market. It is easy to look online and find hundreds of law for health students, but finding a mentor to follow in one's educational journey is an even larger challenge. Luckily, Robert Kaplan has helped create an outstanding website where law for health students can search for a good faculty adviser and then follow that adviser throughout their educational career.

Fundamentals of law for health informatics and information management is designed to help law students understand what goes on in health law. It is certainly not a book for the person who is only interested in a brief overview of the subject, or even a quick reference guide for law students. For that sort of individual, it might be advisable to check out just one of the books from the series that are available, as the content in each one tends to be very different. If one is interested in learning about health law as it relates to practice in clinical trials, for example, then Kaplan's text will provide much needed information. If on the other hand, Kaplan is looking for a solid introduction to health law for professionals who are looking to see more in depth, then they should consider the Fundamentals of Law for Health informatics, which is more of a summary of what has already been written about than a study in the particular area.
The key areas that are covered in this text include civil litigation such as litigation brought against healthcare providers, as well as medical and pharmaceutical litigation brought against those employers who supplied drugs and treatment meant to cure diseases. The text also covers ethical issues related to medical services and drug development. One might call it a textbook on health law for health informatics, considering that it does address some of the areas that would be of most interest to law students. It is therefore an excellent resource for students who need a solid grounding in health law for health informatics.
