"Ms. Busch has created a thought provoking reference tool, equally useful for those contemplating adoption of health information
technology (HIT) or for those who have already done so. She identifies foundational but frequently overlooked areas such as audit
trails, security, and health care business requirements—all essential for successful implementation. Ms. Busch clearly
articulates the need for health information technology to address both business and clinical requirements to attain the widely
publicized benefits of this technology."

"As anyone who’s tried to challenge a medical bill or insurance payment can attest, healthcare records are complicated and
confusing. The healthcare industry was on the forefront of the ‘paperless revolution,’ but since there are so many different
software programs in use, the challenges for fraud examiners and auditors are enormous. I am pleased that Ms. Busch has chosen to
share her experience and expertise in analyzing these records. This book is essential for anyone dealing with healthcare records."
