CUSTOMER REVIEWS (Average Customer Rating: 3.0 based on 1 review)

A LOT of information for undergraduates!

HUGE textbook and A LOT of very technical information - much of it hard to digest for an introductory health information course. (This is my dilemma now - I am in an introductory course but the book is designed to model the four-year/baccalaurreate AHIMA curriculum) which means that it is really not the best textbook for an introductory course because it is too comprehensive. I guess that can be a plus, getting four years' worth of info crammed into one semester, and you could look at it as a bargain in that respect (if you don't go crazy from information overload.)And need I say it is a sure cure for insomnia--very technical and dry content.
