Technology: Benefits Realized for Selected Health Care Functions
The rapidly rising costs of health
care, along with an increasing concern for the quality of care and
the safety of patients, are driving health care organizations to
use information technology (IT) to automate clinical care
operations and their associated administrative functions. Among
its other functions, IT is now being used for electronic medical
records, order management and results reporting, patient care
management, and Internet access for patient and provider
communications. It also provides automated billing and financial
management.
