Why Health IT?
Information is the lifeblood of healthcare. Information technology can help to make health care systems more efficient by automating the manual processes, replacing paper records with electronic data. With large-scale adoption of Health IT, health care systems can be more efficient and they can deliver more effective patient care. The HITECH Act, 2009 tries to modernize US health care and aims to take health care delivery in US to the 21st century. This calls for draconian changes in health care systems and health care delivery and the way physicians, nurses and health care professionals view and use information technology.
