Health Information Technology for Health Care Providers

With the passage of the HITECH Act, the impending move to ICD-10, new Meaningful Use definitions, and more, CIOs have been called upon to lead hospitals into a new era of health care IT. To improve health care quality, enhance operating efficiency, and provide consumers with the information and tools they need to make decisions, providers are developing better ‘connectivity’ strategies and information support, both internally and through strategic relationships. Investments in health information technology (HIT) can help providers integrate clinical and financial systems, implement EHRs, participate in Health Information Exchanges (HIEs) and enhance Web sites and portal strategies.
