Use and Role of Health Care Information Systems

Over the past several decades, health care and information technology
have undergone a period of dramatic change caused by a multitude of
pressures and opportunities, many of which continue to persist and
evolve. More recently, we have started to leverage the power of health
care information technology to improve patient outcomes and to better
engage patients in taking ownership of the health care processes. In
addition, we have started to see a shift in health care reimbursement
tied more toward patient outcomes than that of services actually
rendered.
