TAILIEUCHUNG - Information technology in health care

Technology, engineering and medicine have inter- vened in the way we manage water and wetlands to successfully improve aspects of and foster human health. Over the same period, increasing human populations and increasing rates of consumption by humans, alterations to land use and land cover and the practices of irrigation, all associated with agri- culture, urban expansion, and global environmental change, have collectively and substantially adversely modified wetland systems, in terms of both water quality and water quantity. Reconceiving this relationship will be central for wetland management: developing strategies that support the maintenance of both wetland ecological character and human health concurrently through the implementation of the Ramsar. | CHAPTER 7 Information technology in health care CHAPTER Information technology in health care Information technology IT has the potential to improve the quality safety and efficiency of health care. Diffusion of IT in health care is generally low varying however with the application and setting but surveys indicate that providers plan to increase their investments. Drivers of investment in IT include the promise of quality and efficiency gains. Barriers include the cost and complexity of IT implementation which often necessitates significant work process and cultural changes. Certain characteristics of the health In this chapter What is health information technology Quality and health information technology Current status of health information technology Efforts to encourage faster diffusion care market including payment policies that reward volume rather than quality and a fragmented delivery system can also pose barriers to IT adoption. Given IT s potential both the private and public sectors have engaged in numerous efforts to promote its use within and across health care settings. Additional steps could include financial incentives . payment policy or loans and expanded efforts to standardize records formats nomenclature and communication protocols to enhance interoperability. However any policy to stimulate further investment must be carefully considered because of the possibility of unintended consequences.
