Book Description

ISBN-10: 1567932118 | ISBN-13: 978-1567932119 | Publication Date: October 2003 | Edition: 1

The purpose of this book is to provide a panoramic view of information technology innovation in healthcare, and more audaciously, a vision of how the U.S. health system will look and feel when healthcare practitioners have learned to use these powerful new tools. It will also discuss what health professionals, healthcare executives, Trustees and investors can do to make this transformation happen. Monumental change in the way healthcare is delivered is fast approaching, and the development of information technology will inarguably play a major role in that change. As information technology becomes more sophisticated, it will reshape how hospitals, physicians, consumers, and payors will interact with one another, sharpening the focus of the entire healthcare delivery system while providing higher quality care. The imminent technological advances will affect every aspect of healthcare, from diagnosis and payments to communication with physicians and quality of care, and this new book will help you embrace those changes.
