| HIT Bring Changes in the Healthcare Industry |
In
the 20th century, the practice of medicine from the clinical
perspective has changed dramatically. The clinicians have embraced the
technology that helps to provide a number of benefits in testing and treatment
of patients.
The
electronic health record system has initiated some concern with medical
practice. Apparently, there are numerous factors involved which includes; unwillingness
to give up from the paper based workflow, doubt of the return on investment, trouble
in dealing with the different management in your practice; disbelief of the
effectiveness in EHR system.
Objectives showing a positive
impact on health and the health care industry
There
are a number of objectives which describe many ways which shows that health IT
and health communication might have a positive impact on health and the health
care industry, which includes;
·
Building of social support networks
·
Providing resources and self-management
tools
·
Supporting the shared decision making
between providers and patients
·
Delivering accessible, actionable and
accurate health information
·
Simplifying the meaningful use of HIT
and interchange of health information between public health
professionals and health care
·
Growing of health learning abilities
·
Allowing informed and immediate action to
public health emergencies and to risks of health
·
Increasing the value of mobile access
and the internet
Why HIT is important?
The
proper usage of health care technology and better communication of health
practitioners may bring important tools of patient and public centered health
services and information. With the combination of health communication
processes, these tools can bring lots of advantages including;
·
Improvement
in the health care safety and quality
·
Increase the number of public health
service delivery and health care
·
Improvement in the infrastructure of
health information
·
Supporting of care in the community or
at different places
·
Building of knowledge and health skills
Understanding of Health Information Technology
It
is very easy and accessible now a day to use the internet for the delivery of
services and health information. This makes increase in need for health
professionals to maintain the development skills in the use and understanding
of health information. Health information technology is to ease the workflow of
medical practitioners by helping them to provide authentic, accurate and better
services.
Components of
intervention in HIT studies
There
are four basic components of intervention in health information technology
studies;
Procedural;
·
this included the components which are testing
·
the established infrastructure of technology
·
The
existed integration and electronic interfaces.
Human
factors
·
Usability of system
·
Specific actions of context
·
Specialty support
Management
of project
·
causing difficult sociotechnical changes
in process around the implementation of HIT
·
supporting IT and other resources of
organization to get project milestones
·
HIT budgets controller ship
Changes
in organization and culture
·
Partnership between administrative
leadership and medical staff to govern
·
Alignment of incentives
·
Assemble structural inertia to attain
looked-for feedback through the change of process.
Changes bring health
information technology
Before
the EHR system, physicians were worried about the paper based record system.
They knew that it would create some difficulties for them. They used to think
about the secure electronic system which was practiced in other organizations.
Health
information technology brings lots of positive changes in health care industry
which includes;
·
Enabling to informed decision making and
increase the quality of care
·
Helps in live saving through remote
consultations it might be diagnostic or urgent
·
Helps to make convenient, efficient and
more cost-effective care delivery
·
Helps
to diagnose more accurately and provide facilities
·
Provide faster and greater access to the
medical history of patient which decreases the risk of drug interactions
negatively and poor responses to treatment course
·
Improves the coordination and efficiency
in administration
·
Provides facility of distant medical
centers to the rural residents
·
Decreases rates of transfer and medical
costs through the visual technology and increasing timeliness of treatment
·
Improve remote in-home monitoring and
defensive care through tele medicine
·
By the usage of wireless devices, it
supports the real-time treatment.
In early 1990s
electronic health record was just a concept rather than reality. Regardless of
the concept of early stage, it was possible to discover like-minded practice
and physician administrators, meanwhile visionary software management team
decided to pay attention on the concept of EHR software. Now health information technology makes
medical practices easier for the practitioners.
