Health IT as a Tool for Prevention in Public Health Policies
examines the current state of Health Information Technology (HIT)
in the United States. It investigates the converging problems of
chronic disease, societal welfare, childhood obesity, and the lack
of healthcare for the economically disadvantaged in the U.S. It
considers various providers of care for disadvantaged groups and
outlines innovative public policy solutions to a wide range of
community problems.The book starts by detailing the major problems
the U.S. has faced with its healthcare system. Next, it describes
current federal efforts to solve these problems and unveils novel
solutions to these challenges. Each chapter examines a different
technological solution that the U.S. is currently investing in and
allocating time, resources, and energy to.Supplying a basic
theoretical foundation on the Patient Protection and Affordable
Care Act (PPACA) and the Health Information Technology for Economic
and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, the book discusses the effects of
geographic disparities and HIT at the meso, macro, and micro levels
of society. It also demonstrates how individuals can use a range of
HITs to improve prevention of health concerns, including mobile
health apps, video games, self-management technologies,
crowdsourcing, and other e-health technologies. The book describes
HIEs, RHIOs, and NHIN and explains how they connect to Community
Health Centers (CHCs). It also explains how CHCs can use HIT to
improve care for the disadvantaged and Medicaid population. It
includes a case study of electronic health literacy and cancer
patients and another on how equipping private practice physicians
with EMRs can help them tackle prevention and improve
organizational functioning.The book concludes by providing a
comparative perspective between the use of HIT in the U.S. and the
United Kingdom and by suggesting the direction that the U.S. should
take toward
