Recent healthcare reform and its provisions have pushed health
information technology (HIT) into the forefront. Higher life
expectancies, fewer medical errors, lower costs, and improved
transparency are all possible through HIT.Taking an integrated
approach, Impact of Healthcare Informatics on Quality of Patient
Care and Health Services examines the various types of
organizations, including nonprofit hospitals, for-profit hospitals,
community health centers, and government hospitals. By doing so, it
provides you with a comparative perspective of how different
organizations adapt and use the technology.The first part of the
book covers the basics of HIT. It explains the significant changes
that the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical
Health Act (HITECH) and the Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act (HIPAA) will bring about for stakeholders. This
section includes coverage of key organizational cultural factors,
management changes that will result from HIT, hospital financing
changes that may take effect, a cost-benefit analysis of electronic
medical records (EMRs), and the numerous organizational behavior
changes stimulated by HIT.The second part of the book focuses on
the broader community: the patient, the physician, government, and
how HIT will impact each. These chapters cover quality of care and
cost impacts on the patient from HIT, changes for patients of
varying socioeconomic statuses, physician perceptions of HIT,
medical malpractice lawsuits involving the use of HIT,
bioterrorism, and use of EMRs. The book also includes a discussion
about mobile health, and how a rapidly growing mobile health
generation is changing the face of healthcare as we know it.
