While information technology refers to the usage of computers and telecommunications and other systems to store, retrieve and share information, HIT refers to the secure use of technology to manage health-related information. The most common examples of healthcare information technology are e-prescriptions, electronic health records (EHRs), and other tech tools that help patients meet health goals, such as managing blood sugar levels or quitting smoking. Information technology has paved the way for more accurate EHRs/ EMRs that help patients access various healthcare facilities easily. Additionally, it has given patients more control over their health through various mobile apps and information platforms.
Healthcare information technology’s primary purpose is maintaining privacy while improving patient care. HIT enables medical professionals to take better care of patients and improve their communication with patients.
Technology plays a vital role in today’s medical facility, but your staff needs to focus on patients. Well-designed and reliable technology frees up the time and attention of your staff, enabling them to focus on patient care. Furthermore, a robust network allows your facility to implement powerful new tech, like the latest monitoring devices.
Network security is crucial for any healthcare provider. It’s not merely a matter of meeting regulatory requirements, but of protecting your investments into equipment and ensuring the privacy of patient health care records. Data security is a vital component of your credibility and reputation.
When your network is working as it should, your staff always have access to the information they need to provide the best possible care for patients. Teams can only operate as teams when they can effectively communicate, and information technology makes that possible.
Errors are inevitable when hardware and software aren’t designed with the needs of end users in mind. Our technology can help ensure that your team members are more successful as they input and verify codes, leading to fewer medical errors. Reduced errors means reduced costs — and better patient outcomes.
The right healthcare IT provider can save you money on the purchase of telecom and wireless networking products, give you a competitive advantage in your marketplace and save you money as you implement new technologies. Information technology can help your facility operate more efficiently in many ways, from automating repetitive tasks and managing a large staff to quickly putting the right information in front of the people who need it.
Your patient’s medical records and billing information is too important to be lost due to a power outage or a failing hard drive. Worldwide Services can implement technologies that will ensure speedy recovery of your systems and your data in the event of a disaster or emergency.
