HEALTH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

Health information technology (Health IT) allows comprehensive management of medical information and its secure exchange between health care consumers and providers. Broad use of health IT will improve healthcare quality; prevent medical errors; reduce healthcare costs; increase administrative efficiencies; and expand access to affordable care. Health information technologies can also be tools to help patients maintain their health through better health information.
