The present state of health IT in the U.S. is hard to really understand without dwelling on how far we have come and where we have been. All the documents were preserved on paper not that long ago. It was only possible to exchange charts through a fax machine or courier. You saw your family doctor at your local hospital for all that you wanted. It was hard and boring to access healthcare data.
In the past 20 years, monumental changes have been made that have changed the way medical care is delivered by the healthcare industry and the way the public expects to be handled. Our patients are not only highly dependent on technology for the industry, they are tech-savvy and expect to be handled as such.
The standard of healthcare provided to patients is one of the most critical, and widely discussed, aspects of our culture. And, certainly, implementing technology that helps physicians to deliver better patient care is a driving force behind quality healthcare. The US. National Health IT (NHIT) Week is an opportunity to highlight the importance and relevance of healthcare information and technology across the nation. It is necessary to take the time to articulate the shared benefits for patients and providers to the public and policymakers who depend on health IT and influence its use with an increased dependence on technology.
In the last 20 years, technology’s position in healthcare has grown exponentially and statistics have risen in accordance with our technological developments in society. According to Borris Dehtiar, our ability to store, exchange, and interpret information about health is directly related to improved technology. The use of technology improves the capacities of physicians and access to patients while improving the quality of care for some patients and saving others’ lives. We are moving into an age in which, via telemedicine, doctors can see patients remotely and effectively diagnose a patient’s problems, including in most rural areas. We have advanced from the use of technology to enhance patient care and the healthcare industry.
