Information Technology
Information Technology (IT) is a powerful business tool, and when used appropriately, IT can greatly assist healthcare organizations in achieving their business goals. For most health systems, IT represents the second largest capital investment after construction. In addition, much like construction, capital investment in IT is followed by increased expense in operations and maintenance. IT has the potential to impact all areas of an organization to transform the way they operate, producing better efficiency and improved quality, as well as better information from which to make decisions.
