Change Is Coming To Health Care Practices

Surveys show that most medium or smaller sized health care provider enterprises do not have any full-time staff members who are responsible for ensuring that their information technology - computers, networks, servers, or applications - are installed, administered and maintained effectively. Until recently, that's a strategy that made sense. The scope or impact of their information systems didn't warrant the cost.

As they say ... that was then, this is now.

Faced with increasing emphasis on expanding the use of information technology to enhance service, gain efficiency, and control costs, health care providers of all types - from individual physician's practices to long-term care facilities - are beginning to address new and unfamiliar challenges like:

• identifying, evaluating, and procuring new information management systems, such as Electronic Health Records (EHR) systems

• deciding how to interconnect and interoperate these new systems with those of other providers and payers through a Health Information Exchange (HIE)

• determining how prepared their infrastructure is to support more computers, more users, and more applications

• analyzing, planning, and introducing extensive changes into their operations, with new procedures, new skills, and new issues
