Healthcare IT Reduces Costs and Improves Quality and Patient Safety - Digital Hospitals
Implementing EHRs and EMRs fuel changes in healthcare
Despite the economic downturn, healthcare is one of the fastest growing IT vertical markets. Healthcare IT reduces costs and improves the quality of care and patient safety.
Aging infrastructure, a lag in technology adoption, and regulatory pressure to implement electronic health records (EHRs) and electronic medical records (EMRs) are fueling changes in healthcare. Adoption of EMRs in the US is on the rise: 23% of hospitals with more than 500 beds reported fully operational EMRs in 2007 and 30% of physicians stated they used EMRs.
