• “HIT” has been
promoted as having
tremendous
promise in
improving the
efficiency, costeffectiveness,
quality, and safety
of medical care
delivery in our
nation's healthcare
system.

• the need for healthcare
to follow the example of
many non-healthcare
industries, in which
implementation of
computer information
technology has been
critical in increasing
the accessibility of
mission-critical
information, automating
labor-intensive and
inefficient processes,
and minimizing human
error.
• The most
important
use for HIT
may be to
help reduce
medical
errors.

3. HEALTH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
Definition
Provides the umbrella framework to describe the comprehensive
management of health information across computerized systems
and its secure exchange between consumers, providers,
government and quality entities, and insurers. Health information
technology (HIT) is in general increasingly viewed as the most
promising tool for improving the overall quality, safety and
efficiency of the health delivery system (Chaudhry et al., 2006).

4. HEALTH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
Health informatics describes the use and
sharing of information within the healthcare
industry with contributions from computer
science, mathematics, and psychology.
MIS750
It deals with the resources, devices, and methods
required for optimizing the acquisition, storage,
retrieval, and use of information in health and
biomedicine.
Concepts
Health information tools include not only
computers but also clinical guidelines,
formal medical terminologies, and
information and communication systems.
Medical informatics, nursing informatics,
public health informatics and pharmacy
informatics are sub-disciplines that inform
health informatics from different
disciplinary perspectives.
