Health Information Technologies

Paper Summary:

This paper presents a research proposal that will examine the correlation between investments in creating a single healthcare management systems platform or infrastructure and how this influences healthcare providers' efficiencies on key measures of performance. These key measures include increases in patient satisfaction, increases in preventative healthcare education and its effectiveness on the patient base of healthcare providers, and reductions in patient mortality. In addition, the paper relates that the proposed research will also assess the efficiency of emergency room performance as a result of having an enterprise-wide availability of patient records and content, as will the efficiencies gained in emergency rooms as a result of enterprise-wide systems integration.

From the Paper:

"The proposed research will examine the correlation between investments in creating a single healthcare management systems platform or infrastructure and how this influences healthcare providers' efficiencies on key measures of performance. These key measures include increases in patient satisfaction, increases in preventative healthcare education and its effectiveness on the patient base of healthcare providers, and reductions in patient mortality. In addition, the efficiency of emergency room performance as a result of having an enterprise-wide availability of patient records and content will also be assessed. The efficiencies gained in emergency rooms as a result of enterprise-wide systems integration is also going to be evaluated".
