Life‐or‐DeathMany & varied stakeholders Strong professional values Evolving standards of care Fragmented, poorly‐coordinated systems Large, ever‐growing & changing body of knowledge
High volume, low resources, little time
Why Health care Isn’t Like Any Others?

Why Adopting Health IT?
“To Computerize”“To Go paperless”
“Digital Hospital”
“To Modernize”
“To Get a HIS”
“To Have EMRs”
“To Share data”
16
“Don’t implement technology just for technology’s sake.”
“Don’t make use of excellent technology. Make excellent use of technology.”(Tangwongsan, Supachai. Personal communication, 2005.)
“Health care IT is not a panacea for all that ails medicine.” (Hersh, 2004)
Some Quotes

What Clinicians Want?
To treat & to care for their patients to their best abilities, given limited time & resources

Class Exercise
How information systems & ICT can
contribute toward high quality care?
21
Achieving Quality Care with Information
SafeDrug allergiesMedication Reconciliation
Timely Complete information at point of care
EffectiveBetter clinical decision‐making
22
Achieving Quality Care with Information
Efficient Faster care Time & cost savingsReducing unnecessary tests
EquitableAccess to providers & knowledge
Patient‐Centered Empowerment & better self‐care
23
That’s Where Health IT Plays A Role...

Various Forms of Health IT
Hospital Information System (HIS) Computerized Provider Order Entry (CPOE)
Electronic Health Records (EHRs)
Picture Archiving and Communication System
(PACS)
26
Still Many Other Forms of Health IT

Value of Health IT (in Literature)
28
Fundamental Theorem of Informatics

29
Is There A Role for Health IT?
IOM (2000)
30
Landmark IOM Reports
IOM (2001)IOM (2000)
31
Humans are not perfect and are bound to make errors
Highlight problems in the U.S. health care system that systematically contributes to medical errors and poor quality
Recommends reform that would change how health care works and how technology innovations can help improve quality/safety
Landmark IOM Reports: Summary
32
Health care is very complex (and inefficient) Health care is information‐rich Quality of care depends on timely availability & quality of information
Clinical knowledge body is too large Short time during a visit Practice guidelines are put “on‐the‐shelf” “To err is human”
Summary: Why We Need Health IT

Medication Errors Drug Allergies
Drug Interactions
Ineffective or inappropriate treatment
Redundant orders
Failure to follow clinical practice guidelines
