Purpose and Process:
This assignment increases awareness of the purpose and application of information technology in healthcare. It examines the role of reliable, accurate, current, secure, and relevant clinical and administrative information, as well as the applicability and value of advanced diagnostic and therapeutic technologies.
Technology offers tools to aid in accomplishing wider organizational goals, but are only effective if designed, developed, and deployed in a broader organizational context. Information technology by itself is not the answer to management problems; technology must be part of a broader restructuring of the organization, including reengineering of business processes.
