This week’s lesson focuses on the use of HIT as an integral part of the U.S. healthcare delivery system. You have learned about the government’s contributions, which include financial and legislative mandates to HIT. Despite the sizable investment and emphasis by public and private sectors, there is mixed scientific evidence on the benefits of HIT when looking at quality and cost of care. Your assignment this week is to write a paper that includes the following:
- Briefly discuss the history of HIT and how it has evolved in the U.S. since the early 1960s. Be sure to discuss the role of large academic health institutions in the development and implementation of HIT.
- Discuss the major challenges of implementing HIT in the U.S. healthcare delivery system. Summarize strategies to overcoming these challenges.
- Identify and discuss areas of opportunity for improving quality, effectiveness, and efficiency of the healthcare delivery system using HIT.
