Abstract:
Technology in health care has spanned several decades. Over the last 60 years, technology has grown to include all parts of health care, with latest advancements around EMR platforms, analytics, and interoperability. EMR platforms are costly, and adoption was slow until the Federal Government developed incentives for adopting technology; this created a boom of health care IT platform adoption. This increased the amount of health care data available. EMR, IT platform, and analytics are used to measure disease processes against best practice, drawing parallels between practice and outcomes. Health care technology is now necessary to provide quality care to patients.
