Health information technology can be a powerful tool for improving the quality of health care delivery. Yet, the transition to implementation can be expensive and challenging, and it can sometimes be difficult to demonstrate the return on investment.
Identify a specific challenge related to quality and safety. (This may be the same challenge you selected for this week's Discussion or a different one.)
What stakeholder concerns might arise?
How would it potentially decrease (or would it possibly increase) systems errors and/or errors related to human factors?
How could the return on investment be determined?
Identify a specific challenge related to quality and safety.
Explain how health information technology could be used to address this challenge. (Make your response as specific as possible.)
Evaluate possible outcomes of the implementation of this technology.
