Healthcare and healthcare information technology (IT) are in the midst of a transformation. Advancements are allowing providers to better meet the needs of their patient communities and, in the process, improving the delivery of care, overall quality, and outcomes. Playing an integral role in these efforts is technology. IT is helping healthcare providers to make faster, smarter decisions concerning care decisions; add new modalities for care delivery; better support patients throughout the care continuum; and drive efficiencies that reduce costs, enhance staff productivity, and strengthen the bottom line.
Unfortunately, as healthcare providers work to maximize the benefits of IT, they must confront significant challenges. These include evolving compliance requirements, opportunistic cybercriminals, natural and manmade disasters, and now the COVID-19 pandemic. Regardless of an organization's size, these challenges can represent significant barriers to the delivery of safe, cost-effective, and efficient care.
