10. IT VS Health Care10

11. What is the Information Technology
• IT is the branch of engineering that deals with the
use of computers to store, retrieve and transmit
information.
• IT is the area of managing technology and spans a
wide variety of areas that include computer
software, information systems, computer hardware,
programming languages but are not limited to
things such as processes, and data constructs.

• Health care (or healthcare) is the diagnosis,
treatment, and prevention of disease, illness, injury,
and other physical and mental impairments in
humans.
• Health care is delivered by practitioners in
medicine, chiropractic, dentistry, nursing, pharmacy,
allied health, and other care providers.

18. Why We Need Health IT
18
 Health care is very complex (and inefficient)
 Health care is information-rich
 Quality of care depends on timely availability &
quality of information
 Clinical knowledge body is too large to be in any
clinician’s brain, and the short time during a visit
makes it worse
 Practice guidelines are put “on-the-shelf”
