Critical Factors in Implementing an IT System in Health Facilities

Implementing a new information technology system will be an inevitable task for a healthcare organization because healthcare organizations grow and change. Therefore information technology must evolve to meet the changing demands of the organization. According to Wager, Lee and Glaser (2013) this task requires a significant amount of planning and preparation for the facility. The purpose of this paper is to understand the following: reasons why some organizations are reluctant to implement electronic records; review the manner in which the Health Insurance and Accountable Act (HIPAA) impacts medical records; determine advantages and disadvantages of the HITECH Act and suggest one strategy to use in order to mitigate the main advantages of the act. Additionally, the paper will review workflow processes within organizations related to healthcare IT and decide significant processes that should be eliminated to improve service; analyze way in which key federal initiatives impact standards of information for privacy, safety and confidentiality; and state fundamental advantages of applying IT systems in organizations. Finally the paper will predict new IT developments for the next two decades, justifying the reasoning for the technology predictions.
