Healthcare IT finds applications in hospitals, pharmacies, diagnostic and imaging centers, ambulatory care centers, and others. Various healthcare IT applications are used to improve healthcare effectiveness and productivity, reduce healthcare costs, and prevent medical errors. For instance, software solutions such as hospital information systems, ambulatory care management systems, e-prescribing systems, patient management systems, and health record (EHR) systems are widely accepted by hospitals and clinics.
Advanced Diagnostic and Imaging to Facilitate Information Exchange
Healthcare IT plays a vital role in several aspects of the diagnostic process by capturing patient information, including results from physical examination, diagnostic testing, and imaging. Many applications also help in decision-making during the diagnostic process and streamlining information exchange. For instance, OKI Europe Ltd. developed a new software solution called DICOM RIP Pro software, which can be integrated with its multifunction printer called ES9476 MFP. Hospitals and clinics can use this software for storing medical images in the form of a color booklet, which can be obtained through MRI, X-ray, CT scans, or ultrasound results. Color booklets can clearly show the progress of treatment.
