Interoperable Health IT can improve individual patient care in numerous ways, including: Complete, accurate, and searchable health information, available at
the point of diagnosis and care, allowing for more informed decision making to enhance the quality and reliability of health care delivery.
More efficient and convenient delivery of care, without having to wait for the exchange of records or paperwork and without requiring unnecessary or repetitive tests or procedures.
Earlier diagnosis and characterization of disease, with the potential to thereby improve outcomes and reduce costs.
Reductions in adverse events through an improved understanding of each patient’s particular medical history, potential for drug-drug interactions, or (eventually) enhanced understanding of a patient's metabolism or even genetic profile and likelihood of a positive or potentially harmful response to a course of treatment.
Increased efficiencies related to administrative tasks, allowing for more interaction with and transfer of information to patients, caregivers, and clinical care coordinators, and monitoring of patient care
