Why healthcare IT should matter to you

Posted 8 July, 2007 in healthcare it benefits, news

QuadraMed (a Medical billing company) published a list of ten reasons why consumers should care about health information technology. I was happy to see such a list and I’ve included a few of their reasons below:

Health information technology:

• improves the quality of care
• prevents some medical errors
• empowers consumers to make smarter healthcare decisions.
• saves consumers money.
• decreases billing errors.
• is critical in the event of a nation-wide emergency.
• increases accountability from providers.
