This chapter explores the application of Information Technology to healthcare in the United States. Recent developments and trends in healthcare information technology (HIT) are presented and discussed. Widespread adoption of HIT promises to save lives, save money, and improve health. Definitions, descriptions, and examples of electronic health records (EHRs) and personal health records (PHRs) are provided. The significant efforts to broadly and meaningfully adopt HIT over the next several years are discussed. The significant challenges in implementing EHRs are discussed, including transformation of clinical processes. Finally, the impact of HIT on the concept of ownership of the healthcare record and how it may change the relationship between the patient and healthcare provider are explored. Implementing effective HIT on a nationwide scale will require considerable effort.

Data breaches are occurring at an unprecedented rate. Between June 2019 and early October 2020, over 564 data breaches affected over 36.6 million patients as posted to the United States Federal government HITECH portal. These patients are at risk for having their identities stolen or sold on alternative marketplaces. Some healthcare entities are working to manage privacy and security risks to their operations, research, and patients. However, many have some procedures and policies in place, with few (if any) centrally managing all their infrastructure risks. For example, many healthcare organizations are not tracking or updating all the known and potential concerns and elements into a centralized repository following industry best practice timetables for auditing and insurance quantification. This chapter examines known and potential problems in healthcare information technology and discusses a new open source risk management standardized framework library to improve the coordination and communication of the aforementioned problematic management components. The healthcare industry would benefit from adopting such a standardized risk-centric framework.

Summaryto select and summarize excellent research published in 2010 in the field of bio-medical informatics human factors.we attempt to derive a synthetic overview of the activity and new trends in this field, from a selection of worldwide research papers published during 2010.this year again, healthcare information technology (HIT) adoption occupies a central role in the field and leads to research focused mainly on measuring impact and factors influencing it. One of the selected papers especially dissects the anatomy of a nationwide personal electronic health record adoption failure.Due to the vast and increasing amount of excellent works, choosing the best papers in human factors is a challenge. More and more the published work takes into account fundamental principles expressed in Grudin’s Laws, one form of which is: “When those who beneût from a technology are not those who do the work, then the technology is likely to fail or be subverted.”.

Looking Back

This chapter is a longitudinal review of Health Information Technology (HIT) research. The adoption, implementation, and use of HIT continue to present challenges to organizations, the research community, and to society in general. The first place that new waves of thought are often aired is at conferences. This chapter explores the evolution taking place in this domain by looking back through the years over work presented at the longest standing international conference track focused on adoption, implementation, diffusion, and evaluation of health Information Technology.
