This paper attempts to analyze whether information technology can promote economic growth? Using mathematical modeling methods, this paper established an endogenous economic growth model containing information technology. The results show that advances in information technology are the engine of economic growth, and by improving the quality of capital goods, it reverses the trend of diminishing marginal product of capital goods and achieves transformation of economic growth pattern in the process of promoting economic growth. On the other hand, with the advances of information technology, information dissemination is more efficient. By reducing transaction costs and optimizing resource allocation, it would improve the total factor productivity.

National legislation is in place to facilitate reform of the United States health care industry. The Health Care Information Technology and Clinical Health Act (HITECH) offers financial incentives to hospitals, physicians, and individual providers to establish an electronic health record that ultimately will link with the health information technology of other health care systems and providers. The information collected will facilitate patient safety, promote best practice, and track health trends such as smoking and childhood obesity.
