Ans) Informatics may be a key tool for helping to improve patient care quality, safety, and efficiency.
- However, questions remain about how best to use existing technologies, deploy new ones, and to evaluate the effects.
- A great deal of research has been done on changing provider behavior, but most work to date has shown that process benefits are easier to achieve than outcomes benefits, especially for chronic diseases.
- Use of secondary data (data warehouses and disease registries) has enormous potential, though published research is scarce.
- It is now clear in most nations that one of the key tools for improving patient safety will be information technology--many more studies of different approaches are needed in this area.
- Finally, both personal health records and clinical data exchange appear to be potentially transformative developments, but much of the published research to date on these topics appears to be taking place in the U.S.--more research from other nations is needed.
