Information Technology Case Studies

President Obama stated that one central issue to the country’s future is healthcare. Within the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, $19 billion has been invested in computerized medical records that will help to reduce costs and improve quality while insuring patients’ privacy.

The transition to electronic health records (EHRs), which Obama urges to be complete within the next five years, has united companies and healthcare facilities that are willing accept the challenge of change. The day for EHRs is here. Standards have been coordinated, structural design is planned, the only barrier is political. While some remain skeptical, others have embraced this change and present case studies to show IT implementation as a success, allowing care coordination, improvement, better healthcare value (reduced cost, enhanced quality) and create job revenue.
