In the last 10 years, health information technology (HIT) has made a tremendous impact on every member of the healthcare ecosystem – including patients. Xerox has played a part in this movement by continually working on innovative ways to simplify the business of healthcare – something we’ve been doing for more than 40 years now.
That’s why we’re happy to raise awareness of the 9th Annual National Health IT Week – a week dedicated to collaboration and discussion on how to advance health through the best use of information technology.
Simplify Work and Real Business have published a number of articles on different innovative HIT topics, including mobile health, telemedicine and electronic health records. In celebration of National Health IT week, below are links to articles that remind us of the special ways technology is transforming care:
