Healthcare Information Technology
Final submissions due: 15 December 2009
Publication date: March/April 2010
Adopting information technology for healthcare continues to present new challenges as we move into an era of universally accessible electronic medical records and telemedicine. Efforts at healthcare reform have created new incentives for the adoption of healthcare IT, and work continues in improving access to healthcare and providing new services to rural areas. The continuing development of national and international standards for implementing interoperable electronic health records has contributed to the growth of this IT sector.
