Dear AuntMinnie Member,
Healthcare IT presents an uncomfortable dilemma for many medical institutions. On the one hand, it's held up as the panacea for all of healthcare's ills, offering the chance to provide better patient service and more efficient operations in an era of shrinking budgets. On the other hand, it often represents an unproven technology that can result in a black hole of capital investment -- a difficult pill to swallow in an era of shrinking budgets.
Today in our Healthcare IT Digital Community, staff writer Wayne Forrest takes a look at some of the ways you can make healthcare IT work for your facility. Successful tactics can range from a careful calculation of return on investment (ROI) to successful project management techniques, as well as finding the right people to champion the project within your institution.
