The slow but progressive adoption of health information technology (IT) nationwide promises to usher in a new era in health care. Electronic health record systems provide a complete patient record at the point of care and can help to alleviate some of the challenges of a fragmented delivery system, such as drug-drug interactions. Moreover, health IT promotes evidence-based practice by identifying gaps in recommended treatment and providing clinical decision-support tools. In addition, the data collected through digital records can be used to monitor patient outcomes and identify potential improvements in care protocols. Kaiser Permanente continues to advance its capability in each of these areas.
全国范围内健康信息技术（IT）的缓慢但逐步的采用有望开创医疗保健的新时代。电子健康记录系统在医疗点提供完整的患者记录，并有助于缓解分散式医疗系统的一些挑战，如药物相互作用。此外，健康信息技术通过识别推荐治疗中的差距并提供临床决策支持工具来促进循证实践。此外，通过数字记录收集的数据可用于监测患者结果并确定护理方案中的潜在改进。凯撒医疗集团在这些领域的每一个都在不断提升其能力。
