The advantages of health information technology (IT) include facilitating communication between health care providers; improving medication safety, tracking, and reporting; and promoting quality of care through optimized access to and adherence to guidelines. Health IT systems permit the collection of data for use for quality management, outcome reporting, and public health disease surveillance and reporting. However, improvement is needed with all health IT, especially regarding design, implementation, and integration between platforms within the work environment. Robust interoperability is critical for safe care, but this goal has proved elusive. Significant patient safety concerns already have been recognized; it is important to keep patient safety and quality as the primary focus.
健康信息技术（Health Information Technology，简称 IT）的优势包括促进医疗服务提供者之间的沟通；提高药物安全、跟踪和报告的效率；以及通过优化对指南的访问和遵循来提高护理质量。健康 IT 系统允许收集数据，用于质量管理、结果报告以及公共卫生疾病监测和报告。然而，所有健康 IT 都需要改进，特别是在工作环境中的平台之间的设计、实施和集成方面。稳健的互操作性对于安全护理至关重要，但这一目标一直难以实现。已经认识到了重大的患者安全问题；将患者安全和质量作为首要关注点非常重要。
