Pneumonia continues to be a leading cause of hospitalization and mortality. Implementation of health information technology (HIT) can lead to cost savings and improved care. In this review, we examine the literature on the use of HIT in the management of community-acquired pneumonia. We also discuss barriers to adoption of technology in managing pneumonia, the reliability and quality of electronic health data in pneumonia research, how technology has assisted pneumonia diagnosis and outcomes research. The goal of using HIT is to develop and deploy generalizable, real-time, computerized clinical decision support integrated into usual pneumonia care. A friendly user interface that does not disrupt efficiency and demonstrates improved clinical outcomes should result in widespread adoption.
肺炎仍然是导致住院和死亡的主要原因。实施健康信息技术（HIT）可以节省成本并改善医疗服务。在这篇综述中，我们研究了 HIT 在社区获得性肺炎管理中的应用文献。我们还讨论了在管理肺炎方面采用技术的障碍、电子健康数据在肺炎研究中的可靠性和质量、技术如何协助肺炎诊断和结果研究。使用 HIT 的目标是开发和部署可推广、实时、计算机化的临床决策支持，集成到常规肺炎护理中。一个友好的用户界面不会降低效率，并能显示出改善的临床结果，应该会导致广泛采用。
