Health Information Technology (HIT)

Health Information Technology (HIT) refers to the digital tools and systems used to manage health information. This includes electronic health records (EHRs), which store patients' medical histories, and software that supports medical billing, scheduling, and clinical decision-making. HIT aims to improve the quality of care, enhance communication among healthcare providers, and empower patients to access their health information. By streamlining processes and ensuring accurate data sharing, HIT helps healthcare facilities operate more efficiently and make informed decisions that ultimately improve patient outcomes.
