Health Care IT : Support for Health Care Providers

IT Support Specifically Tuned to Health Care Providers

Incorporating proactive managed services presents an opportunity for a move toward secure, streamlined health care.

Medical IT can best be explained as technology that allows the secure exchange of medical and patient information between health care providers, patients, insurers, and other administrative entities.

With the 1996 Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) the U.S. Government established new privacy regualtions that govern the use and disclosure of a patient's health care information. The law has limited health care provider's ability to utilize the technological benefits that are currently available. IT firms like Acclamar, however are one of the few companies that meet the current HIPAA compliance standards, and opportunities for providers are expanding by partnering with Acclamar.

The Future of Health Care

Health maintenance practices have been mandated by the U.S. Government to reform the way they use information technology.

Part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 includes a section called the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH) which ensures that there will be an increased effort to incorporate IT into the health care field by requiring health service providers to meet U.S. Government-mandated checkpoints with regards to implementation of applicable technologies.
