The Impact of HIT on Patient Choice and Access to Healthcare
Considering the impact that HIT has had on patient choice and access to healthcare, in an APA formatted paper that is 10 pages in length (not including cover sheet or Reference page) discuss the following points and support your ideas with outside research.
Your paper should cover the following:
-How has health information technology changed patients as consumers?
-How has HIT changed how patients select doctors, facilities, and treatment?
-Has the way patients select providers/care changed how providers/organizations approach care to attract patients?
-Are patients who do not have access to HIT at a disadvantage? Does this cause inequality in care?
