Consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton has released a report detailing the top nine ways IT is  transforming the health care industry, Becker’s Hospital Review reports (Rodak, Becker’s Hospital Review, 11/16).

The report noted that health IT has significant potential to make the U.S.  health care system more patient-centered.

  • Improve collaboration among health care providers through the use of  digitized health information;
  • Ensure seamless transitions for patients who change care settings;
  • Enable faster emergency care via mobile technologies that allow physicians  to obtain real-time information on a patient’s condition;
  • Provide patients and their families with greater access to medical  information and empower them to become educated advocates for their own care;
  • Make care more convenient for patients through tools such as online  appointment scheduling, telehealth, remote monitoring and mobile technology;
  • Improve care for military service members by providing medics with immediate  access to medical records;
  • Enhance the response to public health emergencies and disasters; and
