Medical information technology: a vehicle for change
by Bryan P. Bergeron, Michael T. Bailin
International Journal of Healthcare Technology and Management (IJHTM), Vol. 1, No. 1/2, 1999

Abstract: Medicine is under extreme pressure to reinvent itself into a system based on standard metrics that are repeatable and open to outside inspection and criticism. In this milieu, information technology takes a central role in the ongoing evolution of health care, simultaneously empowering clinicians and making them more accountable to the public, the government and their patients.
