The world of healthcare technology is constantly evolving through the implementation of new initiatives, software and systems that are designed to improve patient outcomes while reducing costs. One current area of focus has been on the adoption of Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE), Electronic Medical Records (EMR) and Electronic Prescribing (E-prescribing) which have all helped reduce errors in prescribing medications or treatments as well as improved communication between providers.

Additionally, Health Information Exchanges (HIE) allow for secure transfers of electronically stored information between different organizations; this helps facilitate better coordination of care across multiple locations while also allowing for greater sharing among providers. Similarly, Personal Health Records (PHRs) help empower individuals by giving them access to their own medical records online so they can manage their health more efficiently.

Finally, due to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act in 2009 there was a surge in support for healthcare IT initiatives that allowed hospitals and other eligible organizations to receive incentive payments if they adopted EHRs; this program encouraged many health centers around the country to modernize their systems which has led to significant improvements in patient care over the years.
