Selita JansenWe reached out to OSP to provide an estimate on a technology solution we were interested in developing. From the initial conversation, the team was professional, courteous, and thorough. We were able to make a quick decision to move forward with OSP because we were confident that our requirements were accurately captured and the development deliverables and associated costs were clear. The OSP development team stayed on schedule and within budget throughout the build phase and provided weekly communications to keep our team informed along the way. If we require application development in the future, OSP will be the first call we make.
US is facing a crisis of inadequate care for pregnant women, particularly for those in rural or disadvantaged socioeconomic communities. Shortages of maternal-fetal medicine experts (MFM) have reached critical levels.
Our US-based client wanted to solve this challenge by using technology to provide quality health access to pregnant women. Building a solution that connects MFM experts to pregnant women in the remote local clinic through real-time video streaming was the need of the hour.

Information technology (IT) systems in healthcare include computers and other technology to store, assess, manage, and share medical data for everyday operations. These operations can include activities related to patient care, in addition to the activities related to administration.
The use of IT systems enables the healthcare industry to adopt new technologies and serve all its stakeholders better. They pave the way for innovations in diagnosis as well as clinical care which
ultimately result in better outcomes for patients, efficiency in workflows, and compliance with regulations.
Healthcare IT systems are electronic systems used by professionals in the healthcare industry to store, analyze, share, and manage health information. Patients too have been increasingly using medical IT solutions to access healthcare services and engage with their providers.
Examples of healthcare IT solutions include – Electronic health records (EHRs), hospital management systems, e-prescription software, telehealth applications, etc.
The main role of information technology (IT) in healthcare is to increase the speed, accuracy, efficiency, and productivity of everyday operations. IT systems replace physical paper-based workflows with digital ones, enabling all the necessary information to be accessed with a few clicks on a screen. The major advantage of IT systems in healthcare is the consolidation of all the medical and operational data into a centralized repository.
This enables all the doctors and non-medical staff to access it securely for their respective roles. The doctors do so for patient care, while staffers involved in medical billing, coding, insurance verification, and claims management can access the data for their job.
The use of information technology in healthcare accelerates the speed and productivity, since nobody needs to store, retrieve, carry, or handle physical documentation. All the data can be accessed on a screen, and the software applications feature security measures to ensure the privacy and integrity of the data.
When doctors can access patients’ updated information, they can make informed decisions to treat patients rapidly. Healthcare IT systems like EHR (Electronic Health Records) store all the medical data on patients, and accessing this enables efficient care. Moreover, medical coders can code each patients’ clinical encounter, generate claims, and send them over to payers with a few clicks. The payers can adjudicate the claims faster using dedicated software and reimburse providers accordingly.
To sum it up, IT in healthcare has propelled the industry to new heights and benefitted all the stakeholders.
Healthcare information technology indicates the technology systems used to run operations in the healthcare industry. These systems are mainly used to store, manage, and process both clinical and medical information to facilitate workflows at hospitals and clinics. Providers use healthcare IT systems to access patients’ medical data for treatments, while other professionals in healthcare use the data for activities like medical billing, claims, reimbursements, research, and so forth.
In short, health information technology is any system that can be used to store and use data digitally.
Health IT (Information technology) is the use of information technology, which includes computers with associated hardware, software, and network infrastructure to create, record, store, manage, and use clinical, operational, and financial information at medical organizations.
Healthcare IT includes a number of software platforms that enable hospitals and clinics to conduct their day-to-day operations.
One of the biggest advantages of health information technology is that it digitizes the activities which would otherwise require maintaining large quantities of physical documentation. The backbone of any health IT system is the centralization of data stored in digital format, and streamlining the access to that data through dedicated software.
When medical data can be accessed by the relevant healthcare professionals, they can carry on operations and work faster. When the necessary data can be accessed in seconds on a screen, everything from patient care to billing and insurance get done faster and with minimal errors. This type of speed and accuracy, coupled with a boost in productivity in all the operations eventually translates into better care for patients.
In addition to improved patient care, health IT systems also introduce transparency and facilitate smoother HIPAA compliance. This is because digital data cannot be misplaced or misappropriated without accountability.
To sum it up, health IT maximizes the speed and productivity of medical operations, in addition to minimizing the errors. This eventually trickles down to a significant overall improvement in the quality of care.
The main purpose of a health information system (HIS) is to act as a central repository of patients’ medical data and facilitate fast and seamless access to it. By enabling rapid access to health data, a HIS helps doctors make treatment decision faster and with greater accuracy. A doctor can view a patient’s entire health history through such a system and diagnose a problem accurately. Moreover, an administrator of a hospital can have all the operational data of the hospital on his or her HIS platform. This data includes the number of admissions, discharges, reimbursements, claims, accounts receivables, employee time sheets, and so on. All this data on one consolidated interface helps the administrator monitor and track the everyday workflows, which helps in making necessary management decisions.
In other words, a health information system facilitates informed decision-making by integrating all the necessary data in one place.
1. Resources
These are the constituents required to develop a health information system (HIS). These consist of the core technology, the people to build and operate it, and the associated financing. In addition to these tangible constituent parts, others include the governing framework for operations, planning, and the relevant legislation.
2. Indicators
These factors are the reason why the HIS is developed. They represent the main parameters for the operation of the HIS. Indicators can include the input data, results, status, and other markers which the HIS is required to display.
3. Data Sources
A health information system is built to display data and its corresponding insights. In order to churn these insights, the HIS would need appropriate data inputs. At a hospital, these inputs can include the revenues, accounts receivables, number of patients admitted, ER admittance, clinical outcomes, and others that show the quality of the operations.
4. Data Management
The main part of a HIS is the function to collect, store, organize, analyze, and use the data. Data management is one of the purposes of any HIS.
5. Insights
This is perhaps the most important function any HIS. The data that it accepts needs to be processed to reveal vital insights. These insights help administrators make sense of the data and make informed decisions based on the data.
6. Availability
The final component of a HIS is the function of making the data and insights available for usage. The decision makers must be able to share this insight and act upon them.
Health informatics is the combination of information technology, computing technology, and healthcare. It is mainly concerned with the ways and means of collecting, storing, accessing, and utilizing medical data.
A health informatics system can collect, store, organize, manage, and process data to reveal useful insights from it. These insights help clinicians as well as healthcare managers to make informed decisions regarding medical operations.
