Examples of HIT implementation

Florida:  An electronic intensive care unit (e-ICU) for remote monitoring of patients 24/7.  The system will notify medical staff onsite in case of a crisis.  This technology has saved lives.

Massachusetts:  E-prescribing technology.  Hand held devices are used to check medication history and renew them, as well as, check allergies and drug interactions.  Handwriting errors are also reduced.

Utah: A website for managing health savings account (HSA) balances and health insurance claim tracking. 

Nevada: Digital radiology program to capture X-rays in digital format.  The images can have annotations from the physician. 

Washington state: Interactive website for PHR information, communication, and information.

New York: The same as above.

Tennessee: Website that retrieves information for Medicaid participants.
