As a leader in information
processing software and management solutions, Ecompex is on
the cutting edge of technologies that will lead the market
for federal Health IT. So what is federal Health IT and why
is it so important to Ecompex?
Health IT came to the forefront in 2004 when President Bush
made it a priority on his agenda, by issuing an Executive Order
mandating updates in medical information technology. The main
focus of federal Health IT is converting paper medical records
into electronic records and standardizing them. This is meant
to make the cumbersome healthcare system more efficient by
changing the way health information is used and shared, which
will make accessing medical information easier for doctors
and patients.

To really understand
why federal Health IT changes are necessary, just imagine warehouses
filled with rows and stacks of boxes of paper medical records,
an intimidating image when you think about having to find a
particular piece of information. Now, picture the future of
healthcare, where information can be accessed anywhere almost
instantaneously, an invaluable ability, especially in the case
of an emergency.
This future is not merely a dream to those on Capitol Hill
and in the White House. They have mandated that medical records
be made electronic and standardized, so that information can
be easily shared and updated across the vast healthcare system.
