The third quarter of 2005 continued a trend of positive developments in the
healthcare information technology marketplace. A significant development was
the publication of RAND's peer-reviewed study that indicates healthcare information
technology could save the country's healthcare system $162 billion annually
through improved efficiency, disease management and reduced adverse drug events.
This study provides large-scale, independent, quantified proof of the impact
healthcare information technology can have.

record is going to need to move with them. The hand-held, computer-based system
guides home care clinicians through the entire patient care process. Clinicians
can use structured record guides
