Description - Digital Medicine by Darrell M. West
Information technology has dramatically changed the way we live our lives in areas ranging from commerce and entertainment to voting. Now, policy advocates and government officials hope to bring the benefits of information technology to health care. Governments, hospitals, doctors, and pharmaceutical manufacturers have placed a tremendous amount of medical information, data,
and services online in recent years. Many consumers can visit health department
sites and compare performance data on health care providers. Some physicians encourage patients to use e-mail or web messaging as opposed to phone calls or in-office visits for simple medical issues. Increasingly, medical equipment and prescription drug manufacturers are making their products available online. Yet despite this growth in activity, the promise of “e-health” remains largely unfulfilled. Digital Medicine investigates the factors limiting the ability of digital technology to remake health care in the United States and around the world.
