The article, “Unintended Consequences of IT in Healthcare,” goes on to say that PCISs, or patient care information systems, will ultimately be a necessary component of health care system of high quality. However, in the mean time, there is enough complications that brings suspicions of fostering errors rather than reducing them. Furthermore, in some international situations PCIC applications actually weakens rather than strengthens health care quality.
The book goes on to suggest that this is brought on by transactions in an international environment. For example, the book points out that transactions across countries would make it easier for smaller organizations to reach out. Instead, organizations were caught up in lawful boundaries which seemingly proved to foster limitation errors rather than promote connectivity.
So, as time goes on, will PCICs become more developed and sophisticated such that they create solutions without creating errors, simultaneously?
