PowerPoint Presentation: Health Information Technology to Address the Continuum of Care

Innovative adoption of technology has enabled dramatic change in many sectors of the economy at a national and international level. When we examine industries such as retail, travel, and financial services we see entirely new models of service delivery enabled by information technology. As leaders of social change in the health industry, you have the opportunity to learn from these practices and enable transformation in health settings. This week allows you to investigate these theories and proven practices in other industries and discuss how these practices can be applied in health care.

Once choosing a scenario from the Learning Resources you will develop a PowerPoint presentation to provide an overview of how information technology will address issues in that organization(s)/setting.
