Integrating Health Information Technology into Hospital Management for Improved Patient Outcomes

Abstract

Health Information Technology (HIT) has transformed the way hospitals manage, deliver, and evaluate healthcare services. By integrating electronic systems into hospital management, healthcare organizations can enhance patient safety, improve efficiency, and optimize outcomes. This paper explores how HIT integration strengthens clinical decision-making, resource management, and communication between multidisciplinary teams. It also examines challenges such as data privacy, system interoperability, and staff training, proposing strategic solutions to overcome them. Ultimately, the effective use of HIT represents a critical pillar in achieving evidence-based, patient-centered care in modern healthcare systems.
