Health Information Technology (HIT) is preceded by (Antecedents) the hardware and software, multiple patient data available, data standards and terminology, policies and procedures, privacy and security, informatics workforce, and organizational skills. Data standards and terminology ensure standardization of the Electronic Health Record (EHR) for patient information. Policies and procedures that guide the use of HIT include meaningful use, patient privacy and security. Informatics workforce consists of informatics specialists who combine their knowledge of healthcare and informatics to design information and communication systems to promote patient health and safety. These people use organizational skills to manage healthcare workers in using information technologies. The attributes which measure that Health Information Technology is optimally in place are technology and information which is used to support clinical judgment, error prevention and care coordination. Interrelated concepts, which impact HIT and HIT impacts, are Communication, Health Policy, Teamwork and Collaboration, and Patient-Centered Care. Sub concepts are nursing informatics, health information exchange, meaningful use and the electronic health record (EHR). Positive consequences which may occur when HIT optimally exists are continuity of care, support of practice, confidentiality, information transferability, accurate information at point of care, and reduction in practice errors. When there is a malfunction within HIT negative outcomes may occur which include documentation errors (sentinel event and errors in patient care), breaches in confidentiality and inaccurate decisions. ................
