One of the ways, how to improve the quality of patient care is hidden in modern information technologies. They can increase the timeliness and accuracy of patient care. Their impact should be assessed from several perspectives: the quality and availability of medical information, quality of diagnostic decisions and health care services. On the one hand, information technologies have a potential to improve health care quality, safety and patient satisfaction, but, on the other hand, require financial investment. Every investment project needs to specify its goals and measurable benefits. Indirect costs which are difficult to measure might be challenging in the evaluation of financial investment. Healthcare information technologies can improve the quality of health care, support treatment and consequently contribute to patients' health. Examples of such systems are patient monitoring technologies. The benefits of these technologies are for the patient, health care facility and personnel. They decrease the number of personnel and errors. These devices can provide information directly to a healthcare information system. Considering all of the above, this paper aims to present a procedure of how to measure the benefits of non-standard healthcare systems. Based on statistically proven facts, we identify problems that can eliminate financial investment in non-standard healthcare systems. These investments are balanced by the benefits to both the medical staff and patients.
