“…H[b]IT stands today at the forefront of development and innovation in new technologies in hardware (e.g., increased size capacity of servers to store bioinformation; faster and more reliable provider point of entry technologies), in software (e.g., improved electronic health record software for the collection, storage and retrieval of patient information, medical histories, laboratory and imaging data, clinical diagnoses and prognostic observations), and in improved advanced health (bio)information informatics (i.e., synthesis of the research evidence pertaining to the patient's condition into the consensus of the best available evidence).
