Information Technology has become an essential element in transforming healthcare systems both globally and in the Philippines. It enhances the quality of care, improves patient safety, supports clinical decision-making, and expands access—especially through innovations like electronic medical records, telemedicine, and mobile health tools. In the Philippine setting, IT in healthcare is helping bridge gaps in rural care, streamline documentation, and support national health programs..
As Dr. David Blumenthal stated, “The application of information technology in healthcare is not a luxury—it is a necessity for improving quality and safety.”.
