This week, our In Focus section comes from HMA Senior Consultant Matt McGeorge, of our IT Advisory Services (ITAS) team. HMA’s ITAS team is continuously tracking and assessing the impact of developments in the health care information technology industry that have the potential to be transformational by changing the way that health care services are managed and delivered. This is the second in a series of three In Focus briefs that elaborate on some of these developments. Our first ITAS Issue Brief, on Telehealth IT, is available here.
