Physicians and nurses feel that patient care is improved and costs are lowered as a result of healthcare information technologies, according to a CDW Healthcare survey reported in Healthcare Finance News.

The ''Healthcare IT Tipping Point Report Survey,'' which included responses from physicians, nurses and HIT professionals, found that respondents believe HIT solutions are improving. Physicians and nurses cite the availability of more thorough information (85 percent), the accuracy of care delivered to patients (72 percent) and the ability to track follow-up care (68 percent) as top benefits. Nearly 40 percent of respondents feel that HIT enables them to maximize time spent with patients.
