Computerized

From WikiMD.com - Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

Computerized refers to the use of computers to automate tasks, process data, and perform complex calculations. In the context of healthcare, computerized systems are used in a variety of applications, including electronic health records, computerized physician order entry, and computerized tomography.

Overview[edit | edit source]

Computerized systems in healthcare are designed to improve efficiency, reduce errors, and enhance patient care. They can be used to store and manage patient data, order tests and medications, and assist in diagnosis and treatment.

Electronic Health Records[edit | edit source]

Electronic health records (EHRs) are computerized systems that store patient health information. They can include a wide range of data, including patient demographics, medical history, test results, and medication information. EHRs can improve the quality of care by providing healthcare providers with comprehensive, up-to-date information about a patient's health.

Computerized Physician Order Entry[edit | edit source]

Computerized physician order entry (CPOE) is a process of electronic entry of medical practitioner instructions for the treatment of patients. This system can significantly reduce errors related to handwriting or transcription, and can also provide decision support for healthcare providers.

Computerized Tomography[edit | edit source]

Computerized tomography (CT) is a type of imaging technology that uses computers to create detailed images of the body. CT scans can provide more detailed information than traditional X-rays, and can be used to diagnose and monitor a wide range of health conditions.
