How has healthcare IT transformed the way treatment procedures are carried out inIndia? What transformations are expected in next five years?

Information systems currently being used in healthcare environment in India can be broadly categorised into three types. Firstly, composed of systems that are limited in objective and scope for instance Laboratory Information System, Radiology Information System, and Financial Information System. Secondly, information system is composed of HIS; this consists of communication network, a clinical component and a financial/administrative component and this integrates the three major parts into a cohesive information system. Thirdly, information system, enterprise health information system is expanding in health environment. Such system captures and stores comprehensive patient information across the entire continuum of care in health organisations using integrated healthcare delivery model.
