This chapter also explores the pros and cons of technology and provides tools to help determine when adoption will benefit healthcare providers, systems, and consumers. The author discusses operational effectiveness and efficiency, effective communication, team coordination, health outcomes, data collection and utilization, and risk management in this chapter.
