Information Technology (IT) has fundamentally transformed Health Information Management (HIM), driving efficiency, security, and patient-centered care in healthcare. The emergence of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) enabled real-time access, storage, and utilization of health data, leading to improved coordination among healthcare providers and reducing medical errors. The article explores how IT facilitates big data analytics and health analytics, allowing for predictive healthcare and personalized patient treatment. Furthermore, the integration of IT has spurred the growth of telemedicine, providing essential healthcare access during situations like the global pandemic, while simultaneously enhancing cybersecurity to protect sensitive health data. The adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) in healthcare has expedited diagnosis, treatment planning, and administrative tasks, further optimizing healthcare delivery. Significantly, IT has empowered patients, granting them easier access to their health records and fostering proactive health management. However, challenges persist, including data privacy concerns and the digital divide, necessitating careful consideration and action. As IT and HIM continue to intertwine, emerging technologies like blockchain, augmented reality, and virtual reality are set to redefine healthcare’s future landscape, promising a more efficient, inclusive, and patient-focused approach.
