Potential Savings from Using Information Technology Applications in Health Care in the United States

We reviewed economic evaluations of information technology (IT) applications in health care in the United States. National estimates suggest that fully automating administrative functions would save the system $5 to $8 billion per year. Hospital-specific estimates suggest that individual facilities could save $0.5 to $3 million annually from various clinical IT applications.
