D) Improved safety, improved efficiencies, significant reduction in costs for care, improved
st st st st st st st st st st st
protection of patient information st st st
Answer: B s t s t
Explanation: A) HIT can result in improved safety through measures such as positive patient ide
s t st st st st st st st st st st st st st
ntification and may improve efficiencies but clinician documentation burden is an issue seen with
st st st st st st st st st st st st st st
poorly designed and poorly used systems.
st st st st st
B) HIT can result in improved safety through positive patient identification, alerts, and similar
st st st st st st st st st st st st st
measures. HIT may improve some efficiencies such as improved charge capture and shortened r
st st st st st st st st st st st st st
evenue cycle and theoretically improves communication.

C) HIT can result in improved safety and improved efficiencies in some respects but despite safe
