Health systems are struggling with major financial headwinds that have shrunk already thin operating margins. IT can and must take a multi-pronged approach to help organizations pursue the Quadruple Aim -- reducing costs, improving population health and patient experience, and improving team well-being. First off, IT must look internally at its own budget to make sure any bloat is removed; secondly it must look throughout the organization to ensure deployed applications and other assets aren't duplicative or redundant; and finally it must analyze current paper-based workflows to determine if an infusion of technology can increase revenue by improving things like scheduling and, thus, throughput.
