Question

12. Which are the different areas of healthcare where IT is used? And how?

Answer 1

✷Primary care is often used as the term for the health care services that play a role in the local community.

• Hospitals may have acute services such as an emergency department or specialist trauma center, burn unit, surgery, or urgent care. These may then be backed up by more specialist units such as cardiology or coronary care unit, intensive care unit, neurology, cancer center, and obstetrics and gynecology.
