Information and communication technology (ict) informs effective practice and has fostered technological development in support of patient care. It includes patient scheduling and transfer, billing and financial management, diagnostic imaging, lab reporting, order entry applications, pharmacy, patient documentation systems, clinical support tools, remote consultation and triage, as well as resource management applications.
