Only in the past fifteen years has the emphasis shifted from applying computer technology to hospital administration, to applying technology to the clinical process. The use of computers in health care began to emerge in the early 1970s. The initial use of computers focused on computerizing the administrative process. Health care automation was quite limited for the first 10 years because of the insufficient file capacities of most systems. The last half of the 1980s and early ’90s was when the industry began to see integrated systems become commonplace. During the mid-1990 was when computers started being integrated into the clinical process. History in Health Care
