Another option that has been suggested is differential payment scales depending on whether or not a technology such as computerized physician order entry is in use or not, which has been recommended by the Medicare Patient Advisory Commission [ 49].
Many studies evaluating the adoption of CIT consider implementation as a binary event; in other words a technology such as computerized provider order entry (CPOE) is introduced into a group of hospitals and these hospitals are then compared to hospitals without CPOE.
Productivity improvements in pharmacy services have been shown to be achievable through means such as investments in support staff (for example, pharmacist assistants) [ 27] or enhanced equipment or technology such as computerized order entries in hospital settings [ 31] and pre-packaging of medications [ 28, 29, 32].
We made use of modern technologies such as computerized telescopes that are easy to set up and automatically track the position of celestial objects during the night, requiring just basic knowledge of coordinate systems and objects in the night sky.
During the last decades neurosurgery has improved substantially thanks to the introduction of applied imaging technologies such as computerized tomography and magnetic resonance tomography, and new surgical modalities such as the microscope, brain navigation and neuroanesthesiology.
Central ratings and application of new assessment technologies, such as computerized data collection, may improve some aspects of data quality.
Improved diagnostic accuracy, due to modern imaging technologies such as computerized tomography (20 ), is unlikely to account for this increase.
Although new technology, such as automated computerized facilities for growing plant germplasm (13) and software for taking multiple computerized measurements of a specimen (14), may facilitate high-throughput phenotyping, the challenge of capturing phenotypic diversity data remains complex, expensive and error-prone.
For example, screening and follow-up measures, such as mammography and hemoglobin A1c (blood sugar) testing for diabetics, may both be increased by a general improvement in information technology, such as a computerized reminder program, despite differences in administration technique and patient populations".
Lozano-Hemmer has been exploring light, architecture and participant-driven interactive installations for over 20 years, making use and creative misuse of emerging technologies such as robotics, computerized surveillance and telematic networks.
An electronic filing project should demonstrate new efficiencies in court administration, and fully leverage investments in computerized back office technology such as case management systems to better serve internal users.
