continually looking for ways to reduce administrative work so that they
can concentrate on the "business of providing care". "Integrating
hospital systems" to enable an "electronic medical record"-

clinical errors" and "save administrative costs".

paperwork, avoiding medical errors.

ability to measure its effectiveness and optimize the delivery of "healthcare
services".
