Looking into the health care operation now compared to 20 years ago, many changes have been implemented within health care information systems. Twenty years ago we did not have the technology we do today to promote safe and effective patient care. Many patients are living longer and healthier because of information systems that continue to analyze and exchange data on a daily basis. Understanding Health Information Technology (HIT) will promote a safe, patient-focused and proficient patient care. This paper will compare/contrast a nursing facility operation the same 20 years prior, examine information systems within the work place, analyze how data was used 20 years ago compared today, and lastly will cove two major events and technological advantages that have influenced current Health Care Information system (HCIS) practices.
Compare/Contrast
In order to compare and contrast a skilled nursing facility in the last 20 years, he or she must first understand what HCIS intel’s.

Comparing and contrasting ManorCare in Minot ND, significant changes have been made over the last 20 years. Comparing ManorCare skilled nursing facility to 20 years ago, the facility still has to implement the rules, regulations, standards, procedures, and privacy in order to provide quality patient care.
