Abstract

The following article is based on the study of Information Technology and its levels of application and operability in Medicare centers as is obtainable in two countries, namely India and Iran. The study hopes to throw light on the present situation and level of implementation of IT in the two countries with the ultimate aim of improving healthcare delivery systems. It should be obvious that healthcare management is an information intensive task and IT is the buzzword of the present century. It should also be obvious that application of IT could benefit the management of healthcare in a way that could not have been imagined some time ago. This kind of study is therefore a must. The study throws up some interesting hypothesis based on the questionnaire and the data collected thereupon.
