Technology transforms the way health care functions, and it is the major contributor in advancing quality care and reduce errors That might potentially occur when caring for patients. Also, information technology on health care has shown significant progress in digitizing medical/patient records, such as Electronic Medical Records (EMRs). Laboratories, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies and other organizations treatments depend on their stored information (databases system). These organizations use database systems to improve and facilitate the medical care. The federal government has expedited the move toward transparency by making decades of stored data usable, searchable, and actionable by the healthcare sector (Groves, Kayyali, Knott, Van Kuiken, 2013). The future of healthcare depends on our ability to use the massive amounts of data. The

The IOM report on To Err is Human intent was to improve quality Health Care in America (Donaldson, .....). IOM recognizes that errors that result from system failures can be preventable. " In the Article Reducing the frequency of errors in medicine using information technology" The IOM report includes the errors that result from system failures are large and will require concerted national effort and major system changes to improve patient safety. Part of the report is to bring all types of healthcare sectors, whether a hospital, nursing home, pharmacies or primary care to have a well-designed process of care prevent and to recover quickly from errors that lead to patient harm/death (Dadaldson....). The requirement of the technological contribution in large to this idea is certain. Since the IOM report, technology improvement has overcome many obstacles and assisted healthcare industries to give better quality and advanced care. However, these improvements in technology not enough to bring the required level of quality health
