AB Development  of  data  integration  platforms,  Clinical  Decision  Support  Systems  (CDSS),  telemedicine,  and  mobile  computing  applications  are  rapidly  changing  the  acute  hospital  environment.The  widespread  adoption  of  health  information  technology  (HIT)  is  being  actively  promoted  as  a  tool  to  facilitate  quality  and  safety  of  health  care.High  cost,  indiscriminate  data  presentation,  information  overload,  and  a  lack  of  human  factor  consideration  present  significant  barriers  to  wider  HIT  adoption.Although  HIT  adoption  improved  some  elements  of  quality  and  safety,  there  is  currently  little  evidence  to  prove  that  HIT  adoption  is  associated  with  improved  patient-centered  outcomes.To  get  the  most  from  the  digitalization  of  the  ICU  environment,  an  integrated  and  multidisciplinary  approach  is  required.  Medical  informatics  and  human  factor  engineering  provide  a  core  methodology  and  tools  for  meaningful  use  of  HIT  to  optimize  quality  and  safety  of  critical  care  delivery
