Blog Assignment 3 (Due: Feb 9, 11:59 PM): Search and find a healthcare service provider website that has information about how that service provider uses information technology to better their services. Post an entry onto your blog.

The company that I found is called Healthcare Providers Service Organization. This is a company that offers professional information to a wide array of healthcare and counseling professionals including: Counselors, Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists, Pharmacists, Fitness Professionals, and over 100 other healthcare professionals. The way that information technology betters their services is by having a website that allows you to navigate through all what they offer as a company. Also, by having an updated website it allows the user to search for a personal insurance plans in their state. If the website wasn't updated every so often, then this would pretty much go to waste. Another way that information technology betters their services is the security. Whenever you make an account as an user the http:// turns into https:// which allows security throughout the page. This make it difficult for hackers to sniff out their user name and password.
