Computer Technology Really Does Improve Patient Care

February 6, 2009

Health Info Technology Saves Lists, Costs: Study | news.yahoo.com

Information technology in healthcare saves lives if it is frequently used by doctors for medical practice.  Scientific papers in the past have suggested that information technology saves lives by preventing medication errors but this paper suggests that the way doctors practice medicine may be modified to saves lives as well.

Why hasn't EHR been adopted faster

November 26, 2008

Survey: Hospital EHR Adoption Rate is Below 12% | www.govhealthit.com

The lack of a comprehensive EHR implementation suggests that we are failing at our goal of improving the healthcare system.  While the article highlights many problems, very few solutions are offered to remedy this part of our healthcare crises. The key implications are: 1. The adoption rate of electronic health records in nonfederal U.S. hospitals is low 2. The percentage of these electronic record systems may be classified as "fully functional is low 3. The companies that can fill the enormous gaps in adoption have laid the foundation for future adoption.
