Why Adopting Health IT?
“To Computerize”“To Go paperless”
“Digital Hospital”
“To Modernize”
“To Get a HIS”
“To Have EMRs”
“To Share data”

“Don’t implement technology just for technology’s sake.”
“Don’t make use of excellent technology. Make excellent use of technology.”(Tangwongsan, Supachai. Personal communication, 2005.)
“Health care IT is not a panacea for all that ails medicine.” (Hersh, 2004)

25
Humans are not perfect and are bound to make errors
Highlight problems in the U.S. health care system that systematically contributes to medical errors and poor quality
Recommends reform that would change how health care works and how technology innovations can help improve quality/safety
Landmark IOM Reports: Summary
26
Health care is very complex (and inefficient) Health care is information‐rich Quality of care depends on timely availability & quality of information
Clinical knowledge body is too large Short time during a visit Practice guidelines are put “on‐the‐shelf” “To err is human”
Why We Need Health IT

It already happens....(Mamede et al., 2010; Croskerry, 2003; Klein, 2005)

Adoption of Health IT: Assumptions
Adoption Use Outcomes
32
“...We will make wider use of electronic records and other health information technology, to help control
costs and reduce dangerous medical errors.”
U.S.’s Efforts on Health IT Adoption

President George W. BushSixth State of the Union Address, January 31, 2006
?
33
U.S. Adoption of Health IT
• U.S. lags behind other Western countries (Schoen et al, 2006;Jha et al, 2008)
• Money and misalignment of benefits is the biggest reason
Ambulatory (Hsiao et al, 2009) Hospitals (Jha et al, 2010)
Basic EHRs w/ notes 9.2%Comprehensive EHRs 2.7%CPOE for medications 34%
34
We Need “Change”
“...we need to upgrade our medical records by switching from a paper to an electronic system of record keeping...”
President Barack ObamaJune 15, 2009
35
“...Our recovery plan will invest in electronic health records and new technology
that will reduce errors, bring down costs, ensure privacy, and save lives.”
President Barack ObamaAddress to Joint Session of Congress

“Meaningful Use” of Health IT
Stage 1‐ Electronic capture of health information‐ Information sharing‐ Data reporting
Stage 2
Use of EHRsto improve processes of care
Stage 3
Use of EHRs to improve outcomes
Better Health
