Computerized Medical Records: Report of Findings
The final project required us to research, present, and write about a controversial information technological/ social issue. For this we chose Computerized Medical Records: CMR, EMR, EHR; all are a different abbreviation for the same topic. It was my duty to write the socio-technical analysis of the final deliverable and present the findings I made through this blog.
"The American Health Information Community (the Community) recommended that Electronic Health Records (EHR) adoption be its top priority."
The American Health Information Community was chartered in 2005 as a federal advisory body that would make recommendations to the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. This community was formed in response to President Bush’s goal to create accessible EHR to the American people by 2014. Subsequently, AHIC has recommended that EHR adoption be its top priority.
It is estimated that EHR systems increase overall efficiency by 6% per year.
Like any IT system, there is a large risk of information loss. It happens to the Fed too believe it or not.
Laws are made that enforce security and privacy policy, like this one.
This is an aggregation of most of the facts I have found throughout my research.
Happy summer everybody!
