New Laws for Electronic Medical Records?

ADVERTISEMENTS
HealthBlog : Electronic Medical Records--just part of needed transformation. The Obama administration is apparently putting a stake in ground with respect to electronic medical records (EMRs). This is a welcome development but not surprising since there is widespread consensus that providers cannot begin to compete based on outcomes until EMR's are in place. Until then we are left with the archaic fee for service payment structure (see this post).

It should be clear that the only way EMRs will be implemented industry wide is through sweeping legislation that encompasses both technology initiatives as well as privacy concerns. You can also expect some government incentives to small primary care providers that are on the front lines and will need economic assistance to achieve the objective. There will be more than a few naysayers but this investment must be made, without getting primary care provider "onboard" we cannot hope to make much progress.
