: LawTechTVEHR & HITECH/HIPAA: Mother of Wicked Problems: Part V
The governance issues related to HITECH/HIPAA compliance were discussed in Governance Under HITECH/HIPAA: Two Types of Risk?
By far, the business risks associated with non-compliance will completely overshadow the compliance risks, despite the fact that the HITECH Act has completely transformed the latter from a paper tiger into an electronic beast.
The fact of the matter is that effective delivery of competitively priced, high quality care, will require a convergence of healthcare delivery strategy, information technology strategy and compliance strategy. Treating any one of these components as a separate silo will lead to sub-optimization and likely to an overall failed approach. Board members and the executive team have no alternative but to engage.
