• 2004 State of the Union Address
– President Bush called for electronic health records for most Americans within 10 years. In an executive order, he created the new Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology within the Department of Health & Human Services (HHS)
– May 2004, David Brailer, M.D., Ph.D., was appointed as the first national health IT coordinator for ONCHIT

The Need of Health IT• Lack of flow in health care IT:
– Access to info: 30% of time, physicians can’t find the info in previous paper chart
– Duplicate testing: drugs or tests ordered 11% of time, with patients complying 50% of time
– Incomplete info: MDs not aware 1 of 4 Rx that a patient had been given
– Uncertainty & repeat: 1 of 5 labs were ordered because of retrieval barriers
• Interoperability/connectivity: the crucial key! – EMR adoption is great, but we must be able to connect and
communicate(not EMR silos)
– Regional Health Information Organizations (RHIO)– Standards, standards, standards…

Economic Impact of EMR System
"Dr. Thomas Trieu of Ocean Springs, MS, scatters soggy charts from his water logged medical practice. His office received major damage and he doesn't know when he will be able to resume his practice." - J.D. Schwalm

• Technology has caught up & can be integrated in clinical work
• The question is no longer why for EMR, but how to implement and at what speed
• Most importantly, the business case for providers to invest in EMR systems
• Health care, as an industry, spends many resources on managing information, but not on utilizing technology for information
The Business Case for EMRs

Clinician Comments• “Electronic charting is not totally horrible.” - RN• “Prepare all MDs prior to installation.” - RN• “Program is terrible, repetitive, very time
consuming & inaccurate. You could make it much better with a different program. Any ER MD could improve this program.” - MD
• “Remove it! Start over!” – MD• “Take is out would be the most improvement. It
has formed me into a secretary typist. I did not train for that” - MD
• “Although it still has kinks, I would give it a 9/10. An additional terminal in dictation room would be nice” - MD
