Investing in health information infrastructure: can it help achieve health reform?
Health Aff (Millwood).
2009 Mar-Apr.
Abstract
Health care reform has reemerged as a policy imperative. Congressional discussions regarding sizable federal investments in health information technology (IT) infrastructure have revitalized the vision of health IT as a critical component of accelerating improvements in the quality and value of health care for all Americans. Policymakers will be challenged to link investments in the health information infrastructure to the objectives of health care reform. The purpose of this paper is to articulate some near- and long-term steps that increase the likelihood of achieving high-value health care with the aid of health IT.
