- First off.. its no longer called EMR.. its called EHR.. and oh the holes
-
HIPAA is not the reason EHR is not being adopted quicker. Its money. Many of the software EHRs already have built in encryption for communication(no external devices needed!) and secondly HIPAA, if you have even read the law doesnt even state what type of security you need. Yes this does cause some confusion in the adoption process, but anyone actually looking into an EHR system will find out quickly that the majority of the EHR ( and all of the major ones ) have built in protection.
Adoption right now comes down to two things:
-Providers not wanting to or unable to learn new technology.
-Providers and provider based organizations not wanting to put out the funds to enable an EHR system in their organization.
The first reason will be an issue, the second is being handled though. Some EHR systems are offering hosted services with full support for less cost than hosting it internally. The goverment is offering grants to help subsidize cost
Finally, organizations like JACHO and some goverment entities are forcing requirements that basically require an EHR to meet.
Yet again.. facts need to be straightened out before reporting on them. - Posted by: Been_Done_Before Posted on: 05/18/09 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
