4 External Motivation President Promotes Switching To Electronic Medical Records Bush Says Paperless System Would Cut Costs, Improve Care By Michael Fletcher Washington Post Staff Writer Friday, January 28, 2005; Page A07 CLEVELAND, Jan. 27 President Bush called on doctors and hospitals Thursday to move their medical records from paper to electronic files, a change that he said would improve medical care while shaving significant sums from the nation's spiraling health care bill. Speaking at the Cleveland Clinic, Bush quoted health analysts who said that the efficiencies wrought by electronic medical records could reduce medical costs as much as 20 percent. Electronic records can "help change medicine and save money and save lives," he said. 7 Obama Wants E Health Records In Five Years President elect says medical information on all Americans should be digitized by By K.C. Jones InformationWeek January 12, :53 PM President elect Barack Obama said he wants the federal government to invest in electronic health records so all medical records are digitized within five years. Obama announced the plans and the deadline during a speech at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va., on Thursday. "This will cut waste, eliminate red tape, and reduce the need to repeat expensive medical tests," he said, adding that the switch also would save lives by reducing the number of errors in medicine. Since President George W. Bush called for health records to be stored electronically by 2014, Obama's announcement confirms his administration's plans to continue pushing for that deadline. 8 4

5 Stimulus Bill To computerize their medical records, physicians and their practices stand to get $44,000 to $64,000 in incentives, and hospitals up to $11 million... With the federal government spending more than $600 billion annually on 80 million Americans through Medicare, Medicaid and other programs, that could prove a powerful incentive for providers to get on board. By Anita Huslin Washington Post Staff Writer Monday, February 16, 2009; Page D01 9 From Conception to Actuality February 2009, the HITECH Act (Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act is a provision of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). designed to encourage the widespread adoption of EHRs. Within the HITECH Act are guidelines of an incentive program outline which contain two distinct sections; certification of EHR technology and using the certified technology in a meaning way Meaningful Use. June 30, 2010, the Office of the National Coordinator (ONC) released the set of standards and certification criteria that software vendors must meet to support providers in achieving the meaningful use objectives. July 13, 2010, CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) and ONC announced the release of the anticipated final regulated objectives that eligible providers, eligible hospitals, and critical access hospitals must achieve. August 2010, first of six ONC ATCB s announced 10 5

6 Why Health IT? Health information technology (health IT) makes it possible for health care providers to better manage patient care through secure use and sharing of health information. Health IT includes the use of electronic health records (EHRs) instead of paper medical records to maintain patient s health information. Improving Patient Care With the help of health IT, providers will have: Accurate and complete information about a patient's health. The ability to better coordinate the care they give. A way to securely share information with patients and their family caregivers. Information to help doctors diagnose health problems sooner, reduce medical errors, and provide safer care at lower costs. Improving Our Nation's Health Care Delivery System Widespread use of health IT can also: Make our health care system more efficient and reduce paperwork for patients and doctors. Expand access to affordable care. Build a healthier future for our nation. 11 Demystifying Meaningful Use 12 6
