Usability - products are hard to use and not well engineered for clinician workflow. 9. Politics/naysayers - every organization has a powerful clinician or administrator who is convinced that EHRs will cause harm, disruption, and budget disasters. 8. Fear of lost productivity - clinicians are concerned they will lose 25% of their productivity for 3 months after implementation. Administrators are worried that the clinicians are right. 7. Computer Illiteracy/training - many clinicians are not comfortable with technology. They are often reluctant to attend training sessions. 6. Interoperability - applications do not seamlessly exchange data for coordination of care, performance reporting, and public health. 5. Privacy - there is significant local variation in privacy policy and consent management strategies/ 4. Infrastructure/IT reliability - many IT departments cannot provide reliable computing and storage support, leading to EHR downtime. 3. Vendor product selection/suitability - it's hard to know what product to choose, particularly for specialists who have unique workflow needs 2. Cost - the stimulus money does not flow until meaningful use is achieved. Who will pay in the meantime? 1. People - it's hard to get sponsorship from senior leaders, find clinician champions, and hire the trained workers to get the EHR rollout done.

HIT situation in China HMIS were accepted by most of hospital, that can improve efficient, control expense. Clinical information systems begin to been accepted by most of the hospital, the EMR begin to be accepted. The information sharing between more then one hospital with RHIN was kicking off. 19 But the challenges in front of 1. Leadership and management Harmonization of various stockholders Constitute Laws/Regulations/Policies 2. Investment What is the public goods for HIT Investing return for information sharing 3. Technologies Lack of Health Information Standard Lack of Correct Methodologies What is the new generation interoperable infrastructure? 4. Lacking of High Quality Human Resource Education Quality Team Organization 20
3. Where we go? The Guideline on Deepening the Reform of Health Care System vision: the government will establish a practical and shared medical information system Guidelines for the Healthcare System Reform of 2009-2011 (2009 2011) Guidelines for the Pilots Public Hospital Reform EMR-RHIO 21 HIT in national next 5 years plan strength grass root HIT; Telemedicine hospital information 22
Recent task for HIT Blueprint : National HIT strategy plan in the next 5 years, object, milestone, task; Information standard infrastructure, information privilege and safety infrastructure; Pilot of RHIO based on Resident Health Record and EMR Information system of M & E for health care reform 23 The HIT project in 2010 The budget from central government is about 2.7 billion Yuan for HIT adoption. 1. Information exchange center in 5 pilot province for the information sharing and cooperation for health care, public health, health management 2. To support government hospital reform with HIT in 16 cities; 3. HIT adoption in rural area, support 0.43 million village clinic; 4. To strengthen 2130 county hospital PACS or HIS, 5. Telemedicine pilot project in 12 west province. 24
