SHELBYVILLE, Ind. – Few would question that dramatic change in the U.S. health care arena is well on the way. With billions of dollars on the table to fund systemic change in critical records management and other aspects of service delivery, what will American health care services look like a few years from now?
Health care reform champions have long complained that secure IT systems exist where consumers can pull out cash from an ATM anywhere in the world. That said, patients today often can’t so much as transfer from one clinical floor to the other without filling out multiple duplicate forms about their medical histories. In the past, some medical records have been lost, misplaced or misfiled too often sometimes with devastating results. http://ping.fm/nPHCT
