Research sponsored independently by Healthcare IT Transition Group and a national nonprofit organization is at the heart of the revealing analysis in Getting ROI from Health IT.
In a six-month research project, Healthcare IT Transition Group found strong evidence of investment returns from Electronic Medical Records (EMR), Computerized Physician Order Entry Systems (CPOE), Computerized Decision Support Systems (CDSS), Electronic Medication Administration Records (eMAR) and other health IT applications. The findings point to ways that these implementations can reduce costs and increase profits for small physician offices and group practices, as well as large health systems. In fact, investigators focused much of their efforts on physician practices. Not only are practices lowering costs and improving personnel satisfaction, but the evidence shows that many are boosting profits significantly.
But what is it about thesuccessful health IT projects that makes them work? By reviewing the evidence, with reviews from the field and the words of the physicians and administrators themselves, this analysis is designed to provide both the general concepts behind successful implementations, and some very specific pitfalls to avoid. The investigators present their findings from a deep review of the academic literature and through thirteen case studies of actual implementations in physician practices, hospitals and other settings reviewed in depth.
Unlike much of the available information on health IT economics, HITTG's electronic health records research was undertaken free from any potential influence from technology vendors or service companies. The analysis presented by Martin Jensen and Michael Christopher is a bold and refreshingly independent view of the HIT ROI landscape, offering actionable information to ease the health IT transition and help assure successful and economically attractive implementations in nonprofit and for-profit environments.
Among the topics covered:
"One of the few people in the industry who can truly be called a leader in thought."
~Michael Apfel, Truman Medical Centers
