“With the passage of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act last February, this is supposed to be the year healthcare providers start to adopt electronic health records en masse. But, says Computerworld, the EHR effort means “2010 could be the year telehealth technology finally allows doctors to monitor their patients’ health wirelessly in real time–no matter where the patient is.”
The magazine bases that conclusion in part on a recent report from Accenture that says consumer health electronics, predictive modeling and low-cost Internet connectivity to enable better decision making will transform chronic disease care. The story also quotes an Ingenix Consulting executive, who believes EHRs will drive growth in wireless monitoring technologies.”
