“The proposed rules released by the Dept. of Health and Human Services for achieving meaningful use from EHRs incorporates recommendations made by proponents of information therapy.
That information therapy is included is not so much a reflection of the successful lobbying by advocates as much as it is an affirmation of HHS’ belief that the patient is the center of the drive for improved quality of care. If you look at the list of criteria for eligible hospitals and providers, the targets all support the use of health IT to ensure patients’ quality of care.”
