“A commentary published by the Journal of the American Medical Association proposes ways in which the U.S. can affordably meet the needs and expectations of both the public and healthcare providers as an interconnected system of EHRs is developed at the national level.
In the commentary, Aviv Shachak, PhD, and Alejandro R. Jadad, MD, of the University of Toronto’s Department of Health Policy, Management and Evaluation provide ideas for U.S. health IT professionals and policymakers to consider as they work towards a cheaper and more efficient national healthcare system that utilizes more fully developed EHRs.”
