Medicare Is Faulted on Shift to Electronic Records
http://t.co/SQ1uowq1
"But the report says Medicare, which is charged with managing the
incentive program that encourages the adoption of electronic records,
has failed to put in place adequate safeguards to ensure that
information being provided by hospitals and doctors about their
electronic records systems is accurate. To qualify for the incentive
payments, doctors and hospitals must demonstrate that the systems lead
to better patient care, meeting a so-called meaningful use standard
by, for example, checking for harmful drug interactions."
