Ending the Document Game: Connecting and Transforming Your Healthcare through Information Technology

摘要

This report is all about people and using computers to connect them and their healthcare information. It is a report about how we get consumers and clinicians to use these tools, how we pay for them, and what we want the computers to do. But computers are only a tool, a means to an end. We have focused this report on computers because they seem to be the best tool--and maybe the only tool--that will allow the nation to change the way healthcare works. While this report is about computers and the information they manage, make no mistake: it is a report for people--for Americans who want and need better and more efficient care, for policy makers and political leaders who are seeking ways to help improve care delivery, and for providers and staff who want to give Americans the best healthcare possible.
