Healthcare IT Effectivness
Posted on September 23rd, 2009 No commentsDr. Bumenthal’s latest thoughts on the need for more research on the effectivness of healthcare IT. Unfortunately, its a catch 22. Many CEOs/CIOS won’t invest in healthcare IT until more solid ROI numbers are available; but until we place healthcare IT into production, its difficult to measure its impact on outcomes. Some effectiveness can be tested in the lab, and through Congressional Special Interest Projects and SBIRS overseen by U.S. Årmy TATRC and others.
