Technology Backfire

Posted December 31, 2010 3:00 PM

Paperless systems of electronic health records (EHRs) are designed to improve patient care and reduce costs. But computer errors and design flaws in EHRs can endanger patients: incorrect entries have been posted and some records have disappeared. Some call for increased regulation to strengthen safety. Does government have a role in regulating health information technology?

The preceding article is a "sneak peek" from Healthcare Engineering, a newsletter from GlobalSpec. To stay up-to-date and informed on industry trends, products, and technologies, subscribe to Healthcare Engineering today.

They sure can't regulate what angry nurses put in your records. Told one nurse to use gloves when touching me. She put I was extremely sensitive. Just down the hall was an isolated patient with skin disease all over his body and she was in and out of there all day.

But I am extremely senstive.
