GAO Addresses Barriers to E-Health Records

by on

HHS’s Efforts to Promote Health Information Technology and Legal Barriers to Its Adoption, GAO-04-991R, (PDF, 64 pages) August 13, 2004:

  • “Technologies such as electronic health records (EHR) and bar coding of certain human drug and biological product labels have been shown to save money and reduce medical errors. However, only a small number of U.S. health care providers have fully adopted health IT. Significant financial, technical, cultural, and legal barriers to the adoption of health IT exist.”
