Healthcare IT lacks reliable foundation for computerized medical records, survey says
Inadequate focus on reliable IT infrastructures will hobble healthcare organizations’ efforts to automate critical operations to improve patient care while cutting costs, according to a commissioned study of 102 U.S. healthcare IT professionals conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of Stratus Technologies. “Server Availability Trends in the Time of Electronic Health Records: What the Move to Paperless Medical Records Means for Server Reliability” finds that, despite debate on the rate of growth or barriers to adoption, EHRs are growing and here to stay. This is transforming the role of IT – and the IT organization – from supporting administrative processes to supporting patient care.
