Presentation Type: Panel
EHRs in 2024: How to align incentives to improve EHRs
Presentation Time: 03:30 PM - 05:00 PM
Abstract Keywords: Legal, Ethical, Social and Regulatory Issues, Healthcare Economics/Cost of Care, Patient Safety, Evaluation
Primary Track: Policy
Programmatic Theme: Clinical Informatics
Despite broad adoption of EHRs and their many benefits, many clinicians are dissatisfied with EHRs and they contribute to clinician burnout, early retirement, and reduction in clinical time. At a time when EHR improvements are needed most, many feel that the steady flow of bright ideas and innovation we experienced in the past with early EHRs has diminished. Are we satisfied with this state, and if not, what can we do to correct it? We argue that the history and current state of EHRs in the United States can be explained by incentives to the various participants in healthcare: institutions, payers/employers, patients, physicians/providers and government, exerting their influence (or not) on vendors who respond to the demands of their customers. Panelists will discuss their perspectives on what can and should be done to improve EHRs in use today from the perspective of changing incentives to healthcare participants.
