Too Little Too Late?
A Commonwealth Fund report says that congressional proposals to boost health information technology do not go far enough to make appreciable difference in American health care. The proposals in question include those that died last year as well as the upcoming Wired for Health Care Quality Act of 2007.
The report says none of the health IT bills "would commit the funds and central leadership required to realize the potential benefits of a health information system." The solution, says the Commonwealth Fund, is more funding that is in line with the country's $3 trillion spend on healthcare.
