Landmark IOM Reports: Summary
• Humans are not perfect and are bound to make errors
• High‐light problems in the U.S. health care system that systematically contributes to medical errors and poor quality
• Recommends reform that would change how health care works and how technology innovations can help improve quality/safety
![Page 23: Overview of Health IT](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051608/54581ffeaf795994188b5317/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Why We Need Health IT
• Health care is very complex (and inefficient)• Health care is information‐rich• Quality of care depends on timely availability & quality of information
• Clinical knowledge body is too large to be in any clinician’s brain, and the short time during a visit makes it worse
• “To err is human”• Practice guidelines are put “on‐the‐shelf”

44
Efficiency
• Fast/lean/efficient processes of care– Automation ‐> faster care, fewer workers– Process redesigns/reengineering (e.g. parallel processes/access)– Changes in role assignments ‐> productivity gains or more time for patient
• Predictable patterns/“Just‐in‐time” (staffing, resource allocation, inventory, bed management)
• Flexibility “Organizational slacks” (buffers)
• Drug‐formulary checks & policy enforcement• Reduction of redundant tests• Efficient management of bed occupancy/hospital capacity• Cost‐savings & time‐savings from preventable errors• Space‐savings (e.g. medical records, PACS)• Effective communications

46
Equity
• Reduction of barriers to care, improved access to care– Physical barriers (telemedicine, tele‐consultation)– Structural barriers (information exchange among hospitals)
– Functional barriers (information access by patients, networks of patients)
– Cultural barriers (tailored information for different patients)
![Page 47: Overview of Health IT](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051608/54581ffeaf795994188b5317/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)

But...• “Don’t implement technology just for technology’s sake.”
• “Don’t make use of excellent technology. Make excellent use of technology.”(Tangwongsan, Supachai. Personal communication, 2005.)
• “Health care IT is not a panacea for all that ails medicine.” (Hersh, 2004)
• “We worry, however, that [electronic records] are being touted as a panacea for nearly all the ills of modern medicine.”(Hartzband & Groopman, 2008)
