  • Title: Policy and system strategies in promoting child health information systems, including the role of Medicaid, the state children's health insurance program, and public financing.
    Author: MacTaggart P, Bagley B.
    Journal: Pediatrics; 2009 Jan; 123 Suppl 2():S111-5. PubMed ID: 19088226.
    Abstract:
    Government, through its unique roles as regulator, purchaser, provider, and facilitator, has an opportunity and an obligation to play a major role in accelerating the implementation of electronic health record systems and electronic health information exchange. Providers, who are expected to deliver appropriate care at designated locations at an appropriate cost, are dependent on health information technology for efficient effective health care. As state and federal governments move forward with health care purchasing reforms, they must take the opportunity to leverage policy and structure and to align incentives that enhance the potential for provider engagement in electronic health record adoption.
