  • Title: The future of health information technology in the patient-centered medical home.
    Author: Bates DW, Bitton A.
    Journal: Health Aff (Millwood); 2010 Apr; 29(4):614-21. PubMed ID: 20368590.
    Abstract:
    Most electronic health records today need further development of features that patient-centered medical homes require to improve their efficiency, quality, and safety. We propose a road map of the domains that need to be addressed to achieve these results. We believe that the development of electronic health records will be critical in seven major areas: telehealth, measurement of quality and efficiency, care transitions, personal health records, and, most important, registries, team care, and clinical decision support for chronic diseases. To encourage this development, policy makers should include medical homes in emerging electronic health record regulations. Additionally, more research is needed to learn how these records can enhance team care.
