Are Doctors or Data Profiteers Right on EHRs Congress, the FDA, industry groups and researchers agree that computerized medical records need little federal regulation. But public comments from physician and nursing groups say there are serious patient safety issues that need to be addressed. Nurses want the federal mandate for “meaningful use” of computerized medical records, and its associated penalties, to be stopped until government proves that computerized medical records are safe. Doctors want surveillance of medical errors and injuries due to computerized medical records and a commitment to avert patient injury. Who do you think is right? The ones profiting off your data or the ones taking care of patients every day? SOURCE: “Industry pleased with direction of health IT rules,” Arthur Allen, POLITICO Pro, July 10, 2014.
