Stimulating the growth and keen interest in e-Healthcare technology is the Medicare Prescription Act that mandates e-Prescribing by 2008 with the first deadline due date of 2005. "How to Implement Electronic Healthcare Technology to Improve Patient Care and Improve Your Bottom Line," a new executive-level tele-briefing sponsored by Health Resources Publishing, was held Thursday, November 18, 2004 at 1:30 PM Eastern (New Jersey) time. The healthcare industry has been experiencing tremendous activity in health information technology. Electronic medical records (EMRs) and ePrescribing systems promise higher quality and safety of patient care, and more cost and time-efficient healthcare delivery. The goal of this program is to show participants ways to implement e-healthcare technology to comply with the federal requirements mandated for the adoption of electronic health records, nationwide e-prescribing mandates, and other health information technology requirements. E-prescribing will become a critical tool as a result of the Medicare reform act. "The EMR will gain wider acceptance due to the e-prescribing push," one expert told MCIC. "The adoption of standards for EMRs will boost physician adoption." BACKGROUND: The National Health Information Infrastructure, created by President Bush in an Executive Order, is a 10-year initiative to transform healthcare delivery by building a new health information infrastructure, including electronic health records and a new network to link health records nationwide. As part of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) initiatives to promote the adoption of electronic health records and nationwide electronic drug prescribing, the agency plans to introduce an Internet-based portal for people with Medicare to access their claims information. The CMS effort aims to accelerate the e-prescribing timeline mandated by the Medicare Modernization Act of 2004 (MMA), and encourage the adoption of electronic health records (EHR) systems, particularly in physicians’ offices. The MMA provides that e-prescribing based on national standards be mandatory for drug plans participating in the new Medicare Part D prescription drug benefit by 2009, although CMS expects to require an initial set of well-established standards by January 2006 when the Medicare benefit begins. SPEAKER PANEL: Leo E. Cousineau, MD, Director of Medical Informatics, The Kevric Company Dr. Cousineau is pursuing a hands-free electronic health record (HFEHR) with the Kevric Company. He also serves as expert medical consultant for the Air force Medical Service for their implementation of a military-wide computerized patient records system (CPR) that will allow physicians to review and expand a patient’s total medical history from anywhere in the world.
