Despite an anti-kickback EHR safe harbor and a Stark EHR exception to legal restrictions on certain types of physician-hospital collaborations, hospitals have remained reticent to establish shared EHRs with physicians. Technical conditions in the safe harbor, in particular, undermine its utility. Unresolved tax issues related to hospital donations of software and other items necessary to create such shared EHRs also pose a significant barrier.
尽管存在电子健康记录(EHR)反回扣安全港以及斯塔克法案(Stark)对某些类型医师 - 医院合作法律限制的EHR豁免,但医院在与医师建立共享电子健康记录方面仍保持沉默。特别是,安全港中的技术条件削弱了其效用。与医院捐赠创建此类共享电子健康记录所需的软件和其他物品相关的未解决税务问题也构成了重大障碍。
