The most relevant technological trend affecting health care organizations and physician services is the electronic health record (EHR). Billions of dollars from the federal government stimulus bill are available for investment toward EHR. Based on the government directives, it is evident EHR has to be a high-priority technological intervention in health care organizations. Addressed in the following pages are the effects of the EHR trend on financial and human resources; analysis of advantages and disadvantages of EHR; action steps involved in implementing EHR, and a timeline for implementation. Medical facilities that do not meet the timetable for using EHR will likely experience reduction of Medicare payments. This article also identifies the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of the EHR and steps to be taken by hospitals and physician medical groups to receive stimulus payment.
影响医疗保健机构和医生服务的最相关技术趋势是电子健康记录（EHR）。联邦政府刺激法案中有数十亿美元可用于对电子健康记录的投资。根据政府指令，显然电子健康记录必须成为医疗保健机构的一项高度优先的技术干预措施。以下各页将探讨电子健康记录趋势对财务和人力资源的影响；对电子健康记录优缺点的分析；实施电子健康记录所涉及的行动步骤以及实施时间表。未达到使用电子健康记录时间表的医疗机构可能会面临医疗保险支付减少的情况。本文还确定了电子健康记录的优势、劣势、机会和威胁，以及医院和医生医疗集团为获得刺激资金而应采取的步骤。
