An unprecedented federal effort is under way to boost the adoption of electronic health records and spur innovation in health care delivery. We reviewed the recent literature on health information technology to determine its effect on outcomes, including quality, efficiency, and provider satisfaction. We found that 92 percent of the recent articles on health information technology reached conclusions that were positive overall. We also found that the benefits of the technology are beginning to emerge in smaller practices and organizations, as well as in large organizations that were early adopters. However, dissatisfaction with electronic health records among some providers remains a problem and a barrier to achieving the potential of health information technology. These realities highlight the need for studies that document the challenging aspects of implementing health information technology more specifically and how these challenges might be addressed.
一场前所未有的联邦行动正在进行，以推动电子健康记录的采用，并推动医疗服务的创新。我们回顾了最近关于健康信息技术的文献，以确定其对包括质量、效率和提供者满意度在内的结果的影响。我们发现，最近 92%的关于健康信息技术的文章得出了总体上积极的结论。我们还发现，该技术的好处开始在较小的实践和组织中显现，以及在早期采用者的大型组织中显现。然而，一些提供者对电子健康记录的不满仍然是一个问题，也是实现健康信息技术潜力的一个障碍。这些现实情况突出表明，需要进行研究，更具体地记录实施健康信息技术的具有挑战性的方面，以及如何解决这些挑战。
