Rewriting the script: Setting the electronic health record straight

Speakers:

About this Session:

Come on down and jump into the HLTH Europe time machine, as we head back to 1968. Humans are yet to set foot on the moon. The Beatles’ Hey Jude has just done a record nine weeks on the top of the charts. Charles de Gaulle is coming to the end of 10 years in power. Oh, and the first EHR has launched. Those first punch cards spawned an industry worth $28 billion today. We may have switched gears from the old problem-oriented records to subjective, objective, assessment, and plan (SOAP) notes, but even as the industry trundles along, the complete potential of EHRs remains a mystery for medical professionals, patients, and health systems. With more data available than ever before, functionality requests coming in faster than the industry can process, and ever-increasing demand on systems often built decades ago, how do we set the EHR straight?
