There have been different regulatory issues that have put a burden on doctors and their patients. Recently, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued a report on how to ease those burdens. Within the report HHS provides examples of these burdens as well as strategies and recommendations on how to eliminate or ease these burdens through the use of health information technology (health IT).
The three main goals of this report is to:
- Reduce the amount of effort and time it takes to record information in EHRs for health care professionals;
- Reduce the amount of effort and time it takes to meet regulatory reporting requirements for health care professionals and health care entities; and
- Ease the overall use of EHRs
