Quality, Safety and Meaningful Use in Healthcare Technology: A Message from ONC
Sunday, February 28, 8:45 AM - 9:45 AM While American medicine has been at the confluence of pressures to improve the quality and safety of care, the introduction of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) offered a renewed call for the integration of information technology in all aspects of health care delivery. Many clinicians are uncertain about the relationship of these two national program initiatives--to improve quality and promote the adoption, and meaningful use, of health information technology. We will examine current national health care policy in both quality/safety and information technology with the expectation of describing one improvement path for institutions and individuals with performance expectations in both domains.
