CAMBRIDGE, Mass., March 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Health care IT has dramatically increased over the past 15 years. Fewer than 10% of hospitals (and fewer than 20% of doctors) were using electronic health records prior to the 2009 Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical (HITECH) Act, which allocated $30 billion to increase the adoption of health IT. By 2014, 97% of reporting hospitals had electronic health record technology. Despite this high level of investment and adoption of technology, the actual use of the data and resulting improvements to health care quality and productivity have been limited.

Key Points: 
  • Despite this high level of investment and adoption of technology, the actual use of the data and resulting improvements to health care quality and productivity have been limited.
  • The research finds policies in the category related to data protection most affect health information sharing the most.
