Creating the EHR of the future
Using Computers to Decrease Workload and Improve Quality
Israeli Association for Medical Informatics
The EHR has tremendous promise as a means of decreasing workload, decreasing cost and
improving quality of care
EHR HIT has tremendous promise as a means of decreasing workload, decreasing cost and
improving quality of care
EHR and productivity varies by specialty100 internists, pediatricians and family practitioners
• 25 to 33 percent drop in MD productivity
• Over time
– Internists slightly above original productivity
– Pediatricians /family practitioners never recovered
Hemant Bhargava, UC Davis Graduate School of Management
“Computerization hasn't saved a dime, nor has it improved administrative
efficiency”• 4,000 hospitals 2003 to 2007 • Computerization
– Weak correlation • Quality for MI
– No correlation• Cost savings• Improvements in administrative efficiency• Quality for pneumonia• Quality for heart failure• Overall quality (MI, heart failure, pneumonia)
Himmelstein, The American Journal of Medicine (2010) 123, 40-46
Quote from a surgeon beginning an EHR
• …our productivity is down 28%
• I am the highest paid transcriptionist in the state
• Each cancer patient chart takes me apprx 1 hour
• For the first time in my career, I turned down an add-on patient

Current EHR Future EHRMostly free text Structured data
Specialty Specific Systems ask for specialty specific data and in return
provide specialty specific CDS
Providers will enter Structured Data if they get value in return or if it saves them time
EHR: Paper + extra work + memory
Patient completes paper form
Reviews data using memory of guidelines
Staff enters data into the EHR
