  2. EHR HIT has tremendous promise as a means of decreasing workload, decreasing cost and improving quality of care

  3. EHR and productivity varies by specialty100 internists, pediatricians and family practitioners HemantBhargava, UC Davis Graduate School of Management • 25 to 33 percent drop in MD productivity • Over time • Internists slightly above original productivity • Pediatricians /family practitioners never recovered

  4. Quote from a breast surgeon beginning EHR use • …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

  5. “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
