    2/22/2010

The advent of electronic health records and electronic information exchange offers great promise, but also come with great challenges for information security and existing work processes. It is critical to set a long-term vision that ultimately improves health outcomes and incrementally proves that the value of health IT is tangible and worth ongoing investments.
