2 President Bush’s goal in 2004 Executive order established the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONCHIT) as part of the Dept of Health & Human Services (HHS) –Dr. David Brailer appointed the first National Coordinator “… an Electronic Health Record for every American by the year By computerizing health records, we can avoid dangerous medical mistakes, reduce costs, and improve care.” - State of the Union address, Jan. 20, 2004 A Bit of History …

3 “To lower health care cost, cut medical errors, and improve care, we’ll computerize the nation’s health records in five years, saving billions of dollars in health care costs and countless lives.” - First Weekly Address Jan. 24, 2009 February 17, 2009 – the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA – Stimulus Bill) is signed into law –HITECH component of ARRA provides an incentive program to stimulate the adoption and use of HIT, especially EHR’s –Dr. David Bluementhal appointed the new National Coordinator The Time is Now … President Obama’s goal in 2009

4 IOM Future of Nursing Report Oct 2010 The national focus on HIT continues … PCAST Report Dec 2010 (President’s Council of Advisors on Science & Technology) PPACA Mar 2010 (Patient Protection & Affordable Care Act) “There is no aspect of our profession that will be untouched by the informatics revolution in progress.” - Angela McBride, Distinguished Professor and University Dean Emeritus Indiana University School of Nursing

5 HIT as the means, not the end Dr. David Blumenthal, previous National Coordinator of HIT, emphasizes “HIT is the means, but not the end. Getting an EHR up and running in health care is not the main objective behind the incentives provided by the federal government under ARRA. Improving health is. Promoting health care reform is.” - At the National HIPAA Summit in Washington, D.C. on September 16, 2009

6 Dr. Farzad Mostashari, current National Coordinator of HIT, emphasizes “The goal of implementing health IT is to provide care that is safer, improves the quality of care, creates greater efficiency, and is more coordinated and patient- centered. Technology can help lead the nation to a place where we can "prevent a million heart attacks and strokes in the next five years, where we can reduce hospital acquired conditions by 40% over the next three years, [and] reduce readmissions by 20% over the next three years.“ - At the HIMSS Conference on February 28, 2012 Modernizing health care
