Health Care IT
Clinical technology -- like the MRI or CT scan -- has been adopted much more quickly in the U.S. than information technology like electronic health records. Last year's federal stimulus package included over $19 billion to speed up the transition to electronic records. As part of our series on the health care debate, we discuss changes in store for patients and providers.
Host: Michael Krasny
Guests:
- Jane Sarasohn-Kahn, health economist and management consultant for THINK-Health, a health consultancy
- Joseph DeLuca, managing practice director for IT Optimizers, a health care informatics consultancy
