HITECH Legislation
The federal Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH) was enacted in 2009 as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) (Gialanella, 2012). The purpose of the ARRA was to stimulate the economy and improve health care (Gialanella, 2012). As a result, health information technology policies and standards, privacy and security, and meaningful use were developed to meet the requirements to protect patient health information and receive financial incentives tied to reimbursement initiatives (Gialanella, 2012).
HITECH Impact on my Organization
My facility recently implemented computerized physician order entry (CPOE) as a result of the new legislation. The for-profit facility is part of the Hospital Corporation of America (HCA), the largest provider of health services in America. The implementation of a large computer system, or any business or clinically associated improvement, is enacted throughout all organizations and most hospitals are not given a choice regarding which technology to implement. As a result, all facilities utilize the same computer systems. Although this is considered a wise business strategy, due to cost benefits and improved patient care coordination, most organizations would rather have input regarding decisions that affect clinicians and workflow processes.
