Healthcare in the United States is expensive and
inefficient. As a whole, it is at least ten years behind
other industries in the application of information
technology to processes and practices. Hospital
administrators, with a cadre of consultants and
vendors in tow, are rushing to catch up, spending
billions on IT. Unfortunately, process knowledge is
often lacking, and technology interventions fail to
achieve their goals. This contributes to the low rate of
adoption—less than 10 percent—of tools such as
electronic medical records.
