The Impact of Electronic Health Records on Ambulatory Costs Among Medicaid Beneficiaries
2013
Background Broad adoption of electronic health records (EHRs) is a potential strategy for curbing healthcare cost growth, which is particularly vital for
Medicaid. Despite limited evidence for EHR-related cost savings, the 2009 HITECH Act included incentives for providers to become meaningful users of EHRs. We evaluated a large Massachusetts EHR pilot to obtain early insight into the potential for the national strategy to reduce
short-runhealthcare costs in the
Medicaidpopulation.
