In addition, the pursuit of value-based care, in which we deliver better care with better outcomes at lower cost, places new demands on the health care system that our IT infrastructure needs to be able to support. Provider organizations pursuing new models of health care delivery and payment are finding that their electronic systems lack the capabilities needed to succeed. The result is a chasm between the current health IT ecosystem and the health IT ecosystem that is desperately needed.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>In this paper, we identify a set of focal goals and associated near-term achievable actions that are critical to pursue in order to enable the health IT ecosystem to meet the acute needs of modern health care delivery. These ideas emerged from discussions that occurred during the 2015 American Medical Informatics Association Policy Invitational Meeting. To illustrate the chasm and motivate our recommendations, we created a vignette from the multistakeholder perspectives of a patient, his provider, and researchers\/innovators. It describes an idealized scenario in which each stakeholder\u2019s needs are supported by an integrated health IT environment. We identify the gaps preventing such a reality today and present associated policy recommendations that serve as a blueprint for critical actions that would enable us to cross the current health IT chasm by leveraging systems and information to routinely deliver high-value care.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jamia\/ocx017","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,2,15]],"date-time":"2017-02-15T08:56:51Z","timestamp":1487149011000},"page":"1036-1043","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":43,"title":["Crossing the health IT chasm: considerations and policy recommendations to overcome current challenges and enable value-based care"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Julia","family":"Adler-Milstein","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information, Department of Health Management and Policy, School of Public Health, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Peter J","family":"Embi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Regenstrief Institute, Indianapolis, IN, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Blackford","family":"Middleton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Apervita Inc., Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health, Boston, MA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Indra Neil","family":"Sarkar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Biomedical Informatics, Brown University, Providence, RI, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jeff","family":"Smith","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"American Medical Informatics Association, Bethesda, MD, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,4,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"2020110612444729300_ocx017-B1","unstructured":"Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology.
