Healthcare Treatment Gaps
Nearly a decade after the Institute of Medicine called attention to the problem of health disparities, gaps continue to exist in access and quality of care.
But, medical providers are proving that those gaps can be closed if they are armed with relevant and actionable data.

Decision Support Systems [DSS]
While we are waiting on the CR Foundation to share data supporting their recent claim that EHRs in dentistry offer a “high return on investment” over simple paper records, it’s been revealed elsewhere in healthcare that even in the treatment of type II diabetes, EHRs aren’t worth their cost. “JAMIA: Clinical decision support systems are not cost-effective” by Luke Gale was posted in CMIO on Friday.
http://www.cmio.net/index.php?option=com_articles&view=article&id=30398
“Computerized decision support systems (CDSS) are believed to reduce healthcare costs while enhancing patient care, but a new research study determined that the implementation of a CDSS to treat patients with type II diabetes was too expensive for the health improvements associated with it.”
Since dental care is hardly as complicated as diabetes care, and since dentists treat thousands of patients a year instead of tens-of-thousands like physicians, how can that not make a dentist curious about CR’s alleged proof of ROI for digital records?
What’s more, since virtually all physicians are HIPAA Covered Entities, the researchers didn’t even factor in the still-unknown cost of compliance. On the other hand, dental offices with paper records have a long track record of operating safely and efficiently without the need for digital PHI and HIPAA compliance.
Dental leaders, I think you should start being as honest with dentists as medical leaders are with physicians. If EDRs are currently a bad idea, simply let those who depend on your advice know now rather than later.
You can tell us. We’re doctors.
