What is the AAFP doing to help with EHR inbox burden?
The electronic health record is a critical tool for improving patient health and health care delivery and a cornerstone of health information technology. Widespread use of EHR technology promises to transform both the delivery of care and the development of public health initiatives but getting to less administrative complexity won't come without complication. The Academy carefully weighs prospective regulations and policy to ensure that HIT implementation and other shifts in the health IT landscape ultimately benefit family physicians.
