Fueled by the economic stimulus passed by Congress in 2008, the federal government has embarked on a controversial $30 billion program to induce doctors throughout the country to adopt electronic health records (EHRs) by 2014. The purpose is to create an interconnected system of electronic health records to improve safety and reduce medical costs.
But the United Kingdom has spent the last 6 years working on the same idea, and it's proven to be a colossal failure -- so much so that the government is drastically cutting its program. What happened to their plan? Should we be paying attention before rushing ahead with our own?
In 2005 the United Kingdom embarked on the largest investment ($18 billion) in health information technology in the world. Yet despite expectations that the system would increase efficiency and reduce medical errors, their efforts neither improved health nor saved money -- in fact in some cases, they may have led to patient harm.
Britain's government-run medical system is obviously different from our complex public-private insurance system. However, its electronic health record project bears an uncanny resemblance to the program President Obama is starting. Here are the mistakes the British committed that we are now repeating:
Too large and ambitious: The UK project tried to accomplish too much, too fast, attempting to digitize health records for the whole population in a period of four years. This massive undertaking is years behind schedule and has delivered only a fraction of what it promised. Despite all the money poured into the system, the vast majority of hospitals in the UK still don't have integrated electronic health records. Because non-clinicians developed the system, the electronic forms they designed have little to do with how doctors treat patients -- making it unworkable for many physicians. As the Chair of the British House of Commons Public Accounts Committee recently stated, "This is the biggest IT [Information Technology] project in the world and it is turning into the biggest disaster."
Too dependent on commercial, proprietary companies: Rather than create one system and beta-test it, the UK government depended on four companies to build the system, two of which quit or were fired for missing deadlines. So the health records were never developed in the south of England. The computer software was secret and proprietary. There was no accountability to the public, and the vendors did not provide enough technical support to clinicians having trouble using the records.
The resulting software errors and crashes caused missing or incorrect clinical information and sometimes threatened patient safety, for example by causing surgical delays and the cancellation of hundreds of operations.
If a country like Britain -- which already has a national health system and is a fraction of the size of the US -- had so many problems with electronic health records, imagine the problems America would face. Here, instead of four companies competing for contracts, we have dozens of vendors -- most with proprietary software -- vying for billions in stimulus funds. It will be virtually impossible to make their products compatible, therefore not allowing all doctors in different offices to see the same patient's health information.
Even our partial adaption of electronic health records is causing problems. Over the last couple of years, doctors and hospitals have reported to the FDA dozens of medical injuries -- including six deaths and preventable heart attacks -- caused by problems related to computerized health records such as software errors and unreadable computer screens. Some errors resulted in drug doses that were 10 times higher than intended. FDA officials called this the "tip of the iceberg".
More than 50 medical organizations, including the AMA, have called on the Secretary of Health and Human Services to delay the program. In response, the administration delayed some of the required health IT functions, but kept the same 2014 deadline.
How do we avoid the UK's failure? The administration or Congress should slow down the program and delete those parts of the legislation that fine doctors for not using this technology. There's no need to have this system in place by 2014. Instead, we should conduct rigorous studies of the cost-effectiveness of electronic health records systems before mandating their use. Rather than force doctors to choose from dozens of commercial software products developed in secret, we should take a hint from the non-commercial sector, such as the Veterans Administration, which uses "open-source" coding so people can work collaboratively to continuously improve the system.
The Obama administration wants government programs to be based on evidence of effectiveness. Simply following the lead of "IT believers" and salesmen without the requisite evidence will repeat the UK's failures. Now is the time to proceed carefully, consider existing research and the British experience, and chart a more rational course into the digital age of medicine.

DEFY THE CHALLENGES OF EVERYDAY LIFE
THE NEW MOTOROLA DEFY IS NOW AVAILABLE FROM £25 PER MONTH FROM
THE CARPHONE WAREHOUSEThe Carphone Warehouse makes a big splash into the Android market with the new Motorola DEFY; a slim smartphone built to ‘defy’ the common causes of damage to mobile phones. Dust proof and water resistant, it provides protection from sudden rain showers, spilt drinks, or a sandy beach. The 3.7” high resolution touch screen display is large and resilient, with outstanding protection against scratch damage, resisting keys, pens and coins. This beautiful display also provides edge to edge views of favourite photos, videos and websites. CrystalTalk PLUS diminishes noisy environments with two microphones which filter out background noise and amplifies voice so you don’t have to shout. The smart battery profiles allow you to switch to battery saver mode and get more life out of your phone inbetween charges.
Motorola DEFY is perfect for web-browsing, gaming and movie-watching, due to the speedy processor, advanced browsing capabilities and large screen. The phone is also equipped with MOTOBLUR, which constantly streams all of the user’s texts, emails and social network updates straight to their homescreen, making it easier to manage contacts.
What’s more, DEFY is enabled to stream, store and share content with DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) compatible devices around the house, such as HDTVs, PCs and games consoles. This means that music, video and photos are wirelessly transferrable between DLNA devices, making life more streamlined. The 5-megapixel camera with flash, digital zoom and auto focus allows users to capture important occasions. For added entertainment, the Connected Music Player means that users can discover, buy and download their favourite music straight from the phone. Access to 100,000 apps, widgets and games from Android Market further enhances the choice of entertainment available on Motorola DEFY.
