Moving hospitals out of paper records and into seamless digital connectivity has been tougher than anyone but hard-core skeptics thought seven years ago, when the federal government began pouring billions of dollars into a push to make electronic medical records the universal standard. Computerization of health care data would quickly get patients’ health information where it needs to go, improving care and cutting costs.
That was the idea—but the path to it has been rocky. Overall, progress has been blocked, among other obstacles, by reluctance to share information with competitors, software from different suppliers that can’t communicate, physicians who have pushed back at hospitals where they had to struggle with unaccustomed computerized routines and the expense, often exceeding $1 billion in large hospital systems, of retooling outdated computers.
As things now stand, medical records are often incomplete and vital patient information is frequently hiding on health care islands—parked at one large health system but inaccessible to a hospital outside the system where that same patient may have just arrived in the Emergency Room. Or records aren’t sent to primary care providers, leaving them in the dark about the course of a patient’s treatments.
Amid continued concerns that digitized patient data still isn’t getting to the point of care, and facing pressure from providers and lawmakers who argue that hospitals and other health organizations are being compelled to do too much too fast despite the perception that they should be well down the road, the Department of Health and Human Services recently issued final rules on an advanced set of requirements to make electronic health information more readily available to clinicians. The new standards are promised to be simpler and more flexible, responding to complaints from hospitals and physicians.
The big picture of hospital connectivity in the U.S. today is "profoundly negative," says Eric Topol, author of "The Patient Will See You Now". "There’s been tremendous resources put into this and little to show for it," he says. "We have a country characterized by information-blocking, where there is a lack of connectivity from one health system to another, and patients are the victims because of all this Tower of Babel."
Topol points out that countries from Australia to Estonia have broken down barriers to information sharing and given patients greater ownership of their health care by putting their data into their own hands. He believes this model should replace the current "paternalistic" system where the control of patient information remains firmly with hospitals and other health providers. Many places around the world have instead adopted the patients-own-their-data model, Topol says. "Then you don’t worry so much about blocking, because the patient has the goods."
Which of the following is the best title of the text?
选项
A、Physicians Are Getting Accustomed to Computerized Routines
B、Patients Information Is Hiding on Health Care Islands
C、Hospitals Are Moving Slowly to Electronic Medical Records
D、Patients Should Have Control over Their Digital Medical Data
答案
C
解析
本文是典型的“现象分析型”议论文。全文的首句即提出本文的讨论话题“医院脱离纸质病历,向电子化过渡很艰难”,第二段首句用rocky一词再度重申了这一点,之后分析障碍的所在。第三、四段讲述了向电子化转型的具体困难,最后两段则指出其中的危害及应对方法。故本文都是围绕医院向电子化病历转型而展开的,故确定C项为答案。其他三项都是文中的细节。A项出现在第二段,且所述与原文的“医生对电脑化不适应”相反。B项出现在第三段,只是细节。D项仅能概括最后一段的内容。
