The number of Americans with chronic disease is growing
significantly, yet our nation’s health care system is ill
equipped to address this growing problem due to a
number of factors. The adoption of health information technology
(IT) and health information exchange can play a critical
role in supporting chronic care management, by providing readily
available, comprehensive information about the patient to those
who deliver care, those who manage care, and those who receive
care, resulting in greater care coordination, clinical decision support
at the point of care, the use of timely, accurate information for
performance measurement and quality improvement, and
increased patient engagement.
