Avoiding a Dismal Outcome in Healthcare
A conversation with Jeffrey C. Bauer, PhD
In the Fall 2007 issue of JHIM, Jeffrey C. Bauer, PhD, urges healthcare organizations to help their caregivers work smarter, rather than harder, by intelligently adopting and implementing information technology. In this interview, Dr. Bauer argues that the demand for healthcare services will always outpace the resources necessary to meet those needs. Therefore, it is essential for provider organizations to efficiently and effectively adopt the appropriate IT resources to meet specific challenges.

Woodside in the Fall 2007 issue of JHIM.
