National Health and Hospitals Reform Commission
More and Associates Submission
More and Associates is a small consulting firm which consults in the e-Health domain.
More and Associates are convinced there is overwhelming evidence that appropriate deployment and use of information technology in the Health Sector (e-Health) can enable much enhanced sustainability, quality, safety, efficiency and effectiveness in the Health System.
The professional evidence supporting this contention is available at the following URL:
The Health IT Bibliography is a unique and highly valuable resource which should be thoroughly considered by the Commission in its deliberations.
Detailed reviewed references cover the following areas of e-Health value, adoption and deployment.
Organizational Strategy
Technology
Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS)
Computerized Provider Order Entry (CPOE) Systems
Electronic Health Record (EHR) Systems
Health Information Exchange (HIE)
Standards and Interoperability
Evaluation
Evaluation Studies in Health IT
Additional evidence is also available from my blog on Health IT which has over 450 articles on the topic.

We believe an appropriate consideration of the place of e-Health in all the reform proposals developed by the Commission is vital. If this is not done a key enabler of reform may be ignored to the peril of the success of the whole reform enterprise.
Yours sincerely,
Signed
David G. More
Executive Director
