Hi, do I think health care is under-invested in clinical information technology? Yes. Do I think more EMRs could make a positive difference? Yes. Do I believe that EMRs, all by themselves, will assure cheaper, better health care?  No.  Absolutely not.  Even in theory, this is a big lift.  It’s the way people choose to use the EMRs that determine their relative effectiveness, and there’s nothing about an EMR that forces more collaboration and connection between and among separate departments treating someone with diabetes.  It can enable that interaction, but it can’t make it happen on its own.
