With health care reform pushing for digital medical records, there could be big money at stake for whoever provides the necessary platform, and Dell hopes to be at the forefront. The OEM on Thursday announced a new service it says will help doctors and hospitals easily transition to electronic medical records (EMR).
The service is already in use by a handful of hospitals, and according to Dell, its EMR system will serve as a link between doctors and their sponsoring hospitals to share patient information, collaborate on health care, and for the bean counters, cut back on administrative costs.
The bean counters also know that thanks to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act passed earlier this year, doctors and hospitals which can demonstrate a meaningful use of EMR systems in their practices by 2011 stand to receive financial incentives in the form of reimbursements. Dell apparently knows it too.
