HEALTH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, E-PRESCRIBING AND HURRICANE KATRINA: COULD ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORDS HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE?
Robert Bond Malone is currently pursuing a J.D. at The University of Oklahoma College of Law as part of the Class of 2007. Below, Mr. Malone concludes his three-part series on Health Information Technology. This article follows the second installment, entitled Health Information Technology and HIPAA: Can We Satisfy Security and Privacy Standards in the Digital Age? In that article he considered whether this technology can co-exist with HIPAA and its concerns regarding privacy over sensitive health records. Refer to 3 Okla. J.L. & Tech. 36 and 3 Okla. J.L. & Tech. 37 for a full copy of the first two parts in this series. Here, Mr. Malone considers the possible benefits of employing this technology, specifically "E-Prescribing," in a situation such as the one confronted in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Mr. Malone concludes that disasters such as hurricanes show how poorly equipped the healthcare industry is to handle catastrophic situations and how valuable Health Information Technology could have been.
