This is because most of the commercially available EMRs, including those that are ‘certified,’focus on what is good for the doctors and the well-being of their medical practices, but do not yet support the capabilities required to assist patients and doctors to collabrate and make better decisions… This means that for all practical purposes most EMRs remain ‘islands of data’ that can’t connect even with the archipelagoof data in their communities, not to mention the continents of data elsewhere.” - David Kibbe, MD, senior advisor Center for Health Information Technology, American Academy of Family Physicians The William Blair Health Care IT Index (WBHCIT), an equal-weighted basket comprising 31 HCIT stocks, has been created to capitalize on trends in the industry that include a heightened demand for clinical information systems.
