Question

explain how the PPACA promotes the adoption of technology to improve the quality of care. 1-2 pages

Answer 1

Usage of Electronic Health Records and Health information technology is one of the themes of the PPACA to achieve the health goals . PPACA promotes the adoption of technology to improve the quality of care by the following ways:-

- Integration of Physician Quality Reporting Initiative (PQRI) and Meaningful Use Reporting

- Identification of Quality Measurement Gaps

- Administrative Simplification

And its main reason was to further expand data breach notifications and the protection of electronically protected health information (ePHI), to increase the number of penalties for repeated or uncorrected HIPAA violations. I this way they can ensure the safety of health data about the patients and provide a efficient care .
