A recent study shows that a majority of medical providers who are training in a setting rich with health information technology (HIT) will feel less confident in their care if they then practice in a setting that is not as rich with HIT. The study, published in the December 2008 Academic Medicine, the journal of the Association of the American Medical Colleges, surveyed medical students and residents from Vanderbilt University Medical Center during 2004 and 2005.
An American Medical News article reports that in the years after the survey, medical students training in these HIT-rich settings will be more likely to look for residencies and practices that used electronic medical records and other HIT. Additionally, those who move into settings that do not use as much HIT will become advocates for employing more HIT systems.
