The Healthcare Information Technology Stimulus Incentives will trigger a massive move of physician practices from paper charts to EHR. However, this massive move will not necessarily decrease the malpractice risk in physician practices. The transition to Electronic Healthcare Records (EHR) may expose physician practices to MORE malpractice risks due to a number of product, implementation, and usage issues. Practices must be aware of the malpractice risk issues associated with the use of EHRs, as well as be prepared to develop and use risk mitigation strategies.
