Assessing the Impact of Health System Organizational Structure on Hospital Electronic Data Sharing
By: A Jay Holmgren and Eric Ford
Abstract
Horizontal consolidation in the hospital industry has gained momentum in the United States despite concerns over rising costs and lower quality. Hospital systems frequently point to potential gains in interoperability and electronic exchange of patient information as consolidation benefits. We sought to assess whether hospitals in different health system structures varied in their interoperable data sharing.
