“Today, the push for EHR [electronic health records] adoption has taken on greater urgency as part of the wider health reform effort. While there are divergent views on the need for health reform, both sides of the aisle generally agree on the benefits associated with EHR adoption and the potential it holds to reduce medical errors, increase quality of care, improve efficiency, and enhance coordination and information management among providers.

Carnegie and Karen S. Lovitch outline the potential legal risks of adopting EHR and the best practices to follow to avoid liability.
