MANAGING TECHNOLOGY
HEADNOTEThe vision of a digital health network faces funding and compatibility challenges.
IMAGE ILLUSTRATION 1Mychelle Mowry began working in health care information technology for a small software company in the 1980s. "That was before its time," says Mowry, now vice president for health care with Oracle in Redwood Shores, Calif. It took years before hospitals and doctors offices began adopting systems to store patient information electronically.
Twenty years later, digital health records are coming of age. "Now we're getting front-page headlines," Mowry says. Health care IT could save lives, she says. For example, access to electronic records could help identify trends such as the increased risk of heart attack and stroke associated with the painkiller Vioxx, which was pulled from the market in September.
