Health care is in need of an industrial revolution. To reform health care delivery, improve quality, and address the economic burdens that health care places on business and individuals in this country, we must first have access to the data that will allow us to create meaningful process improvements and reforms. Only by implementing computerized care tools can we gather the data. The government--and Medicare in particular--should fund this effort and use its purchasing power to ensure that our health care infrastructure is brought up to the level that all other key industries demand.
