美国医疗保健信息技术（HIT）市场已经崩溃;尽管有相当多的证据表明HIT对护理质量和患者安全的影响，但HIT的广泛采用并未发生。虽然采用HIT不会治愈所有的医疗保健问题，但它是朝着美国医疗保健提供系统转型的重要一步。在这篇评论中，我描述了与HIT市场失灵有关的几个关键问题，以及联邦政府可以作为灵巧而温和的“第三只手”来帮助亚当·斯密的“看不见的手”的几种方式。
The U.S. health care information technology (HIT) market is broken; broadscale adoption of HIT is not occurring despite considerable evidence of its impact on the quality of care and patient safety. Although adoption of HIT will not cure all that ails health care, it is an important step toward transformation of the U.S. health care delivery system. In this commentary I describe several critical issues pertaining to the HIT market failure and several ways in which the federal government may act as a deft and gentle "Third Hand" to assist the Invisible Hand of Adam Smith.
