RFID in Health Care

Today, I intended to get the second part of my Obama-nalysis on health care IT, but was busy managing multiple other projects. There is plenty of information in the news today both in opinion and editorial content to support the points I made yesterday.

As far as the doubts as to whether Obama's plan will work:

Those who have commented seem to be making an assertion based on opinions that premiums won’t be lowered if more technology is adopted. You can't exactly draw a straight line from using technology to lower premiums but the rationale goes something like this:

If healthcare insurance premiums are based on an algorithm calculating the cost of care vs the risk or potential for care then lowering the cost of care should lower premiums. The question is whether the cost savings are picked up by the hospitals or the patients/insurance companies?

The skeptics seem to be arguing that the hospital absorbs the cost savings and does not pass it on, but even if this is true -- which I'm not sure it will be -- there are still many benefits to patients and insurance companies through the utilization of health care IT. They can't really argue that the latter point isn't a fact. Simply read my other posting, or those of any health care IT writer or researcher to see the hard facts.
