Those of us who've been laboring to illuminate the problem of EHRs' facilitation of false claims welcome you to HIMSS. If you've not seen them yet, do review the two reports executed for HHS's Office of the National Coordinator for HIT in 2005 and 2007 on EHRs and fraud. The first highlights law enforcements authorities' interests in fraud control and also indicated that, initially, EHRs are expected to worsen fraud. The second report was commissioned to recommend how to mitigate this risk. Why, you might ask, were the recommendations of the latter never proposed by ONC for implementation? If you have difficulty locating either report, please do contact me. All who are concerned with the fundamental trustworthiness of the electronic medical record look forward to increasing attention to the problematic features (or lack thereof) that will facilitate criminal enterprises and also ensnare the honest with designs and functions that make it difficult to prove proper records and refute ill intent.
