“…Besides improving the quality of patient care, meaningful use of EHRs may lead to financial gains for treatment providers through more efficient use of staff, and more efficient management of information for third-party reimbursement (Peterson et al, 2011;Song et al, 2011). Other studies, however, have found that the effects of the use of EHRs may vary considerably and may not increase the likelihood that a patient with multiple chronic conditions (as SUD patients may present in different medical settings) receives treatment for behavioral or mental health treatment (Garg et al, 2005;Harman et al, 2012).…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: This research studied the relationships of the components of entrepreneurial strategic orientation (ESO) with implementation of electronic health records (EHRs) within organizations that treat patients with substance use disorders (SUDs). Method: A national sample of 317 SUD treatment providers were studied in a period after the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act was enacted (2009) and meaningful use EHR requirements were established (2010), but before implementation of the Affordable Care Act. The study sample was selected using stratified random sampling and was part of a longitudinal study of treatment providers across the United States. Results: After we controlled for potentially confounding variables, four components of ESO had a significant relationship with EHR implementation. Levels of slack resources in an organization moderated the relationship of ESO with meaningful use of EHRs, increasing the strength of the relationship for some components but reducing the strength of others. Conclusions: From a policy and practice perspective, the results suggest that training and education to develop higher levels of ESO within SUD treatment organizations are likely to increase their level of meaningful use of EHRs, which in turn may enhance the integration of SUD treatment with primary medical providers, better preparing SUD treatment providers for the environmental changes of the Affordable Care Act.

“…Other benefits of EMRs include potential cost-effectiveness, as well as improved safety, quality, and efficiency. 90,91 There are many EMR options available for institutions including traditional desktop EMRs as well as internet EMRs; ChartWare, EpicCare, and Health Probe were given the highest overall system rating. 92 …”

Despite the widespread dissemination of information about the health risks associated with smoking, many cancer patients continue to smoke, which results in a decreased quality of life, an increased probability of cancer recurrence, and a decreased survival time. Efficacious interventions are available to assist cancer patients to quit smoking, yet smoking cessation interventions are often not implemented. This review describes how clinicians, administrators, insurers, and purchasers can encourage a culture of health care in which tobacco cessation interventions are implemented consistent with evidenced-based standards of care. Implementing efficacious tobacco cessation interventions can reduce morbidity and mortality among cancer patients.

“…Furthermore, other obstacles imply inconsistencies between the software and procedural workflow. As a result, selected e-health components, and factors related to training, support, and maintenance may perhaps decrease some of these obstacles (Song et al, 2011).…”

The advances in interdisciplinary studies are driving universities to utilize their available resources to efficiently enable development processes and provide increasing examples of research while gradually allocating the disciplines' resources. Ultimately, this trend asks universities to provide a platform of integrated disciplines, along with solid management to support the full-life cycle of interdisciplinary studies in fulfillment with internal policy and external regulations. To achieve this, we believe that this trend matches with business scholars to make a meaningful effort to show that their research thinking is interdisciplinary in nature. The key question is how business scholars, as professionals, provide the most value from academic disciplines in interdisciplinary research to solve real-life problems. Answering this question is accomplished in this study by using theoretical analysis to explore the concepts, benefits and uses of the existing knowledge base in interdisciplinary research as an innovative approach that links the business related-disciplines, people, and places involved to allocate universities' resources effectively.
