The author analyzes the effects of expansion broadband Internet access from 1999 to 2007 on labor market outcomes throughout United States. Recent federal policy programs have allocated $18 billion toward subsidizing spread this technology, especially rural areas. Understanding interplay between firms, and is important for evaluating whether additional scarce government resources should be improve type infrastructure. Using models that include county time fixed effects, finds gaining...

Electronic health records (EHR) are often presumed to reduce the significant and accelerating healthcare costs in United States. However, evidence on relationship between EHR adoption is mixed, leading skepticism about effectiveness of decreasing costs. We argue that simply looking at hospital-level effects can be misleading because benefits go beyond adopting hospital by creating regional spillovers via information patient sharing. When patients move hospitals, timely high-quality received...

Although significant research has examined how technology can intensify racial and other outgroup biases, limited work investigated the role information systems play in abating them. Racial biases are particularly worrisome healthcare, where underrepresented minorities suffer disparities access to care, quality of clinical outcomes. In this paper, we examine decision support (CDSS) attenuating systematic among black patients, relative white rates amputation revascularization stemming from...

The effect of information technology (IT) on employment is a crucial question in today’s economy given the increased digitization work. To analyze relationship between IT use and firm-level employment, we examine longitudinal role firm’s total number employees. Our data set comes from emerging Turkey, it represents firms different sizes industries. capture enterprise applications, such as resource planning customer management, Web e-banking e-government. empirical specifications exploit both...

Job erosion is a major concern globally, especially given the COVID-19 pandemic. Unemployment and low wages remain pressing societal challenges in wake of increased automation, more so for traditionally disadvantaged groups labor market, such as women, minorities, elderly. However, workers who possess relevant information technology (IT) skills may have an edge increasingly digital economy. In this study, we examine role IT market outcomes workers, using household use survey from emerging...

Electronic health record (EHR) systems allow physicians to automate the process of entering patient data relative manual entry in traditional paper-based records. However, such automated can lead increased reimbursement requests by hospitals from Medicare overstating complexity patients. The EHR module that has been alleged increase reimbursements is Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE) system, which populates charts with default templates and allows copy paste previous other patients’...

Recent policy programs have allocated over $17 billion towards subsidizing spread this technology, especially rural areas. Understanding interplay between firms, and is important for evaluating whether additional scarce government resources should be improve type infrastructure.

Because entrepreneurial activity can stimulate job creation and long-term economic growth, promoting entrepreneurship is an important goal. However, many financial, bureaucratic, social barriers short-circuit the process of actually starting a business, especially in transition economies that lack established institutional systems markets. The main obstacles are underdeveloped financial markets, perceptions administrative complexity, political instability, trust institutions. Gender...

We investigate the impact of health information exchange (HIE) use at visit level on patient outcomes, such as future behavior and number procedures performed patient, how effects differ across characteristics, for example, whether a has chronic conditions involves hospital switch. Timely sharing is expected to decrease fragmentation care improve decision‐making, diagnoses, plans, yet previous studies that examine benefits HIE do not focus these issues are unanimous in their findings general...

This study investigates the role of health information technology (HIT) in reducing claim denials, which are a significant burden for healthcare providers U.S. We theorize impacts electronic records (EHRs) on starting with an examination EHR adoption and followed by deeper assessment how EHRs sourced both within hospital across hospitals same system. put forth that while reduces likelihood denials improving accuracy completeness processing, it can also increase if applications from multiple...

Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems enable the coordination of care across providers and locations by sharing information electronically. This is particularly important for patients with chronic conditions who require regular from multiple specialists over a long period time. EHR can allow to coordinate their network ambulatory outpatient centers rather than central inpatient location, and, as result, receive at that are more convenient them offer better quality care. In this paper, we...
