hospitals and physicians to adopt an electronic health record ("EHR") system before the end of 2015. The act also provides funding for, among other things, an EHR infrastructure and technologies to allow for the electronic flow of information; the support of regional and sub-national efforts toward health information exchange; the promotion of interoperable clinical data repositories performing comparative effectiveness research on how electronic data use impacts healthcare treatments and strategies; and the integration of health IT education in the training of healthcare professionals. In addition, the HITECH Act establishes new responsibilities for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS"), through the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (the "National Coordinator"), to develop and adopt policies and standards, including new privacy standards, for EHRs and other forms of health information technology. Given the scope of the HITECH Act, and its mandate to HHS to act quickly, regulations and guidance are likely to be issued by the agency regarding the next steps for providers and others to take in the near future. Below are some preliminary questions that hospitals and physicians may want to consider.

Quick Count

Saiful Mujani, Ph.D.
Direktur Eksekutif Lembaga Survei Indonesia (LSI)

Dalam seminggu terakhir ini berita tentang hasil pemilihan gubernur Sumatra Selatan banyak dikaitkan dengan hasil “perhitungan cepat” (quick count) beberapa lembaga atau perusahaan. Ini karena lembaga-lembaga atau perusahaan konsultan itu mengumumkan hasil Pilgub Sumsel hanya sekitar 1-2 jam setelah masa pencoblosan ditutup. Ini sangat cepat dibanding kalau harus menunggu hasil pleno KPU kabupaten yang memakan waktu setidaknya 7 hari.

Kontroversi

Namun demikian, quick count di Pilgub Sumut ini kontroversial. Hasil Quick Count banyak diberitakan dan disorot oleh berbagai kalangan terutama karena tiga lembaga yang menyelenggarakan quick count mengumumkan hasil yang bertentangan (kontroversi). Lembaga Survei Indonesia (LSI) mengumukan pasangan Aldy menang dalam Pilgub tersebut dengan perolehan suara 52,12 persen. Dengan magin of error kurang lebih 1%, maka angka paling buruk yang diperoleh Aldy, menurut LSI, 51,12% (52,12% – 1%). Bahkan kalau margin of error-nya 2% seperti yang digunakan oleh Perseroan Terbatas Lingkaran Survei Indonesia (PT. LSI) dan Pusat Kajian Strategis (Puskaptis), Aldy tetap menang dengan perolehan suara 50,12% (52,12% – 2%). Ini berarti, menurut LSI, Aldy dipastikan menang kecuali terjadi kecurangan secara berarti dalam rekapitulasi suara dari TPS oleh petugas, atau terjadi kesalahan penghitungan oleh LSI sendiri.
