Since its inception, the New England Healthcare Institute has been committed to the identification, assessment and promotion of valuable health care technologies with the potential to improve the quality of care while reducing cost. The Fast Assessment and Adoption of Significant Technologies (FAST) initiative, conducted in partnership with the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative, has been at the core of our work to promote innovation in health care and, among others, has resulted in the identification of computerized physician order entry (CPOE) and tele-ICU programs as key elements of health information technology policy at the private, state and federal levels.
