HIT Implementation Press Kit


Electronic Health Records Aided by Recovery Act The passage of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act has created a bold initiative for the American healthcare system. The initiative provides incentives for physicians and other providers to tap into the power of electronic health records (EHRs). Physicians, hospitals and health systems may be eligible to benefit from the incentives, whether through first-time deployment of EHRs or completion of existing healthcare IT projects.
