The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH)
Act of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) established incentives for electronic health record (EHR) adoption by physicians and hospitals.
This
Medicare and Medicaid payment incentive program was funded with stimulus dollars to help you and your clinic/organization to optimize the use of your Electronic Health Record and meet federal meaningful use requirements, or to help you begin to implement a system.
Each eligible professional in your practice may earn up to $44,000 over 5 years, starting with $18,000 in 2011.
