The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
By Staff Reporters
On February 17, 2009, President Obama signed into law the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act [ARRA]. According to some, the law provides an opportunity to transform healthcare in the United States.
HIT
The law also provides $19 billion in health information technology [HIT] funding to ensure widespread adoption and use of interoperable HIT systems like the electronic health records funding provision. But, as ME-P readers are aware; this is not apparently for electronic Dental Records [eDRs]; and CCHIT is no advocate of professional diversity.
HITECH
Obama’s signing of the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act [a portion of the stimulus package] recognized the importance of HIT as the foundation for health care reform and cost savings.
