“The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act provides reimbursements to physicians who purchase and implement an Electronic Health Record (EHR). In order to participate in the program, physicians and EHR vendors must meet a set of requirements. You may have heard the term “meaningful use” in the news; it refers to a set of requirements for physicians and vendors. EHR vendors must provide certain functionality, and physicians must actually utilize the features in their practice.”
