“In a January 21, 2010 Perspective piece in NEJM, authors Steven Shea, M.D., and George Hripcsak, M.D., describe the practice of incentive payments from hospitals to support physician adoption of EMRs (EHRs in the US). Payment of incentives for this purpose is exempted from the Stark amendment to the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1989, which prohibits hospitals from offering physicians incentives for providing referrals or admissions.”
