“As the federal government continues to push EHR adoption, many commercial payers are also testing the water, and finding it to be pretty comfortable. Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Rhode Island (BCBSRI) just announced the results of a three-year pilot program designed to increase the use of EHRs and improve health care delivery.
